Hi everyone. My head is in the shed right now and need some advice please . 5 weeks ago I finally got a puppy that I have always wanted . My husband payed for her and even offered to buy one before I was even looking .
I made sure that we had a talk and made him see that I did not want a dog if I was to be the only one looking after her as I work long hours in a demanding job . He was adamant he would help and the only thing he could not do is clean up poo.
I felt ready by this point so went to get her . The 1st few days I thought everything was going well . She didn't sleep in the nights for 2 weeks unless I was sleeping next to her so that was hard work but it was me who had sleepless nights not him .I didn't complain once either . She is a baby after all . One night she started whining because I attempted to go to bed and sleep and his head went he started shouting saying he wish he hadn't got her and that he was going to leave me . We have been together 13 years . He didn't go .
I noticed that he was losing interest in her quickly and now it's got to the point where all he does is sit on the sofa and just look at her with a fed up face . He won't do anything with her . Ta an effort for him to look at what she's doing when I ask him too or even to stroke her when I say say goodnight to her . In all honesty I didn't realise having a puppy would be this hard . I have been feeling really down the last 2 weeks but I think it's because it's a big change . I adore her and play with her constantly. Even when I'm half dead .
I just feel so disheartened. He's actually making me feel more depressed because of the way he's acting . He barely talks to me anymore just constantly looks fed up . Has anyone else gone through the same and do they change ? Thankyou
