Any advice on how to handle H's request/demand that he still visit and see our other dog on a regular basis? Am conflicted internally as I know that this interaction will be the only interaction in person we have (outside of divorce and asset division stuff).

One of the issues I need to get past with him is that while he is gone for work during the week and off training for ultra races during the weekend, the burden has fallen on me to take care of the household and dogs. If I agree to his request I feel like he still gets to have the best of both worlds... i.e. do his own thing and when it fits into his schedule, come see the dog while I continue to do all the day to day work. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about taking care of the dog, just frustrated as to why it would be ok for H to 'share custody per say' of the dog without any of the daily responsibilities.

Do I just let it go for now and let him do as he pleases and visit with the dog when he can fit it into his life?
