Need some help - am
i being unreasonable?? My ex husband lives in the family home (mainly because he wasn’t prepared to help fund me and his children living there) the house is about to go up for sale as part of the divorce and he’s bought a puppy. Although it’s his home, it’s still 50% mine and I think he should have spoken to me before buying the dog. not because he has to run things past me but because it is still my house too and we all know puppies can be a little destructive! Im also seething because he said he needed as much time as possible to pay the money back he owes me but he can afford over 1k on a puppy? Am I getting narkey unnecessarily??

Dh’s ex wife moved her affair partner into their house two weeks after he had moved out. A dog is nothing in the scheme of things

But did they piss on the carpet and chew doorframes though 🤔

You’re trying to control him

Probably from what I’ve since seen of him 😂

House buyers don't seem to mind people living a house, but often people mind a dog living there. It also makes sheding viewings more difficult then there's the potential toilet accidents & destruction.

A person with half a brain cell would wait to get a dog until the matrimonial home has been sold & they are settled into their next property.
