Wondering if a dog as my soul mate and vibrator as my lover we would be better than marriage :-)

You know that feeling when you realise that you essentially run everything for the house, can’t remember the last time you properly kissed (although dh is disappointed we don’t have sex more than once a week) organise any holiday or date (which rarely happens anyway), provide the family income and the conversations are drying up.

im not giving up yet, but anyone else been out walking the dog and think you know what, I’ve got a soul mate here, great friends, a good job and a vibrator at home, I think I’m sorted 😁

if sure there’s is plenty to unpick and serious relationship reflection to do but right now, I’d just to know if anyone has ever felt the same

Ha yes was wondering that the other day Too would certainly be cheaper and tidier

goodsturdygirl · 13/05/2022 07:50

YES absolutely. It's what I am going for

KangarooKenny · 13/05/2022 07:50

Yep. I love my dog more than anyone, and I always hit the spot with ‘self care’. Don’t need a man.

Personally, preferable to be single than in a shit relationship, but would choose my lovely husband over being single. I can get myself off but I also love the connection of being with someone I'm in love with and I hated having no one to tickle my back.

Slonce0911 · 13/05/2022 12:45

Me! Altough i have cats rather than a dog!
After it turned up he was drug user on the top of not recovering so well alcoholic!
He is trying to do all he can to fix what in my eyes is too late to do...
Those 8 weeks he was in rehab was the easiest ...but it would broke my son so i need to just get on.
Keeping busy for now renovating a house, building extension...once it is done i have an option of buying him out. Hope my son my be ready then

Am I being unfaithful as I have 4 ddogs?!

Giggorata · 13/05/2022 12:59

I just think that when I break this one, I won't bother getting another…

Only if they don't know about each other. Otherwise its polygamy.

BobHadBitchTits · 13/05/2022 13:26

I honestly wonder this daily myself.

Isn’t it polydogamy ? 🤣

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 13/05/2022 14:29

Yes. Heaps better! And if you can wake yourself up with your own snoring, so much the better!

GCAcademic · 13/05/2022 14:31

I wouldn’t bother with a man again.

Wouldn’t last five minutes without a dog, though.

blobby10 · 13/05/2022 14:32

Polydogamy!!! Love that!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But I agree with you all

JollyWilloughby · 13/05/2022 14:34

No. The D is always better than the V. Not sure why though when the V is bigger and has more modcons. 😂

😂Or Paw- lygamy!

User3568975431146 · 13/05/2022 14:35

Most likely 😏

calmlakes · 13/05/2022 14:36

Not for me.
My dog is even needier than my DH and drives me gently nuts trailing round after me.
I also think he isn't very bright.

I might consider cats though!

Summerholidayorcovidagain · 13/05/2022 14:46

Once made a remark about going out dogging one night(to dd in a shop) .. actually meant walking the ddogs..
Was mortified...

pointythings · 13/05/2022 15:44

I am single and I have 4 cats. I am never having another man in my life.

Or Polydogamy!

Itsallrocknroll · 13/05/2022 15:47

Ah someone best me to it 🤣

larkstar · 13/05/2022 15:59

Should be fine so long as you keep the two apart :-)

Husband or vibrator? I need to know! Grin

SpikeyHatePotato · 13/05/2022 21:57

Honestly, when this relationship done, I'm done with men, and possibly women.
Pets are definitely the way forward !
