I’ve lived with my roommate for 3 years now. She has a large dog who honestly - is a sweet heart. She’s got some behavioral issues (jealousy, food aggression, separation anxiety) that my roommate either refuses to think is an issue or just doesn’t handle.
Recently my roommate got a new FWB who for a whole slew of reasons isn’t allowed over to our house. She’s been staying with him consistently and is leaving her dog unattended and locked in a back room for 12+ hours or even days. Part of it is she thinks I will just take care of her - which I will let her out and love on her but I’m at my breaking point in constantly feeding her because her owner forgot, or taking her on a quick walk because she gets a little neurotic without exercise.
Main reason this kicked off and I found the dog a new home is because I went out of town for a 5-day weekend. came home and her dog had shit all over the back room, and was noticably thinner. I called my roommate out and she tried to push it on me for not reminding her how long I’d be away. And lied about coming in at certain times which I knew because I checked our front door camera and there is no recording of her and when I called her on it she just walked out to avoid the fight.
I told her the dog got out of the backyard but I gave her to another friends grandma who recently lost her husband and is living alone. Roommate didn’t even try to find her dog which makes me regret it less but am I the asshole?
