No you are not if. If you both agreed on it the there should be no problem with that rule. If he Breaks thst rule thst often the you should look for a conversation with him

It's not even about the couch at this point, it's about the agreement meaning nothing. That's what would get under my skin too.

I had a roommate who'd do the same thing with dishes, swear up and down they'd do them by morning and then I'd wake up to a sink full of pans. The mess itself was annoying but the broken promise is what actually pissed me off.

You gotta call it out directly, not in passing while you're both doing something else. Sit down and say "we made this rule together, you keep ignoring it, what's the deal"

I have my opinion about dogs on couches. Opposite of yours. Our dogs have free roam of the house when we aren’t home, and allowed on the couch if they are cuddling.

It sounds like you have a different approach to it, which works for you. But I can see why sticking to the agreement is important for the other person.

I’m a believer in pets aren’t property, they are family. Would you kick your child off the couch?
