Totally agree with everything you said, it was more a case of me venting than anything else with regard to the puppies having any accidents while training and her immediate negative reaction.
Love the little guys and know, in the long term, they will be happier and healthier with me than with someone who has completely changed their perspective (MLC) in less than 12 months.
We have a younger son who is an explosive child and the puppies provide a stabilizing source of unceasing love when he is struggling (or old dog used to do the same before we knew what an explosive child was). Often times, they are the only thing he can anchor to during the bad times.
Choices is a great way to look at it. They have to be my choices, not our choices, and that is a difficult thing to accept after 17 years of marriage.
DBing is WAY more difficult than I ever thought. The constant changing (mostly negative) is almost impossible to believe. Ever decreasing interactions are also very surprising when, at the very least, you would expect her to want to co-parent. I know now that it is "to be expected" but wow, so different.
