A few years ago,I met a guy.Lovely chap.We got on really well and were basically together 9 years.
After an arguement, he left me, but we started to see each other for a further 2 years,nothing special.It was me mainly going to him.Hes very jealous of my animals.
Last year, he told me he still loves me and when I prompted further discussion, he refused.
We split on a more permanent basis, but in early april,found ourselves in a duvet again.This led to a pregnancy scare which he was unaware of, but all was well.
We went out for dinner friday, and again, ended up at my place,which took me by surprise as I have pet rabbits in my bedroom.
Im skirting round the edges, I know, but I have no idea what to think.Im meant to be moving house but it keeps falling through.
We have a great friendship...getting on fabulously.
I still love this man, but when we broke up, we had serious issues and he keeps his cards close to his chest and will not discuss stuff.
I dont want to get hurt again, I dont want to hurt him,because I know I did, so should I just stay away??
Or is there any hope??

Hmm - make a choice, your bunnies or a boyfriend.

I wouldn't get involved with someone who slept with rabbits Grin.

\if he wont talk, wont discuss things with you i cant see much hope I'm afraid.

I dont see any problem with rabbits in the bedroom, rabbits can be toilet trained and can be house pets no problems apart from them chewing cables, phone wires, phone chargers...

well there is one wee problem with out bun, when DH snores the rabbit thumps the floor

solidgoldbrass · 30/05/2012 22:46

Stick with the bunnies and bin the man. He's not worth the hassle.

Cluffyfunt · 30/05/2012 22:49

I have a rabbit in my room.

DH likes it.

is this a piss take of a story I've never read ?

Twiggy71 · 30/05/2012 23:11

Stick with the bunnies and get rid of the man.
Or in my case got rid of the man and kept the dog.

SerendipitousHarlot · 30/05/2012 23:31

What an awfully strange thread this is Smile

squeakytoy · 30/05/2012 23:44

If this is serious, I would suggest putting the bunnys in a more appropriate place.. they do not need to be in a bedroom..

Did you show him your beaver?

LucieMay · 31/05/2012 00:44

I've read through this entire thread in the hope of finding the answer, but I am still clueless as to why the bunnies live in the bedroom? Rabbit droppings have surely got to be a turn off.

AgathaFusty · 31/05/2012 09:00

So, do you have more animals than the 2 bunnies in the bedroom?

I'm picturing a small zoo in your house.

ZZZenAgain · 31/05/2012 09:27

ok
why is he jealous of the animals? Looking after your pets and interacting with the man in your life are two totally different things. IF he wants you to focus more on him, either you do it or you don't. Not knowing more about how many animals you have and how you go about things with him, I couldn't say whether he is weirdly needy or whether he might have a point.

If you like the sex, go ahead so long as you don't need the full relationship thing. If you do, it sounds like even without your pets, he is not the man to get anywhere with IMO. Maybe he is the strong, silent, I don't discuss emotions type. If he is , he is unlikely to change. So either you can cope with that or you can't. You'll have to know.

Are there animals all over your place? Sex doesn't have to take place in a bed. So if the bunnies are in the bedroom, you could have sex elsewhere. If animals are everywhere in the house, maybe the bunnies could be moved. After all they have each other so maybe they would be ok in a different room.

Surreal thread of the day win!

Lucie May rabbits can be litter trained. Ours uses a tray just like a cat does.
We use wood pellets in case he tries to eat the litter.
Rabbits make good house pets as long as you keep wires etc out of reach or covered with cable tidy. I always feel sorry for buns confined to wee cages outside.
Personally I see no difference between a bun in the room and a cat, or rats as long as litter trays cages and so on are kept clean

Hope the poorly bunny gets better soon

Aside from that, OP, I think your mans jealousy of the pets is only one issue.
On one hand you say you are good friends and get on well but then that he will not discuss stuff. Not a good sign bur can you keep being friends in spite of his "keeping cards close to his chest "?
At the moment it sounds like you are "friends with benefits", it's up to you how happy you are to keep the relationship on this level.
Can you cope with having sex but not being in a deep relationship?

MardyArsedMidlander · 31/05/2012 13:24

I can't have sex with the cats in the bedroom Blush. Imagine doing it and then catching them looking at you????

Parront · 01/06/2012 14:32

I have 4 bunnies, 3 cats and an african grey parrot.
