because you obviously don't want to D BB for a number of reasons It’s not that I won’t, just can’t/don’t see the low conflict, the pets, and her pickiness as bonified reasons for a clear-cut reasons for a D.
Also, like many on the forum, I think there are ways to improve things “IF.” I am still looking for some “IF’s.”
Personally, I adore my dogs, I don’t dislike BB’s dogs. I actually like them and spoil them some. It’s the fact they come before other things and people many times.
Eventually dogs die (sorry, but that's life, or lack thereof) what is she going to do then? I would hope you won't agree to her getting more of the little suckers LOL, more dogs were in her plan for the last 15 years. She even subscribes to the idea that any man that put himself before a dog, well the man goes.
BB had 13 pets. It took almost 7 years to get that number down to 7. Now she said maybe 2 or 4 pets will be about right. One of her friends was going to cancel a trip to Washing DC because he didn’t want to leave his 1 cat with at a kennel. BB said she understood and feels the same way sometimes.
H is already planning on it but I am trying to discourage him from thinking about it right now. would like at least some time (a year or two minimum) U2? Same here, just switch H for W in your post.
BB even talks about some day if we need to move to a retirement living building, she wants a dog.
not to mention the expense Yup, Over $300 last month for the pack and just spent $180 for “doggie joint care” pills that will last 6 months for the one 7yr old dog, and mini surgery next month for a lump that is on one of her twin Scotties. The other twin has a toenail fungus and $100 meds to treat that condition. Then there are the special treats so the dogs take their pills.
