My wife told the kids on Friday she wants to buy them a puppy. So now we are dog hunting. We are separated and going to now bring a puppy into our lives. Go figure. (Hey maybe a dog will save our marriage. At least I'll have someone to share the doghouse im in with.)
Crw613,
My wife (now ex-wife) did something similar. We went to the animal shelter and she found a dog she wanted. We discussed getting the dog. (I was temp-checking as well, but I didn't really realize it at the time. You know, if I get a dog will she stay?) I told her that given the circumstances we probably shouldn't get the dog. We had a dog and a ferret already, so I didn't want to grow the family if we were going to separate. Ultimately, the dog and the ferret stayed with me and that's a good thing.
I don't know why they do those sorts of things, but it seems almost as if it's one last "tease" to see if they can get you to do want they want you to do. I don't know.
