Before we had a yard, I was a SOB for not wanting to take her to go pee and so we got a yard. Now that we have a yard, I still don't give a crap about the dog in his eyes. LOL! It is just crazy. It's okay to buy beer over feeding your child and sit back and get drunk every single day while your woman takes care of the household entirely alone including the child, but I am also a SOB for not paying enough attention to the dog not wanting to pee in her own backyard.

Crazy making I tell you. Your post about the dog just really hit a nerve I guess because my A always seems so concerned about the animals and my relationship with them (????) and he doesn't give a crap about the human relationships in his life. Rather freaking bizarre if you ask me. Nothing about living with an A is normal.

Your posts really resonate with me because I think we are at very similar crossroads in our relationships. Good luck to you!
I think the reason they care about the animals is that they know that animals can't judge them. Animals don't care if you wind up on the street, they figure you'll still take care of them and animals love unconditionally. I see what he gets from caring for the dog, it's very rewarding. I love our dog, luckily he doesn't accuse me of ever doing any wrong to the animal or in regards to how I care for the house. I think he knows I do a good job, he just chooses to isolate himself. That's his choice.
