When I moved in with my boyfriend 2 years ago he told me that he doesn't like cats, which I already knew, and that we won't be getting one, which I said was fine as long as he doesn't get a dog, which he agreed with. Now, I really, really want a cat, have been for some months and this longing won't go away and I know it never will, and I've tried to talk to him, explain my feelings to him but he's adamant. A friend of mine recently had a cat give birth and one of the kittens is so beautiful, my friend said I can have her for free but my boyfriend is adamant and said that I agreed to this but I feel that if he cared enough about me he'd relent on this one little thing, but he won't If I just get it while he's out, can he really stop me? Should I do this?

Compromise is the key to any good relationship.

Why would you ever want to live with someone who doesn't want a cat?

Unless the cat is mean it is impossible he Willa continue to hate for nothing

You're definitely not ready to be in a relationship

Don't do it. He will hurt the cat. Move out and get your own place and your own kitten.

Well I would never date someone that isn’t okay with me having cats or dogs

So, you would now be ok with him getting a dog then?

If he this way with a cat think what he would be like a baby

You made him a promise. End of story.

Sounds like you two shouldn't be together.
