Hey, I've (23M) been dating my GF Jess (27F) for around 3 months now. She has a dog, and I didn't know till our third date when she mentioned she has a 4-year-old Siberian Husky at her parents' house. For the record, I don't have a problem with dogs, but I am afraid of them after I was attacked by one when I was 12. I told her about my fear of dogs so she'll know, and we won't have a problem in the future and while she seemed bump about how I don't like dogs, she said she was ok and tried to understand how I feel.

Ever since that date, she tried to get me to get over my fear while respecting my boundaries (we watch a lot of airbuds movies) and once she convied met hang up with her friend house because they have a small poodle to make me used to be near dogs which I started to get okay with it. Jump to last Friday, we had a date prepared at my house, and her dog was with her when she came. I was startled because her dog scared the living shit out of me, when she saw my reaction to her dog she put him back at her car and tried to talk with me.

When I was calmer, she said that after the visit to her friend, she believed I could be around dogs better than before, and with how friendly her dog is, she thought it would be a great Idea to bring him over and introduce me to him and get to know him. I said that while I can see how she got to that conclusion, her friend has a small poodle, and she has a giant Siberian Husky and those are the main types of dogs I'm afraid of, and she knows I'm scared of big dogs and I don't think I can trust her after that and said maybe we should take a break for the time been.

She apologized for all this and drove back home with her dog. Well, yesterday I got a bunch of calls from some of her friends saying I was cruel to her, and taking a break is harsh for a little mistake. Now after all that I think maybe I should break it off with her not only because of the incident Friday, but also the whole getting shit on from her friends make it seam like she can't our problems without spreading it to everyone she knows.

So, Am I the asshole for wanting to break up with my GF after she broke my trust and told everyone she know what happend when we were on a break?
