Online Community Lectures An Asthmatic Woman Who's Too Passive In Handling Her Roommate After She Brought A Dog Despite Her Dog Allergy
Some people allergic to dogs can live normal lives even with a pet canine at home. But if the allergy is severe, living with one is out of the question.
Allergies can be quite tricky, and it really depends on the individual's sensitivity. For those with milder allergies, there are ways to make it work.
Regular cleaning, using air purifiers, and keeping the dog well-groomed can all help reduce allergens in the home. However, if the allergy is severe, it's important to prioritize your health and consider alternative pets or explore hypoallergenic dog breeds if you can't imagine life without a furry companion.
Today's story is about a woman who suffers from allergies and asthma to pets. According to the original poster, who shared her story on the Relationships subreddit, her dog allergies weren't severe in the past.
Still, she asked her roommate to not take a dog home since she's allergic and it's against the property policies. Unfortunately, this person didn't listen and brought home a dog anyway.
Her allergy has escalated, which can eventually lead to death. But the OP isn't doing anything about it as she seemingly isn't keen on confronting her roommate.
She's been taking tons of meds just to control the symptoms. And this roommate needs to go before things get worse for her.
In the end, the OP asked the community about how to confront this problem.
The OP is allergic to dogs. But her roommate seems unconcerned and brought a dog home, anyway.

She knows she needs to confront her roommate about the dog for the sake of her health.
But she's not the confrontational type, so she ends up enduring even if it means taking loads of medicine.
The OP asks for advice on how to deal with her roommate and the dog.
The OP needs to stand her ground against her roommate. She can't just continue on living like a doormat.
She's worrying about the wrong thing. The OP should prioritize her health above keeping the peace.
If she continues being passive about it, she might end up dying one day.
The OP needs to get the landlord involved.
She can collect some evidences and present her medical records so the landlord will do something about it.
Wrong priorities OP!
She needs to get the higher ups involved at this point. Her health is on the line, after all.
The OP shouldn't take her condition lightly any longer.
She needs to do something about this quickly. Things can't go on with her worsening condition.
The OP needs to grow a backbone and confront the roommate. Because who knows what'll happen to her condition if she allows this further?
Since her roommate is breaking the rules, she needs to be evicted soon. At this point, she needs to involve the landlord as well as the bosses in the company that provides them with the housing.
The OP shouldn't wait for her condition to worsen. She needs to act fast — or she'll end up dying.
