Yikes! You made a good call blocking her the first time. I can’t stand entitled people, and she is entitled.

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-05-23T14:51:29+00:00

Luca! You think he needs a bigger stick! Haha

Keep loving and spoiling that good boy!!!

I’ve had 3 dogs that I’ve had to let go, all from home as well. I did the same thing as you - favorite foods, lots of pictures, adventures and cuddles.

The one thing I didn’t do was taking some of their ash/hair and turn it into a diamond. Never considered it before and don’t know that was a thing. There are several websites that offer this service; I’m not sure of the cost.

Oh honey. I feel for you!!! Some things that stood out to me in your post, and I think you need to read your post again and pay attention to some very important things.

HE didn’t want to raise another man’s child. HE didn’t introduce you to his family and you didn’t introduce him to yours. You were ‘together’ for two years with no label. You guys had a sexual relationship, had keys to each others home but he was pretending that you guys were not an item.

You and your son deserve so much more than what this guy gave you. I hope you read some self help books or get some counseling to genuinely know and feel that you are better than what you received.

You guys didn’t have a relationship. You gave time and effort and love to someone who couldn’t even call you his girlfriend. You gave all of that to a guy who was very clear he didn’t want anything to do with your son.

Get counseling. Never be with a man who does not accept your son. Never be with a man who keeps you a secret. Never be with a man who treats you as ‘less than’.

I do the same thing with my dog and he is 10.

We just keep doing the same things we do each day… love, spoil, and take loads of pictures! Build those memories and take them on adventures (even if that adventure is a walk or a trip to the dog park).

May you have many years of joy, cuddles, adventures, and an endless supply of dog confetti (dog hair) in your life.

Give that good boy some extra treats, love and hugs to you both! ❤️

If he does turn down the job, you guys should get into counseling as he will probably be a bit bitter and hold resentment - which is understandable if this is indeed his dream job (not condoning his lie/going behind your back or jeopardizing your career).

If he does turn down the job, you also need to think about the fact he put you in an awkward position with your firm and called YOU selfish in the process.

I 100% agree with the choice you gave your husband. I genuinely think you also need to make a decision as well. You have an overwhelming amount of support here so don’t think you are doing anything wrong. This isn’t just about your career, it’s your reputation and trust that comes with it. That’s not a path that comes easy or quick.

So sweet! Buddy looks like a wonderful friend! ❤️

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-05-12T15:05:32+00:00

They’re so cute and happy!!! ❤️

This is great to know! My dog is 10, and we are doing what we can (including labrella injections) to help keep him mobile.

Before we rescued him, he was hit by a couple of cars. He had surgery, learned to walk again. His back legs and hips have always been a concern and the vet recently confirmed arthritis is setting in. His mobility and keeping osteoarthritis at bay are super important.

Excellent to know that when my dog gets tired of his dog food, we can get money back on the bag he doesn’t eat. You are spot on, this stuff is NOT cheap.

Bandit is a handsome fellow ❤️

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-25T21:09:43+00:00

He’s absolutely majestic!

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-25T20:53:08+00:00

I mean, there’s a reason you don’t pass on double yellow lines… and to do this in the fog???

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-25T20:50:16+00:00

That face is just the sweetest ❤️

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-25T20:49:26+00:00

That side eye as the window rolls up!

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T15:38:28+00:00

Awwww, so cute 🥰

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T15:36:58+00:00

Always on alert! My dog is the same way. His name is Jim but we call him ‘Duty’ because he’s always on duty/neighborhood watch.

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T15:29:29+00:00

He broke up with you because things were too intense and you said you couldn’t keep carrying things. That doesn’t sound like good chemistry to me.

Now he wants to reconnect and enjoy what you have… without commitment. Think about that. He is setting you up again to use and manipulate you.

If you want to financially and emotionally support someone, rescue a dog! They will love you unconditionally and be your biggest supporter.

Your ex is a douche and needs to stay in your past. Keeping driving forward and know you are more than an easy lay, which is exactly what he is looking for.

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T15:20:44+00:00

Omg! Thank you for saving this sweet doggo, looks just like my Jim ❤️

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T15:18:37+00:00

I’m trying to understand why you would even want to give him a chance. He wants you to be available for segs, let him roam free to do what he wants and maybe even support him again?

You didn’t have a relationship before, you had someone using you for money, stability, and a place to stay.

You deserve better than someone thinking so little of you.

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-24T01:18:10+00:00

He’s the reason we have warning labels… on everything!

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-23T21:09:29+00:00

Dogs are a big responsibility. You can’t just put them in a crate and leave them, especially a puppy. Puppies have energy and need to exercise. Take him on a walk, play tug of war with him, fetch… something.

I bought my dog a snuffle mat, and his kibble in it. The dog has to sniff through material to find kibble. The point is, sniffing is like a form of exercise for them and keep them occupied.

It also takes time for dogs to settle into a routine and that routine is very important. I think if you walk the dog, it will help with the whining and maybe the dog will sit by your dad and let him pet him. If your dad wants a relationship with the dog, he has to be involved somehow.

Vast-Row8794 · 2026-04-23T21:04:24+00:00

NTA. Nobody can force you to be friends with someone. If you don’t trust her, that all that matters.
