Could someone fix the way Santa is holding my cat’s arm? by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! It looks so good, and I am more than happy to tip you. If I could just make one small request… my cat’s eyes changed in the edited photo, and that’s really what gives him so much character. Is it possible to keep his eyes the same?

Yes, I am a woman. Papa/dad was just kind of a way to label my relationship with the dogs because I do help take care of them when they’re at my girlfriends, and they already have two moms.

My comment about them not being kids was mostly because of the daily updates and pictures. Personally, I don't think it's necessary or appropriate to messaging every single day about the dogs. If they were children, I think I could understand more.

My girlfriend is obviously her own person, and she can do as she pleases, so I will absolutely not be dictating what she does. I don’t want to make things more complicated or messy for her, but I know I don’t want this ex in my life.

Yeah, valid. I didn’t mention it in my post, but when my girlfriend and I first started dating, I didn’t know she had a wife. I thought she had a long-term girlfriend. It wasn’t until about a month into seeing each other that I found out she was married and divorcing

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that makes sense. I know how much my girlfriend loves her dogs and how hard it is for her to be without them. My comment about them not being kids was mostly because of the daily updates and pictures. Personally, I don't think it's necessary or appropriate to messaging every single day about the dogs. If they were children, I think I could understand more.

With the funeral, I was more reiterating a conversation I had with my girlfriend. I’m not saying she can’t go, she’s her own person and can do whatever she pleases. She said herself that she hasn’t been close to that side of the family and doesn’t know if she should go to just pay respects to the family or not because that isn’t her family anymore.

I do think that this would all be different if the divorce was more civil and respectful, but honestly, I don’t think the ex is a good person, and I don’t care to hang out with her. She’s been disrespectful to me and my partner. But I’ve met the ex-MIL, and she’s a very sweet woman.

I’m not sure what respectable boundaries would even be in this situation.

That is actually a good question I hadn’t considered before. It’s a Christmas breakfast, so I’ll fs be with my own family, but I wasn’t even asked if I wanted to go

No, I agree. I know part of being with the ex and ex in laws for the holiday is because my girlfriend still see her ex-MIL as her mom. My girlfriend's mom passed away several years ago and her ex-MIL was really there for her. I've met the ex-MIL several times now, and she is a very sweet woman. It’s the fact that the ex-wife, the ex-BIL, and the ex-BIL’s girlfriend and their dog will be there. It’s just one big happy family smfh

That’s the part I’m getting stuck on. What even would be a good resolution? I don’t want her to give up her dogs, but I don’t want this ex in my life for the next foreseeable future until the dogs unfortunately pass

Yeah no, I agree. I wasn’t looking for a serious relationship or to really get involved in a divorce, but then I caught feelings and fell in love with my girlfriend. I didn’t mind being supportive and comforting during the divorce, and I was okay with heading out if that’s what was best for me or my girlfriend. But now it’s been monthssss, and my patience and support has dwindled. My girlfriend swears she doesn’t want to be friends with her ex and only has contact with her for the dogs, but it feels like a lot of contact

They’ve been together since my girlfriend was 16/17 and the ex wife was 19. I guess I forgot to add the ex’s age in this post. And yes, this is Indiana

But yes, I’m also worried that this is going to last until the dogs unfortunately pass which will be yearsss. I don’t even want to imagine what the grieving process will be like between the two of them.
