Walk Away Wife - My Sitch

[mako]

I understand this. We got a dog last year...my wife had pushed for one for a while, I was never sure. Eventually I came around, and it's been great. So she's the one that wanted the dog, but now I'm the one that will keep her.

I've also felt at times she loves the dog more than me--even before this happened, she'd always tell the dog how much she loved her and give the dog hugs, I'd think why don't you try that with me more often? (yeah, I should have expressed this or initiated something myself, but that was in my emotionally closed hide my feelings state). Now, she still treats the dog the same and it feels even worse to see her give love to the animal and not me...sometimes I just wish I was the dog

Anyway, I am keeping the dog cause she likes me more and I can take better care of her due to work situations, plus I really like having her. I agree that it is great for support...these are hard times, and this little creature gives me unconditional love, that's a nice feeling even if it isn't human contact. She also sleeps in my bed, so at least I'm not totally alone at night.
