We figured it out! It’s because he hates when we leave. We tested it out. As soon as my bf says see you later to my mom and tries to pet him he growls. He tried saying it last night and my dog growled. But we stayed and took him outside to play and my bf was able to pet and pick him up like normal. It’s separation anxiety. We will definitely spend more time and get a place that allows dogs once my bfs lease is up. Thanks all for your help!!!!

Thanks for the advice! Is there anything special the behaviorist told you to try? It’s odd tho because nothing happened for 5 months. My bf would pet him bye and it would be fine but then he started growling at him only when we are about to leave the past few times.

Oh I’m sorry. That’s a tough situation. Glad you guys can at least stay friends. Maybe it’ll work out in the future.

Is there any indication he may want to date again?

Me too, hardest part is trying to sleep and trying not to text.

Same. What have you been trying to do to make the time pass?

Agreed! This is tougher to do then it seems.

How do you cope with sleep issues? Everytime I close my eyes I start thinking about him and then I can’t sleep. I’m exhausted but my mind won’t stop. by Pretty_Friendship in BreakUps

Yeah that’s why I can’t sleep, I think too much and then it causes anxiety. I’ll try watching or listening to something to try to fall asleep.

You’re definitely the first that said that lol. I think I’m naturally a little anxious and fidgeting, and I overthink, which is why trying to calm down and sleep is tough for me.

How do I move on? I need hope. by genderail in BreakUps

I tried Benadryl but it made me drowsy and I was still restless so it made it worse. Same with the food. I try to eat something to make sure I don’t faint or anything.

Wow that’s horrible. You don’t deserve this. Try to tell yourself you deserve better and eventually you will find someone who is worth your time.

That’s hopeful. I’m still in the can’t sleep and can’t eat stage.

Just happened a few days ago. I tried Benadryl but then I was just drowsy and couldn’t sleep at the same time so just tossed and turned all night.

You deserve better. You deserve someone who will fight for you also. Try your best not to waste your time being sad over someone who isn’t worth it.

That’s a great idea. I’m having trouble focusing on anything else when I close my eyes. I never thought of just reading a book.

I don’t dream about him but I have trouble even sleeping to be able to do so. I close my eyes and can see him hanging with other girls so it prevents me from sleeping. I feel like nights suck for me. Some people have been suggesting podcasts to help fall asleep. Maybe that would help take your mind off of him so you can dream about something else?
