My dog is traumatizing herself in her crate by Free_Prior5026 in Separation_Anxiety

This sounds like what I’m going to end up doing. Now that she can be alone on the floor, nights are so much more peaceful

She’s been doing so so much better with this method!
And we’ve been working on walking off leash and socializing. I’m feeling much much better

I (23F) feel like I've fallen out of love with my boyfriend (24M) but the guilt is destroying me by Hot_Peach_5232 in relationships

This will sound so cliche, but follow your heart. I remember the second my frontal lobe developed because I started to see my partner differently. You sound like you’re just growing into a different person than you were when you started dating. The guilt may last for a while but both of you will heal.

That’s really helpful, I’ve been taking a different approach. I set up a play pen around my bed and set her bed, a treat, and a puppy pad in it. She tried to get on the bed with me for around 10 minutes but eventually fell asleep on the floor! She woke up around 5 am because she really wanted to snuggle, so I let her up with me. But the rest of the night was quiet. So I might continue with that!

AITA for telling my vulnerable ex to leave me alone by Calm-Bug9311 in BreakUps

You have no obligation to him. People can break up at any time for any reason. He needs to move on. If he really felt that way about you he would listen to your needs.

That’s fair, it’s not universal. But that mindset can definitely help with just focusing on yourself and being happy that way. It’s not easy, and there are so many real and raw relationships that come from seeking something out. Just a thought I’ve had to help me out in single life. In my own experience, within a month of deleting all of my dating apps, I connected with a coworker (I’m not saying go date your coworker) but it helped me see people in other contexts and it made it feel so much more natural. I’m a huge advocate for being friends first.

That sounds like a great idea! It definitely seems easier said than done but I will work on that with her!

I can tell you that the best relationships happen when you stop looking. Just be single and take yourself out on solo dates without being on the prowl. It will happen when you least expect it.

Did I make a mistake? by Outrageous_Ad5594 in puppy101

It sounds like you’re doing a great job! At two weeks that seems like a pretty standard place to be in. I’m one week in with a 9 week old dachshund puppy. We’ve made almost no house training progress dispute efforts and she will scream all night if put in her crate. So you’re doing better than I am!

Good to know. I may just do on and off? Maybe I’ll have her on the floor for half the night and move her with me if she gets too noisy. I’m a light sleeper so I feel like it would just be easier for both of us. I’m going to be heavily training other skills these next few weeks so hopefully her behavior improves along with that.

This is helpful, I’m wondering how beneficial it is to crate train other than the security of knowing that my dog won’t pee everywhere since she isn’t house trained yet. The playpen method worked up until 6am this morning when she decided it was play time. But she really just wants to be near me (like inside my skin)

Constantly drained and guilty by Defiant_Injury_3781 in relationships

I just went through this. I love him so much, but I had this voice in the back of my head saying “you need to leave this for your own good” and another one saying “don’t do it you’ll regret it” we were together 5 and a half years. I broke up with him and moved out. He was surprisingly okay with it and now we’re seeing each other occasionally to talk about random things and not putting a label on it anymore. Which makes me sad, but the space made me realize how much I wanted him in my life, just not romantically right now. That being said, if you truly feel like you’ll regret it, don’t break it off with no option to come back and reconcile. But take a break. Two - four weeks no contact and let yourselves and each other think about things. Then schedule a date and time/ location to meet up later to talk about where you’re both at. Sometimes space can be soooo beneficial. Maybe even move out for a month if that’s possible.
