PH my h doesn't care for dogs. He keeps saying he didn't want me to get our first dog, but he was actually my boyfriend at the time and payed for half the dog.
I was thinking of getting 3 dogs, but this really needs to be decided by h.
He is of the thinking that the MAN makes all the decisions around here. So I really try to go to h about everything first, even for something as small as the blowdryer today I asked where I should shop and he said I will go with you.
Otherwise in h's mind I am making all the decisions. PH I have learned so much in all of this mess.
Hey glam, It's great that you have learned to take your H's input seriously.
I recently had the opportunity to do so too with my H - when he made 2 suggestions during the boys' visit. I think I finally understand his method of communication. He tends to tell me something he wants by posing it as a suggestion, when he actually feels strongly about it. In the past, I just assumed he was leaving it to me (his words, if taken at face value). Now, I know he means please take my suggestion seriously...
As for the 3 dogs, if your H doesn't want the dogs, I wouldn't get them. It would cause friction between you two - just not worth breaking up a M over. My H hated when we got our 2nd dog. He was afraid that he'd be loved less, which I didn't know at the time....
