annoyed by my gf's dog
Hi this may probably sound dumb and heartless to many of you and I'm sorry but i need to let it out cause i don't know what to do and i honestly feel mad at myself.
So I've been with this girl for a year now and i love her more than I can say and more than i thought possible to love someone. We get along amazing and we feel at home with each other.
She also has a dog she got a few months before we started dating, so it's still a pup kind of. Now i think the dog is really cute and adorable really and i do care for them and I'm so happy the dog is there for my gf when she needs it n all but also I'm so bothered lately.
For example we were on call earlier and it was going great but then i ended up being annoyed and bothered cause she called the dog to her as i was telling her sth and she started talking to the dog and giving them kisses and letting the dog lick her all over and it puts me off so much. I treat my pets differently, she's obsessed with this dog and treats them like a child and she says i comes first and then the dog but i don't believe it tbh.
I feel so stupid i just have some neglect and abandonment issues and to see how she treats her dog and how she stays with them while she talks to me too, i need more attention and i feel so childish about it. I'm just also mad maybe cause she's got the dog and the dog is getting all the love i can't get cause we're away cause of quarantine and I'm always home alone.
I just don't know how to handle this i feel very bad
I'm so sorry you're feeling neglected. Your feelings are valid, even if you feel they are childish or are conflicted about them. <3 I hope you and your girlfriend are able to come to a balance with the new addition. <3
it's okay! your feelings are valid but maybe try to talk to her about it? everybody is different and she probably has an attachment to her dog. it might seem weird but there's plenty of people who are overly affectionate w their dogs so don't be worried. she won't leave you for her dog unless she's into bestiality 😇
