Azzork, exactly! They don't have dogs, so they don't understand. I didn't understand either until I had a dog, so I suppose I cant blame them too much.

I sent an email saying he went back on his word, and he wrote back saying the dog is his and its non negotiable. It's almost funny how childish this argument is.

I wrote another one, first saying that means we have to go to court for a contested divorce. Then I wrote one urging we see a pet mediator, but to first take a week to cool off. Neither one of us really has the money for a contested divorce.

On the other hand, if he was really happy with his girlfriend, wouldn't he have better things to do than try to hurt me? I would probably think "sure, spend time with the damn dog, I have this incredible human to spend the weekend with instead."

Pretty sure I now know what people mean when they say they could never take thier spouse back after seeing how they act during a divorce.
