Miss my dog

Our dog was gifted by ex’s family. I took care of her each and every day for 3 years! We used to go for long drives to friends houses, long walks, trekking etc. Was a part of my life, part of every picture I took, part of all my activities! We did not register her together(just her name as I never imagined such situation would ever come). My ex got the dog and then she gave her away for adoption! That news teared me apart. Cried for 3-4 days. After 8 months still did not cope from that! Life is so unfair for some people but we still have to live it out.

Let it go. Start the new chapter. Feel blessed if you don't have children. I know how you feel. My ex rescued a good boy and I took care of him. He had a rough life before she did. He only had a couple years left in him but I made sure he was loved, till she wanted him back. He passed recently from his medical issues after a few months with her. I made sure to give him some love whenever I picked up my kid because I could see he was going downhill quick. I feel for you man, but the longer you hold on the longer it eats at you. I've got a bunny now...not even close to the same companionship as a dog lol Consider visiting your local shelter and fostering for a few months if you can.

Channel hate towards her. She is a bitch if she won’t share the dog. Don’t eve do her any favors.

Mine went the opposite extreme. We adopted a five year old med size dog from the local nokill shelter, eleven years ago. He quickly became part of the family, helped raise our kid, just a great dog all around. When she walked out 2 years ago, that was that. I dated her like a fool off and on (along with others apparently) she never brought him up. Never said she missed him or asked about him, nothing. I would send pictures but it was, meh thanks. About six months ago, with 'off' moving towards divorce I got mad in text and said "get a dog" as an insult in the vein of cat lady. She had she said two weeks before. So I take solace that the person who never fed the dog unless I was traveling now has to go walk one every time it needs to go. She got a big one too, so great for a no fenced yard in the city. And it's a cock blocker, lol .. hours and weekends away? Not so easy she's learned. But she loves this NEW one so so much. I tell my dog, I know just how he feels.

My ex basically assumed the animals were hers, dog and 2 cats. I'm not a cat person, so I didn't mind that, but our dog loved me and the marital home I kept has 5 acres and she loved to explore the yard and run through the woods. Her new place has a small fenced in yard. Best part is when my ex came to get the animals, I was in my bedroom and she came and went. Didn't even ask if I wanted to say goodbye to the dog.

Politely and respectfully tell her how much you miss the dog. A woman is a human programmed by nature just like you to respond to other people's emotions. If she is not a tree, and if you can articulate your feelings decently, she might allow you to spend some time with the dog on a regular basis.

Dogs are like women. Easy to replace.

Time to grow up my man. Dogs come and go, that is life. Just get a new dog and you'll be over it in a few weeks.
