I(22female) have a collie while my SO Shaun(24male) has one cat. A rule we made before we moved in together is that if we ban each other’s pet from going somewhere or doing something for valid reasons then we can’t try to be “fair” and punish the other innocent pet.

This has happened many times to my dog any sometimes to his cat and we never broke the rule.

So this current issue has to do with his cat. At night we normally allow each other’s pets to be in the room with us but never allowed on the bed. The cat constantly gets on the bed at night and sits on me or in my face. Hate it.

I have work early in the morning and I get absolutely zero sleep when the cat does this. Shaun is a deep sleeper so he doesn’t mind.

Not to mention the noise the cat makes at night. Literally running around the room. Yesterday I said his cat wasn’t allowed in our room at night because I need sleep and I don’t want his cat to be sitting on me or in my face much less even on the bed.

We tried to stop it but nothing ever worked.

My dog never gets on the bed and sleeps throughout the entire night. Despite our rule Shaun decided it was unfair to ban his cat from the room at night but not my dog. I told him I need sleep at night and his cat disturbs that but not my dog.

He still upset but I ain’t budging. That was our rule. The cat will be fine not being allowed in our room at night. So AITA?

Edit: I know y’all think that the cat will be screaming outside our bedroom door, but the cat will not be doing that. The cat has been outside the door before as well as my dog. My dog wasn’t fine with It, but the cat was chilling the whole time In a different area.
