Dog Cassa: He is getting a dog. I don't know why this pisses me off. Oh, wait. Yes I do.
The reason I wanted a home was so we could get a dog. For every occasion (birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day) when he asked what I wanted I said "a puppy". Sometimes when he asked what I wanted for breakfast I'd say "a puppy". The house had tile instead of hardwood so it couldn't be marked up by dog claws, the yard was designed for a dog, and the garage had a dog door built into it during construction.
It's pretty clear I wanted a dog but he spent several years denying me that opportunity. Now that I am gone he is doing it for himself. Charming.
I'm fuming. I don't want to be, but I am. I'm sitting in my office holding back tears of rage. I could spit nails I'm so mad. Some reasonable part of my mind is saying this isn't rational, but that doesn't change how mad I am.
Every once in a while I see so clearly how he controlled me and the fact that he did it for no apparent reason. Just like when he forbid me to get a sport bike all those years and is now talking about getting one for himself. It makes me so mad. I don't know if I'm mad because he was inconsiderate, or because I didn't stand up for myself better.
The other thing that pisses me off is that he would never come home during shifts to see me and he would always leave at least an hour early and be home at least an hour late. How the hell is his puppy going to cope with no one around for 14 hours? Oh, wait. I bet he'll magically find it isn't all that difficult to stop at home during a shift.
He said "I hope Diesel warms up to my dog." He should insist on training the dog to get along with the cat first and foremost, but no.I t's like Diesel doesn't matter and if she doesn't get along with the dog he doesn't care. Yup. That's the cat that I begged to get in the beginning. That't the cat who fell out a 10th story window and he was going to snap her neck until he saw the look on my face. That's also the cat he denied me - apparently so he could pawn her off on other people (i.e. his mistress) then disregard her.
%*&@!
Re: Dog whatnext: Weirdly I know just how you feel -- my father promised me a dog for my entire childhood and then when I was grown bought one for his new family and sons.
Lovely -- like, I wasn't good enough? Or what?
I never walked that damn dog once. They got it too fat and it died early of a stroke.
Re: Dog Kermie: Not sure if I'm right on this or not, but it sounds like he is trying to lure you back in. Buy all the stuff you always wanted so you will come to him to get it. If he is as controlling as you say this may be his motives. Let him get what ever he wants if he is getting it to piss you off he is just wasting his money. Don't even give him the satisfaction that you are upset, instead turn it around on him and say well I'm glad your getting one cause I don't want to be tied down in my new life with a dog and I am getting far to busy to care for one. Just a thought
Re: Dog SleeplessInOhio: i'm sorry that you are so mad, but at least you don't have to fight over who gets the dog. you should get a puppy. :)
Re: Dog jadedangel: [color=navy"> Yes ... get a puppy! ... Then it will be yours ... and it will love you ... no matter what time you get up in the morning or how you clean the house and it will be sooo excited to see you ... every single time you walk through the door .... [/color">
