Tired of waiting for nothing
Hey so i wanted to vent just a little. Me and my bf have been together for almost 2 years and from the start of our relationship, i wanted a dog. I come from an African household and pets are not a big thing. We had a cat for not even 2 weeks but it was one of the best moments of my life. I also used to be obsessed with a specific dog book with most dogs.
Has u can read, im obsessed with animals. We currently have three iguana, which one is mine, but they are just… there. I love them but its not the same has classic pets. I thought because we used ro live in his apartment thats the reason he always says no. He has a dog for 14 years and told me he wanted a break which i was fine at first, until he told me that he wanted one only when im pregnant, which wont happen in a few years. I wanted to have a dog first then kids.
After a few months of us living together, we moved to his mother’s house and i was fine with it until she was strict with not having more pets other than the iguana. Even if they are hairless. I was finally about to have my dream dog and everything crumbled. I started seeing owners and their pets outside and becoming jealous of them and was crying everyday. I thought the dog would have been a better emotional support of a suspected BPD than him since he’s just not supporting me emotionally at all. I’m the one taking care of the reptile.
Should i leave him? Should i convince him? Should i just bring a random dog to the house?
