A month ago my fiancée told me she didn't want to get married anymore.  We had been together for 3 years and engaged for 5 months with the wedding planned for August.  Of course I was devasted but we ended on good terms and later after talking through her thoughts on things I saw her point.  We always supported and loved each other but our interests and passions couldn't be more different.  We'll both be happier in the long run this way.

Now for the AITA question, who should keep the dog?  She's moving back in with her parents who are retired, who will be home all day, so even while she's at work he'll have company.  They have a big backyard in the suburbs and have had dogs before and know how to care for them.  I live in the city in a ground floor condo with a small back and front patio, but have two large off leash dog parks nearby.  Both of us work, but I generally have longer hours than her, so I am gone from 7:30-5.

She's saying having a dog is too much work for one person and he could instead be home all day with people.  She's also saying I'm putting my own interests above what's best for him (hence the asshole). My plan is to walk him for an hour in the morning at the dog park, have a dog walk walker come in at lunch and then take him to the dog park after work again.  I'm fully willing to make this commitment for his whole life. I also love the outdoors and camping, and would be taking him with me all the time on weekends.  He loves the woods and camping, but that's something she has no interest in, so he wouldnt have any experiences like that anymore.

We're sharing custody right now until we figure it out but that's not a solution we want long term.  AITA for wanting to keep the dog even though he could be living in a house with a big backyard?
