Alright ladies I’m in a tough spot and I don’t know if I’m wrong.

So I was with my boyfriend, his brother, and his brother’s girlfriend and we were going to go check out a climbing gym (we weren’t going to climb we just wanted to check it out because we heard it was cool). Along the way we saw a puppy in the middle of an abandoned lot limping. He looked to be about up to my knee and I’m 5’. I asked his brother to let me out so I could help it and the brother and his gf jumped on me saying “no you’re not doing that absolutely not.” I was upset about this but I figured hey if he doesn’t want to stop and wait then that’s his choice, but then he parked about a quarter mile from the puppy and we were there. At that point I was pissed off because he could’ve just dropped me off. He rushed inside so I couldn’t address it with him then but I asked my boyfriend to walk back with me (I didn’t want to deal with the situation alone in case there was a protective mama pup around) and he said no it’s too far and he didn’t want his brother to fuss about driving back to get us. At this point I was livid. The girlfriend had even just said that morning that it was sad how people that didn’t want their gifted puppies just abandon them after Christmas and here we were not stopping for this puppy. We get done and are on the way back and I lost it. I told them next time that they were going to let me out and they could go ahead without me and that they had no right to talk to me like I was a child and that I won’t deal with it. Side note: they’ve been on my case condescending me for the last four days and I’m guessing that played a part in my explosion. I didn’t know until after my boyfriend talked to me but apparently I raised my voice. I was so upset that I didn’t realize I had yelled. We get about a mile from the house and his brother pulled over. He said “I’m driving the car so I say who gets in and out and when and I don’t care what you want to do.” I told him that if I want out of the car that he has no right to keep driving. He told me to get out. My boyfriend and I got out and he sped off before I had a chance to even step back from the car. At this point I tell my boyfriend that I realize I shouldn’t have yelled but I stand by my statement.

Some backstory: His brother has screamed very hurtful things in my face more times than I have fingers and he never gets scolded for it because in high school he struggled with depression (he’s been good for years now) and no one wants to set him on a spiral.

I tried to apologize for yelling but his brother wouldn’t listen. Also it should be know that I had no intent of putting the dog in the car I just wanted to go and see what kind of dog was it, did it need immediate assistance, did it have tags, etc. then I wanted to call the nearby no kill shelter to pick it up and hopefully have time to wait for them. If they were done before me I was going to just tie it up with some rope I had brought in my camping gear to be sure it didn’t wander off before they came.

I got back to the house (where I get reception) and called the shelter. They told me that someone from the gym found him and that he had a broken leg but they brought him to the shelter.
