If I could give you any advice it would be to trust the process and grieve the loss of your marriage and know that the dark times do not last forever.
If the pup means that much to you then treat it like it is a child and get some sort of shred custody.
Steve doesn't always use the best analogies but he means well.
As I wrote earlier I had asked for shared custody a year ago.... but its a difficult thing to navigate and agreeing to let me pet sit when he was out of town was that compromise.
I'm doing my best to get through this mess. I have good days and bad and yesterday was a SH*TBAG of problems that just snowballed. Any one particular one would have been fine. 8 at the same time was a trainwreck.
I've already got someone trying to be a knight in shining armour and wants to come by the house to help with things... I'm just not ready to have someone like that at my house. He knows I'm only wanting friendship and I'm in no position to be dating right now.... He hopes by hanging around he gets to be in the number one position when I am ready to date... MAKES ME FEEL AWKWARD.
Taking a deep breath and just going back into my house to hide.
