Recently separated. Dog missing DH

My husband and I are now separated. He left the home nearly 2 weeks ago. It’s been tough on all of us but our 7yr old golden retriever is really unhappy. She’s not doing anything she usually does. Doesn’t want to walk/play. Moping about generally. I’m trying to be upbeat with her but I couldn’t have imagined she react this badly.

DH would walk her maybe 2/3 times a week. He never fed her or played with her; never groomed her. Wherever I was in the house, she’d be there with me. If I was away, she’d be in my bed so, I didn’t expect this, almost a fortnight on.

Any advice? I feel desperate for her. She’s turned into an old lady, so sad.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear that you - and your lovely dog - are having such a tough time right now. Flowers

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support when you're feeling down.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Thanks everyone.
