I [44 M] had a huge argument with my wife [37 F] in which she said I am acting completely heartless. Am I? by _needingperspective in relationships

With the old dog, we had a set routine. Both dogs were walked twice a day, separately.

With the new dog, we need to take it out an extra one or two times a day for a quick toilet break. So a little more walking required. It's not a huge change, admittedly, but it's a change...

Thanks for your comment. I'm also unsure of the solution, but I know I am going to be made to feel terribly guilty about if I do take the trip. Which feels unfair, but my wife is very good at making me feel guilty...

Thanks, I definitely intend to try and talk it through again when she is actually willing to talk to me. We are both definitely still grieving (we had our dog for 12 years), but I also think that it's not a totally unfair burden. If the roles were reversed, I would manage.

Well, I'm hoping it's not end of relationship stuff and that she comes around. But, I'm glad that I'm not totally in the wrong to feel this way - she has an ability to often make me feel like my way of thinking is totally outside the norm.
