Do you want to have your pet/s in your bed?

Ok here it is. My partner and I are living together and that means we’ve blended pets, his two dogs and my one. I don’t let my dog in my bedroom much less up on or in under the bed covers while my partner has never had a problem letting his dogs go wherever they please and he even says he misses the one dog sleeping under the covers with us. This is repulsive to me and I only tolerated it because I chose the man and said so upfront.

Now we’re in negotiations to move into a new house that will be “ours”. I still don’t want the dogs in the bedrooms, not really in the house at all but also know there must be compromise since my partner loves his dogs in a way I don’t love mine. For me, getting into bed is next to sacred, not the place I want the smell of dog ass, dog dirt, dog hair, etc. What to do?
