Okay, I haven't responded yet because i've been thinking about this. I feel there are 2 possibilities here. 1. he is a control freak & wants things his way at all times. In my opinion you shouldn't be up with that. It's your dog in your house & you should be able to let her act however, you want her to act. If you both agree her behaviour is annoying then you can do steps to remedy that. However, if you like her on your bed & like her cuddling with you then you should be able to allow your dog to do those things in your house. Im sure you don't go to his house & tell him to put the toilet seat down or pick up his underwear.
2. He might be insecure & afraid of getting hurt. Do you know his dating history? I tried to do this. When someone would start to get close to me I would pick fights to push them away because I had been hurt really bad. When I tried this with my husband (before we were married) he flat out said, don't try that s*** with me I'm not going anywhere. If this is his issue then try & put his mind at ease that you aren't going anywhere.
However, from what you have told us I believe it is the other thing. He is old school big dog. Dogs shouldn't be on beds, in your lap, giving face kisses, ect ect ect. This is your dog & your house & you can treat it as you like & you shouldn't apologize for that. If a guy truely likes you he will accept things like this because they make you happy. Since he doesn't seem to be accepting I would let this one go & wait for someone you & your dog can be yourselfs around.
