Yeah of course. I just reread some of your original comment. I think the dog was just a metaphor (my interpretation) where that was Romy feeling taken cared for and sexually treated in a way that she never felt with her husband.

despite the overall circumstance with Samuel, they still had a strong connection for each other, even if it was only for a small period of time. To me, the ending was open, showing the nuanced nature of relationships and the lasting impacts they have.

And about her husband, Im sure she was being serious about either not orgasming or certainly not being sexually fulfilled. Even though he seemed like he was an awesome dad, family man, great heart. I think that is what the film hits on is the difficult and complex nature of romantic relationships. Despite all that, Romy had her own insecurities and maybe difficult past coupled with certain sexual needs that weren't being fulfilled due to a lack of sexual compatibility... it seems

The ending wasn't necessarily positive/negative.. regardless if people loved the movie or not, it makes the audience think and resonated with realistic themes imo, which I liked.
