## The Unwilling Dog Custody Battle
When I got divorced from my second husband, I never could have imagined that it would lead to a bitter custody battle over our beloved dog. Let me tell you the whole story.
### The Perfect Pet
We got our tricolor male Brittany spaniel from a breeder, and he turned out to be the most loving, intelligent, and wonderful dog. My kids and I adored him, but unfortunately, my ex-husband wasn’t always the most gentle with him.
### The Decision to Rehome
Unfortunately, due to my increasing health issues and my husband’s allergies, we made the painful decision to rehome our beloved dog. This was an incredibly difficult choice, but we knew it was the best thing for him.
### The Perfect New Family
After our former neighbors, who were the perfect fit for our dog, moved to a location near my mother, the decision to rehome him with them was an easy one. They had a large house, a big yard, and plenty of time and love to give to our pet.
### The Bitter Ex-Husband
When my ex-husband found out about our plan to rehome the dog, he became aggressive and demanded that he take the dog instead. This was despite the fact that he was living in a small townhouse, working two jobs, and rarely home to care for the pet.
### The Ultimatum
Our former neighbors, feeling uncomfortable with the situation, reached out to me and expressed their concerns about taking the dog while my ex-husband was objecting. They wanted his agreement before proceeding.
### The Rightful Decision
Knowing that our dog would have a much better quality of life with our former neighbors, who lived in a spacious home with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, we knew that their home was the best place for our pet.
### Standing Up for Our Dog
When my ex-husband refused to consider the well-being of the dog and only wanted him as a way to exert control and symbolize his “victory,” I knew I had to take action.
### Exposing the Truth
I decided to reach out to his new wife and let her know the truth about the situation. I shared the quotes from my ex-husband about not caring if the dog would be better off elsewhere and made her fully aware of the real reason behind his demands.
### Resolution and Happy Ending
After some “praying” on his part, my ex-husband miraculously had a change of heart and agreed that it was best for our dog to go to our former neighbors. This decision ultimately led to our dog having a fulfilling, joyful life with them until he passed away.
In conclusion, despite the drama and the bitter custody battle, our dog ended up in the perfect home and lived a wonderful life. I couldn’t be more grateful for the happy ending for our beloved pet. 🐾
Love that the new wife was decent and helped you put him in his place!

I get the impression there might be two sides to this story…
How many “Wasbunds” do you have?
curious, why wasbund? ive never seen the word🤔
What the fuck is a wasbund?
idk lol whats the wasbund thing like washed up husband or was your husband ? its funny. anyways sorry i only got thru about 1/4 of that above but the wasbund got me now I gotta go bye.
Your choice of the word wasbund is infuriating and I don’t know why. Please never use that word again
Fobromyalgia so bad you can’t even pet your dog, but you can travel cross country to take him to a different home?
Also, that breed of dog is very low maintenance for grooming, causing less in the way of allergies.
Why couldn’t your kids walk and assist in taking care of the dog?
Dogs are a lifetime commitment. It sounds like you and your new future wasband just no longer wanted the dog.
I feel so sorry for your kids having two parents who behave like children
omg people just can’t push thru words like wusband, and the mess OP had in their old marriage/divorce time etc. to at least see that the dog got the loving family with enough time and energy to being cared for. Which was the whole point of it.
Stopped reading after first paragraph (“wasband”??). OP’s ex husband may be a terrible person, but OP sounds pretty annoying herself!
Thank you for putting so much love and thoughts into rehoming your dog, rather than abandoning it at a shelter. You were clearly an excellent care taker for him.
Folks, check OP’s history. First, OP’s husband is an absolute jerk. Then, she writes about her step-daughter in the entitled people sub. I wonder what are the stories of people she trashes online
Wusband?
You sound like a charm yourself
And why couldn’t your kids take care of it? He could be an awful person I don’t know, but it looks like you only fight that hard for the dog to be petty honestly! Also, if things went your way why so you need to come here for opinions? And OMG please stop using wasbund, it’s very annoying and it made very hard to read and even understand your story, since you call wasbund to all of your former and actual husband.
giving away someone’s dog is more than petty.. that’s callous and sick
Something tells me you’re the problem
Ahw! Thanks for your story. I hope your four-legged friend is catching its tail fulltime in Doggo Heaven!
So you fought your ex husband for custody of a dog you didn’t want to get in the first place and were not able or willing to take care of. Then you had someone else dog sit a bunch until you decided to formalize the arrangement and just give the dog away. But your ex husband and the people you were giving the dog to realized you were just keeping his dog away from him for spite, and none of them were OK with that. So then his new wife (Who, hopefully, he’s happy with, now that he’s married to someone who isn’t a nightmare) called up your friends and said “Hey, maybe you should just accept the dog from his psychotic ex, and then once you’ve got it you can just hand it over to him, since he actually wants it and she doesn’t.”
Is that about the long and short of it? Lord knows, whatever you do, don’t post this story in AITA. You’ll get an even mix of “YTA” and “This must be ragebait, no one could be this awful.”
“Wasbund” is my new favorite term.
Love this story. Thank you for posting
Wasband FA & FO! What a perpetual LOSER!!!
“a cheating, gaslighting, angry, highly macho, competitive, controlling jerk”
Don’t hold back.
Good for you, a great story. There is no selfishness on your part. It’s wonderful that the new wife was reasonable. On a sidenote, I’m not sure what some of the comments are about…? They’re focused on a word. An insignificant word in a story. A story shows that you are anything but selfish. You truly have the sweet dog’s best interests. Why would anyone stick up for your ex who had planned on keeping it outside with electric fence while he worked two jobs?? (Where is the reasoning??) And what a wonderful bonus with the (already very familiar) lovely family who previously took care of him and later adopted him much to the their children’s delight. Can not understand how anyone can question your actions as being petty when they honestly were not. I’m not sure what kind of STICK POLE they have up their butts… perhaps the world really is falling apart around us, but to squabble over a silly portmanteau word?! Perhaps these people are fighting over anything that is slightly nonconforming? I mean, a few comments seemed downright misogynistic towards OP and I don’t understand why.. AND WHY ARE THEY QUESTIONING HER PAIN FROM HER DEBILITATING DISEASE??? That has me shaking my head the most as I suppose they know her pain better? Perhaps these are the same stick-up-the-butt people who got upset when the ugly, blonde, bully lost at the end of Karate Kid? 🤔
