Is it worth getting a divorce over?

I have been married for 13 years and my wife has done this in the past but I don't know if I can do it much longer. The situation is she wants to get another dog and I don't. She is now telling me ahe is getting this dog and I have no choice. I am the sole income provider, we have 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. She rarely keeps up with the house stuff and I am constantly picking up after her, the kids and the animals. I have told her that I don't want more right now but maybe when the two dogs go then we can get another one. We have two small dogs and she wants a big [150lbs) dog. I need some advice and hopefully not losing my family over a dog...

@Lanthom,

That's a tough one to my way of thinking. Another dog, and a large one at that, is totally unsuitable to your household, and I would not like being told it is going to happen in spite of your objections. I guess if you can foresee this kind of problem off into the indefinite future, and you're really at your wits end, you might as well get it over with. You know it's going to sound really silly in court if you don't present it just right, but only you can make the decision.

Sorry for the non answer. I don't think a good answer is going to come along.

Who walks the 2 little dogs every day? And who will have time to get the big dog two to three hours really good walk a day.
In between walking dogs, shopping, taking care of kids and doing the houshold there cannot be much time for a normal life.
Insurance for a big dog and vetenarian bills are large, a big dog like that has
often to go to training to learn how to behave.
No, and no to another dog in your family.

@Lanthom,

Then tell her that if she is so hellbent on getting another dog that all of the animals are now her responsibility 100% of the time. As in, she doesn't leave any of them for you or for the kids.

And make sure your kids tell you if she tries to palm off care onto them.

If she is going to act like a child, you might as well treat her like one - or go Roger's route.

@Lanthom,

Take up a hobby with the kids that puts you out if the house so at least you aren't having to take care if all the animals and an adult child.
