Good for you, 1210. You told him what is important to you and that you want it respected. He apologized but had to get a "Ya but" in anyway. What does it matter whether you put so much emotion into your animals? Is he jealous? How does it make his life less free because you care for your animals? Hey, if you are depressed and grieving for months and unable to do anything else, well, then he might have a grievance but otherwise...grow up, pal! My W has always loved dance and I had no affinity for it at all but I never missed one of her performances and always respected her love for dance, I felt it made her a happy, excited person whether I shared that love or not (as you know, I've started dancing with her now! Things change). Just because he does not share your love for animals doesn't make you wrong! I dunno maybe I'm overreacting here but it pisses me off too 1210! Be careful.
You are absolutely right. He had two German Shepards at his house when we dated...he fed them, but never spent any quality time with them...he just doesn't like cats. I told him, I prefer cats b/c they are like me - independent and have lots of love, but if you ignore them, they will find someone else to love...that went over big...like, in a big hesitation...
So, yes, it's my ball game, I have my life and am quite content, so, if he feels that he won't meet me halfway - well, there's the door, don't let it hit your a** on the way out...
The little woman knows too much now...before, she didn't know enough...I could write a book...yes, I'm in control...
They love you but they keep you on your toes because you are not quite "100% sure" why they love you !
When they greet you at the door and flick the tail.. well.. and rub your shoes with their feet... Is it love or are they just marking you as theirs ? Maybe a bit of both ?
1210, what the heck is going on with Sol's W? She's going away with OM? Did you know about this, I was kind of taken by surprise. Got any thoughts for old Sol?
I buy cases of pet food every two weeks from PetsMart, they have my business...the dry stuff, they eat from a Le Gourmet food container that fills itself when they eat. I don't use a can opener, they have flip tops. My kids eat well...
Yes...I'll have to think of something funny for Ben's post.
Yes, I knew about the OM going on the trip with his wife. I think she's bringing him along for company...remember, he stopped the A, but, I do feel that she's not quite ready to see it end...that's why Sol needs to keep cool.......
Hey 1210, will I see you at Disney World next Christmas? You can meet my W and give her a big hug! Sorry, AT but Akron was second on her must see list!
