Keep the pooch. He'll make it easier for you to find another S/O.

Just be thankful you saw this side of her before you had a child together.

We've had 4 years together and i'm trying not to end our relationship on a sour note, so i'm being patient and "understanding", while deep down inside i feel like there's a big massive knot that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and it's going to drive me to the brink of insanity or something.. :|

Too late for that. You are already fighting over the move out arrangements and the pet. She is doing it to stick a knife in your ribs. I quarantee you, if she ends up with the dog the dog is gonna get ignored or abused...cause she will transfer her agression and anger at you to the dog. Your problem is you are being too nice. She is a b!tch. Get used to it.

My girlfriend and I have been living together for 3 years .. We've had a dog for over 2 years .. For about the past 1 1/2 years, I walk the dog in the morning, I come home for lunch and walk the dog, I walk the dog when I get home, and 90% of the time I walk the dog at night .. My girlfriend wakes up before me in the morning to go to work but she won't take the dog out and her excuse is "you work right around the corner, i have to drive to work 30 minutes.." And even if I ask her to walk the dog at night, she gets so angry and I can't ask her to do it without her putting up a fight.. Now mind you, I originally got the dog for her because we had moved cross country and she was lonely..

Anyways, the past 2 days, my dog has gotten up early in the morning and peed by our balcony door.. I asked my girlfriend if she would accept some responsibility over the dog and at least wake up 5 minutes earlier everyday to walk her in the morning .. AND SHE FLIPPED OUT ON ME!@

Now, HERE'S THE KICKER!@ My girlfriend and I are taking time apart .. She's going to be leaving soon and finding her own place and she WANTS TO TAKE THE DOG for 3 days a week.. WTF!@?!@# Is this not completely wrong and absurd? She can't even handle the responsibility right now and it PISSES ME OFF.. What should I do about it?

BTW, here's a pic of my dog

I'd tell her to kiss my ass. If she hasn't taken any responsibility for the dog she doesn't deserve to take him.

You're right, i'm too nice .. I don't think of myself as being spineless, it's just I respect women a great deal.. Maybe too much and that's why i'm getting walked all over ..

Are there ANY decent women out there between 23 - 27 who would enjoy being with a nice 25 year old who treats them with respect and is willing to break his back for them? I don't think so.. I don't think i've ever run into a woman who appreciates me for what i do for them.. It really does hurt a lot, I honestly don't feel anyone should be treated this way.. :(

They're out there. Just don't look too hard.

Best advice in the thread.

I agree .. I know for a fact that Daisy looks at me as her master, she doesn't even like my GF getting close to me, she growls at her very often when she comes near me.. Maybe she too realizes who the real "bitch" in the house is.. :)

Yes that's ridiculous. You should dump her ass and keep the dog. Afterall that dog is probably nothing but loving and won't flip out on you!

No. Women want to be treated like crap. Blame their fathers. But that's a totally different thread.

Don't let her take the dog from you, even for part of the week.

Burn the bridges my friend... burn the bridges.

Man, that really sucks...but at least you know that you're not staying with her. Still sucks in the meantime. Just continue being the bigger person and take care of the dog, because regardless of what happens, never neglect the dog even if it's just a pet.

I know, i can't stand dealing with it anymore and it eats me up everyday .. So often I just want to take a day off from work, pack everything, and have my gf come home to an empty place..

Not to trivialize your problem, but your relationship is lacking some serious components if this is an issue. I hope it all works out for you, but you should question whether or not you two are a good fit together.

As far as the dog goes. Sounds like your emotions for the dog are mixed. On one hand he is a burden and requires a lot of care that you wish you didn't have to provide. On the other hand, you sound like you care ofr the dog.

I don't think having the dog live in two places is a good idea. Pets like stability. Either one of you keep the dog 100% time or find a new owner for it.

good luck
