I need a good kick me in the ass talking to. Fiance of 6 years left me about a month and a half ago. When she left me, I didn't react whatsoever. My friends told me she was trashing me on social media, I didn't respond. She tried to move out very slowly to twist the knife, a buddy of mine packed all her shit up and got her out and I've been radio silence since. She's tried contacting me, small talk via text and I blocked her number. Personally I feel great, I'm feeling more confident than I ever have, getting more dates than I ever have and I'm just so happy to not have her in my life anymore. All my other exes have always come back after hard nexting, whether it was to fuck with me or beg for me back but I've never taken the bait. I'm emotionally prepared for eventually when she does (maybe she won't, who cares?) but I have a thorn in my side.

Since I didn't give her the validation of seeing me react when she was fishing for it, I'm sure she harbors some resentment. We did get a dog, and since I work from home he's way more attached to me. I miss that guy, he was my partner in crime. I'm the one who took him on walks, fed him, hung out. She never did. But she took him.

I'm feeling weak as shit. All my moral fibers are telling me no, but I want to ask for the dog. Knowing she resents me, especially after how I was just trying to move on and erase her from my life after the fact. Asking for the dog would be needy and give her something to hold over my head. It sucks that I know better, but this temptation is eating me alive, because I know he's not happy. Please, keep it 100, at a low point. thanks in advance
