When I say fake, for me at least, it would be mutually agreed upon. Like to the outside world it will look like a real relationship but the people in the relationship know that is not the case. For example, I would be ok with nothing more than a platonic partner using me around their family/friends saying we’re dating so that they stops trying to set them up with random people.
Honestly if a person's family or friends are trying to set them up and they don't want it I would wish that person would just tell him to butt out and get the fuck out of their relationship because they don't need help and if they're too scared to do that and they said all this shit to have a fake relationship then something is seriously mentally wrong with them.

That’s just one example, it’s not even that great of one honestly ?. Maybe someone just wants my companionship and company. I would be perfectly fine with being in an open relationship because obviously I’m not gonna fulfill any of their sexual needs so I wouldn’t have a problem with them getting those needs met elsewhere. Also, when I say settle in a relationship, relationships don’t have to be sexual or even intimate, I would never settle for a sexual relationship. If I’m not into you sexually, then I’m not into you sexually, and no dog, or promise of dogs is going to change that. It could even be something like if you live with me to help me pay rent/mortgage you can be with my pet or if you work as a live-in maid, you can be with my pet or I’ll get a pet for you. Literally any kind of relationship. And I think I would be willing to settle for pretty much anything other than a sexual relationship.

A fake relationship just so you could be with their animals sounds like a very shitty thing to do to a person. If you can't be with the person for who they are and you just want their animals then don't be with that person.
For some reason lots of people here assume that the other human in the relationship is being lied to or the relationship is fake.
It is not. The OP has said several times that it would be clear to the partner what this is. And if both the humans agree to be in this kind of a relationship where they are not sexual or in love with each other but only with their animals, it is fine and there is nothing fake or deceiving about it.
It is like being room mates while you have the permission to have sex with your friend's dog.
 
For me, getting my own dog is simple (especially because I have my own place) so it doesn't make much sense to take on the tremendous burden of living with another person just to gain access to their dog. I also don't really understand how a relationship with a dog I haven't raised myself, a dog who likely has a stronger attachment to another person than me, could ever compare to a relationship with my own dog.
 
It seems like everyone who reads the original post assumes that the scenario involves not being honest with the human about the relationship. I'm not sure why that is, but maybe it would help if the original post were edited to be a little more explicit about the idea that this doesn't involve any deceit? Seems like not many people will read the whole thread.

Yeah, I feel like that’s something you actually have to experience to maybe understand. I have experienced it and I don’t even fully understand it. I’ve been with someone else’s dog and fallen in love with him. And I loved him more than any dog that I’ve ever owned. And it seemed like he loved me more than any dog I’ve ever been around as well, he loved me more than anything, or anyone else, including his owners. He would even get depressed when I had to leave. They had I think 7 other dogs at the time, so he was just another one of their dogs to them, but he was my favorite. I only learned after they put him down that they would have given him to me if I had asked but I didn’t feel it was my place.

I actually wanted to do that but the post got to old, and I didn’t wanna have to go through the trouble of figuring out how to edit it lol.
 
I really dont think I could ever do that to a person. That's way to heavy on my conscience and I'm just lazy like that.
It doesn’t have to be a secret. I wouldn’t keep it a secret in my case. I would make it clear that nothing sexual will ever happen between us, but if they wanted to use me for companionship or whatever else, I would likely settle for that.

No I got that part of it. I just couldn't do that to a person regardless. I dunno to me it's just not right and it doesn't make much good sense to me.
 
Hell No. I would rather throw myself in front of a train than pretend to be someone I'm not. I'd sooner just take the dog and run than waste time pretending to like someone I don't. Not that I would do that either but you get the point im sure

So curious question from me. What if you have a partner that has no interest in partaking but fully supports you but you as a couple have a happy, healthy sex life?

You don’t necessarily have to pretend. Hell it could even be a working relationship maybe it’s someone that you don’t necessarily enjoy being around but in exchange for work, animal related or not, instead of paying you money, they give you permission to be with their animals. As another example.

I may express interest in it if I trusted someone enough, but I personally would never open up about being active unless I saw proof that they were also active. So I would keep my activities secret from my human partner if they don’t partake. I don’t expect anyone to be into everything that I’m into though so just because they don’t participate doesn’t make it a dealbreaker, but as I said, activity would be kept secret. I wouldn’t want to share my animal partner anyway so it wouldn’t really bother me. Although, now that I think about it, the only way I might consider sharing an animal partner would be with a human partner that I’m sexually active with. I don’t expect to ever get to that point though, I’m not looking, and I’m perfectly content with just being with dogs or even alone, so it would be a pleasant surprise if it ever happened.

What sort of fantasy world do you be living in? ? Are you suggesting that I exchange services with someone for sex with their animals? ? Work for alone time with Fiddo instead of cash. In what reality would a normal person agree to that?? Lmao. Even just saying outloud "don't pay me for helping I just wanna chill with your dog instead for a few hours" sounds strange: 9 out of 10 people would disagree to that because it's a weird thing to ask for over money. Especially in spite of being offered money. In a world where money is everything to most people. Tbh, physical labor in exchange for alone time with animals is even more cringe worthy than the idea of being in a romantic/sexual relationship with a 2 legger. Even more cringe worthy than settling in any form of relationship with another person to gain access to their pets, hence the subject of this thread. I voted no. I have my own animals and it would still remain no if I didn't. Why? Because when I was young and dumb I fell in love with someone else's dog and it led to a lot of emotional pain cause we couldn't ever truly be together. To the point I refuse to blindly love to that much of an extent again. It also caused a ton of tension and jealousy in the friendship I had with his owner on both sides because said dog was drawn to me more than him and I wanted someone that wasn't actually mine. Trust me you shouldn't even suggest anyone go down a road that leads to temporary happiness followed by separation and heartbreak. I know your reply was theoretical but dang man I'm not that desperate regardless of if Im currently sexually active or not ?

Lol yeah, I purposely gave an extreme example of one of the many different kinds of relationships you can settle in. I hear what you’re saying though. Although I have offered to care for someone’s pet(s) for extremely low cost and often stay much longer than needed. I’m sure I’ve probably charged $20 for 36 hours of pet care before, still not technically free but at almost .50/hr that’s close enough, although I know it’s still not the same. Not in a sexual way I just enjoy the company of animals, and I’ve said on numerous occasions I would do what I do for free if I didn’t need money. My first love (and first time) was with someone else’s dog, the relationship only lasted about six months though because he developed a rare non-related disease that by the time they figured out what it was it had developed too much and they ended up putting him down. I guess I was lucky though, because I was able to visit pretty much anytime and he clearly loved me more than anyone else. They even acknowledged that, jokingly referring to me as his boyfriend. They also said after he was gone that if I would have asked they probably would have given him to me. They saw how much he loved me and knew he would’ve probably been happier with me. They had 7 other dogs and he was the newest addition, a foster fail, he died less than a week before his second gotcha day at only 2 years old. I think that was the first time and definitely the most I’ve ever been depressed. I just laid in bed and cried for like a week or so straight, didn’t work for almost half a month, it would’ve been longer if it could’ve. I don’t think I’ve ever been truly happy since his death.
 
No way. That's as creepy as someone dating a person just so they can get close to her kids.

I tell people all the time. Go work your ass off for 30 years get your own place and make your own reality. I didn't get my first car until I was 27 didn't get a dog until I was 30. But you know what ... I got everything I've ever wanted because I worked my ass off for it. Boohoo you "can't afford it"
 
No, I would not feel right about doing something like that to someone, feel like that would be hella using someone and to me that would be morally wrong. I wouldn't like someone to lead me on just to get with my lover like that so I wouldn't do that to anyone. I would however try to spend much time as possible with them but not under any guise of a relationship.

It doesn’t have to be a secret, I would settle only with the understanding that nothing sexual would ever happen between us.
 
As adamant as I was about my answer earlier I realized I've done this before. It wasn't a person I was dating. It was a guy I befriended for the sole reason of being bred by his dog.

The dude was nuts and on meth every day. If he hadn't had the dog I would have never even said hi.
 
No. Not because I don’t like humans, I very much do, but because that’s deceitful af
It doesn’t have to be a secret though. I would make it clear from the beginning that nothing sexual would ever happen between us. If they wanted to use me for some thing else though, weather it just be, as a mask, companionship, for work, or anything else non-sexual I would probably settle for that.

So what if your human relationship was more like friends with benifits, he supported you 100%, if it were me i would make sure you had as many doggy lovers as you desired, however in my case i would find it extremely hard not to want to sexy fun occasionally as well, not with the dogs but with you once the dogs were finished. Would that be a deal breaker?

If I’m not into you sexually then I’m not into sexually and nothing apart from you changing yourself to fit my criteria could change that to the point where we would have sex. And I would never ask someone change themselves for me, now if they wanted to that’s up to them. So yes, that would be a dealbreaker. Now on the off chance that I am into sexually but you don’t feel the same way about me and just want to use me for sex, I would probably settle for that.

Sounds more than fair to me ?
