Really? No, I don't see how this was unilateral.

Then she brought home a dog that was getting put down as it was uncontrollable according to its owner. That was ok as it was a nice little dog and we soon had it sorted. Next she brought home two kittens whos mother died. She was to hand rer them then give them to the local pet store, all good to my thinking. When it came time to give them to the store she couldn't part with them. After much debate and her crying and going a bit crazy on me, I gave in and she/we kept the kittens.
So, she might not have asked him beforehand, and she might cry etc. I'm certainly not saying her communication style is optimal! But as I see it, they did talk about it and he repeatedly agreed.

And now he resents her because he agreed? IMO: his problem.

Edit1: Marcus1968, sorry for talking about you in the third person.

Edit2: I wasn't talking about the OP, btw, I was replying to Alexjstrandberg's advice.
