Jak and Matilda, It looks we're going to keep the puppy. We begin Puppy Socialization classes tonight. I think the puppy, after some work will add positives to the household. My W is committed to this, so I will support it.
After some drama, her sister is going to back out and let us raise the puppy on our terms. We've started a relationship with a dog trainer, and begin classes tonight.
I'm making more of an effort to cuddle with my W, when sleeping together. I don't think we're ready for sex. It's clear that she wants me in the bedroom, and is insulted if I sleep in the guest room.
I'm hoping the puppy will create joint recreational outings for my W and I, such as walks around the neighborhood, or to a local park.
