My Bfs dog has separation anxiety so he won't leave her alone at all, this includes bf going to the loo, or even just popping into the kitchen.
We carn't go on dates, and even if we could, then it would have to be when I visited him at his home, and that's if his son was free to dogsit at that time.
To be honest though, I don't think he is the type of man who would say he was taking me out for a meal!
They have been coming to stay at mine more lately as it's easier with the travel arrangements, plus I have to leave my dog with my daughter.
We go out each day for a couple of hours, a forest walk usually, but then we carn't go into shops or whatever as one of us has to stay outside, and thats not so good if the weather is bad.
Every evening we spend at home with bf sitting on the armchair chair, dog on lap.
I have an elderly male dog who is well behaved, and whom I love dearly, but I've never had these problems with him and still have my independence.
He does put his dog first, whether thats putting the dogs in the car, or giving them treats etc.
My dog loves him, but does wonder why only his dog is allowed on bfs lap.
Bf is fond, and will give him fuss for a few mins, but then says to my dog...right give me a little break now.
I don't know what to think, or feel right now, as this will happen more going forward as bf will be staying at my house.
Bf is a good man, whom I trust completely, and we get on quite well, though there are differences in our personalities.
So I'm starting to feel the lack of romance, and like I've got a companion/ friend who comes to stay over, especially as it's a 50/50 split with paying for a takeaway, coffee etc.
There just doesn't seem to be any solution, unless anyone can suggest anything please?
