I've had my dog now for ten years. He's 13, so I know he's a senior dog with not many more years.
When he looks at me with those huge beautiful eyes, he melts my heart. I realize that no man has been able to compare to the time I spend with my dog. |
| I hope to change that someday, but I'm right there with you, OP. |
| I agree, OP. |
|
Sorry, can't relate. I have a lot of affection for my friendly canine companion, but human males are more interesting.
|
| Clearly you haven't met the right man yet. Since the 'man' in your life is a 13yo dog, you should start figuring out what's next. Maybe get another dog now. |
Get another "man" you mean |
I agree OP. I don't know many people who bring me as much unconditional joy and love. And a lot less baggage. Very few BPD, sociopathic or narcissistic dogs
|
| I love my two dogs, but I’m very sorry you haven’t found a human companion. My husband is wonderful. |
| I think many of us love our pets more because we are unafraid to love them and we have more trouble opening ourselves up to other people. So I'm not sure that it is always the case that we haven't found the right person. We just may not be in the right place with ourselves. |
Same. I love my dog but doesn't even come close to comparing with DH |
| Unconditional love is hard to come by in humans. |
| Accurate, facts, no lies |
| This belongs in the "Off Topic" section or maybe even in the "Relationship" section. It's more about how someone prefers having a relationship with an animal rather than a fellow human. Which is fine. I just don't see this as a pet topic. |
The love your dog gives you is not unconditional. Stop feeding it and it will no longer love you. You're confusing unconditional love with compelled love. |
| If you want a man who looks lovingly at you while you make all the meals, do all the housework, earn all the money, and make every decision alone you could probably find that. |
