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

Probably, yes.

I've got 2 dogs. I love them both so much so yes I definitely think I could be happy with the set up you have described.

Love these replies, restores my faith is the power of womankind! Also some great puns in this thread so that makes it particularly great. Off out to walk the dog (I’ll check in with the lover later 😁)

And I don’t want to exclude anyone in same sex relationships from this chat of course! I just wonder if husbands develop more faults over time and you find the extended warranty wasn’t worth the paper is was written on 🤣

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!

Maybe avoid Maine Coons. Mine seems to think he's a dog. He does affectionately hop into bed to play little spoon in the early hours of the morning though.

OP to answer your question, I'm quite happy with DH but should anything ever happen to him I think I'd be quite content with the cats and a vibrator.

*with the cats and a vibrator.

Damn this new site.

I had to read that a couple of times before it didn't read like a crime.
But yes, yes that could work.
I would also recommend cats, however.

Single, never lived with a man, currently live solo with dog. It's honestly amazing. Wake upto morning cuddles, walking buddy, sofa companion, makes me laugh, goes to sleep at my side.

I'd love to live here with just my cat for company.

If something happened to H or the cat, I'd have another cat in a heart beat.
The end.
