Go to AITAH r/AITAH • 1y ago puppy_lve AITAH for “training” a guy “like a dog”? I (23F) have recently started seeing this guy (26M). he’s super pretty, but he’s kind of emotionally unavailable and he’s alluded to an unstable/ unhealthy childhood. for context, i also work w socializing abused and neglected dogs at a local shelter and i think how much time i spend w the dogs is impacting the way i interact w ppl. when we were on a date i started subconsciously making mental notes abt him like the notes id make abt a dog. for example, i noticed when we went out to dinner i noticed he ate really quickly and was very anti-sharing (resource guarding) but when i offered to pay and suggested dessert it seemed to make him really happy and a little calmer (food-motivated); he’s really particular about his car (territorial/ crate aggression); he likes when i pick where we go/ what we do (eager to please), etc. so, ive started using the tactics id use on a dog w similar problems. recently a friend (22F) pointed out that it’s weird that i keep peanut M&Ms on me w the specific purpose of offering the guy one when i see him, and offering them again whenever i can tell he feels vulnerable. she said that im being an asshole bc he’s a person, not a dog so i shouldn’t be “training him like one.” i don’t think that’s fair, im not trying to control him or anything, i just want him to feel comfortable w me the same way i need the animals im helping to be comfortable w me. humans and animals aren’t THAT diff after all, we all just want to feel safe and cared for. the guy hasn’t noticed yet as far as i can tell. the problem is, my “technique” is yielding really positive results. AITAH? should i stop?
Auri (au ra/miqo'te, they/them) being held by Zenos (garlean/any) in the middle of a wooded clearing under a starry sky. Auri's gently cupping Zenos' face with their hands and a calm, loving expression on their face, Zenos looks up at Auri with a softened, flat expression as he holds them.

Traditional bust of Auri (they/them) dressed in a formal purple vest with floral patterns, a ruffled white undershirt and a bright red brooch; they're looking to the camera with a flat expression.
Lyrics to NFWMB from Hozier "When I first saw you The end was soon To Bethlehem it slouched And then it must've caught a good look at you Give your heart and soul to charity 'Cause the rest of you The best of you Honey, belongs to me Ain't it a gentle sound, the rollin' in the graves? Ain't it like thunder under earth, the sound it makes? Ain't it exciting you, the rumble where you lay? Ain't you my baby? ain't you my baby? Nothing fucks with my baby Nothing can get a look in on my baby Nothing fucks with my baby Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing If I was born as a blackthorn tree I'd wanna be felled by you Held by you Fuel the pyre of your enemies Ain't it warming you, the world gone up in flames? Ain't it the life you, you're lighting of the blaze? Ain't it a waste they'd watch the throwing of the shade? Ain't you my baby? ain't you my babe?"

Drawing of Auri (au ra/miqo'te, they/them) from behind, they're looking off to the side. Their left shoulder has a large, deep scar that tapers at their shoulderblade, with a smaller scar on their lower left shoulder. Their scales are more leathery spots that dot their back down to the tail.
