I'm really fed up. When i first met my boyfriend he had a Staffordshire bull terrier dog that slept on the other side of the bed. I was the newbie Into things. So I had to adapt. I'd never slept with a dog In the bed. I loved the dog. But noted quite soon that he was a 24/7 on a human or curled up next to a human. There was no such thing as go lie down. Or time on the floor. The dog was allowed to be with us constantly. In the bathroom. On the sofa. In bed. He got so much of my boyfriends time and cuddles that I began to feel a little (alot) ignored. Our sex life barely existed after the initial stage. It was hard. When the dog passed away he got a smaller dog. But once again no discipline. I bought her a bed. He never trained her. She was 24/7 in between us. Drove me nuts. He had no choice but to sell her when his job changed. We had 3 whole years dog free. (I love dogs just not the way he trains them)
Then 2 months ago he announced to me via text that he's got a very large to be Dog that's currently a pup. At 4 months old he's medium sized. Sort of spaniel sized. He'd going to be absolutely huge. My boyfriend has been staying with me whilst he awaits his moving in date to his new place. I need to stress the dogs amazing. So lovely. We'll behaved. But like the other 2 he's got no limitations. So ifcourse he's 24/7 on the sofa and curls up against one of us. He's in bed everynight. Kicking and stretching. I end up coming through to the sofa and sleeping as I have 7am starts at work. But what's really got to me is for the last couple of weeks whenever they are with me. My boyfriend is spooning the dog on the sofa and I'm sat alone. We haven't physically been near one another in weeks/months.
The other day he actually Said he will always have him with him. He said you'll have to go to work and things but he will always be there.
I just came through to the sofa to sleep and sulk and the dogs come through to lay in my feet. I feel really guilty because it's my boyfriend who I'm frustrated with. Because he cannot seem to give me Any dog free time. Even the other night he said we could lay and watch a film and the dog could go down. But as soon as we were both laid down he was straight up.
I've had so many chats over the years with him and it never changes. I just want your Input. Am I being mean?
