Yeah. I have an arrangement with my W about our dog as well. She comes by at fixed times when I am out, twice a week, to spend time with the dog and take her out for a walk.

When she was living in the house and I was the one on the outside, she let me do the same thing. It was important to me and I think it is important to her as well. It's really not much skin off of my nose because I don't need to interact with her or do anything special - we scheduled it for times when I am out GALing anyway. She also uses that time to pick up any mail that has come for her and to leave me any money for the few bills we still share. At least in my sitch, if I tried to prevent her from doing that, it would definitely seem punitive and/or controlling. A giant "F you" for leaving. As satisfying as that might be in the moment, I think in the long run it is counterproductive.
