BF and I have been together about 6 months and for the most part, I'm really happy. But there's one point of conflict that I can't seem to shake: his dog. He's had his dog since he was a puppy and he's maybe 5 or 6 now. His dog is a pitbull. Before y'all jump on me for being a pitbull hater hear me out. So when we first started dating I noticed markings all over his face. I asked about them, thinking it was unique coloring. They're scars from multiple dog fights he's been in. BF has assured me over and over again that he wasn't aggressive and they were freak accidents. Ok ok. Fast forward a few months and I like the dog ok. He is whiney and annoying, but not aggressive... until he is. He attacked his roommate's dog, slicing up her lip pretty bad. BF was not there when it happens and assumed roommate was lying about circumstances. Fast forward another month, BF's dog attacks roommates dog again, this time causing the dog to need many stitches. Again, BF assumes roommate somehow triggered his dog. I urge BF to take this issue seriously because this is two bites, increasingly worse, in about a month. In addition, I am growing a little uneasy about being around the dog. I know that there's a difference between dog aggressive and human aggressive, but this dog has a proven track record. I have talked to BF about it, and while he hears me concerns, he is angry that I don't like his dog. We have talked about moving in together and honestly the dog is a huge barrier to this. I think the dog is a threat and a liability. We spend about 50/50 time at one another's houses so I'm with this dog a fair bit, and if we go out of town he always insists on bringing him. Also since the bites, he now asks to bring his dog to my house which makes me uncomfortable because I worry about him biting my dog. How do I approach this situation?!?!?!
TL;DR: BF's pitbull has been biting other dogs and it's making me uneasy. In turn, BF is butthurt I don't love his dog like he does. Not sure what to do.
