No, my parents felt like dogs are meant to be outside, whereas I feel like your dog should be like a member of your family. She does TONS of cute stuff. |
why foster and not adopt the dog? |
how were you able to do an Alaskan cruise together without wife knowing? |
Oh, the cockapoo is mine forever. I fostered a different dog - that was just for two months. |
They were having construction done on their house - I think she was supervising it or something. |
when you go on trips do you tell family that you're going? I think I'd worry about there being an emergency and my family not knowing. |
you mention "friends" often in this thread, OP. Do you ever wonder or worry what your friends think of your situation? Do you think they are horrified, impressed, envious, sympathetic...what? |
So the wife got to deal with construction, dust, debris, contractors AND two little kids while her fab dh went on a cruise with his mistress. I hope you realize just how big of a jerk this guy is, Op. Narcissist? Sociopath? I don't know, but master manipulator and selfish bastard for sure. |
Well maybe 30 something child-free women can look back on their lives and say that they knew very early on that they didn't want kids. But, trust me, there are plenty of moms who can look back to a time when they knew that they didn't want kids, too. Minds change. And 30 something men (especially master manipulators like your boyfriend) know that. In fact, I'll bet that if your boyfriend wanted YOU to have a kid, he would find a way to make you want one, too. |
I feel sorry for OP. Her exchange about her cockapoo demonstrates to me just how immature she really is. If I were her mom (I'm old enough to be) I'd give her a hug and then a stern taking-to. It is just sad. |
*talking to |
No. I let a friend know. We have been each other's emergency contact since college. My parents are more the type to go "Oh that's terrible, feel better, good luck" than to jump on the next plane out here and swoop in to get all involved. |
I think that some of us are trying to do just that. Right now, that cockapoo is all that this girl really has that is her very own. She could have so much more. I really hope that this is not for real. If it is, how very, very sad. |
Your "emergency contact" friend who has known you for a long time...what does she think of your situation? |
You are wrong! It happens and has happened to my personal knowledge and it will not be found out as long as one takes a few precautions and most important: the two parties to the affair don't share that information with anyone else. |
