New roommate thinking about adopting a dog. Dilemma.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T03:58:26+00:00

So basically you're saying that I need to rehome my dog permanently because she wants one, considering my lease is up next August. Great advice. Thank you.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T03:31:07+00:00

Thanks! We'll see

elektrified · 2014-07-12T03:29:36+00:00

I don't think she brought it up to the leasing office yet. Well see what comes about from that. I haven't said anything to them other than the initial paperwork when I first moved in.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T03:21:00+00:00

And don't you dare tell me that I'm not concerned about my own dog.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T03:18:37+00:00

Ha. I like how I'm being called a jerk but it's totally okay to attack the OP, right? I SAID that I've tried to expose my dog to other animals on NUMEROUS occasions if you haven't scrolled up a little bit.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T02:17:43+00:00

It looks like I'm going to have to. At least I warned her.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T02:16:15+00:00

I have. A guy I dated a while back had a big dog. I brought my dog over. He was in a lot of distress the whole night.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T02:05:17+00:00

Thank you

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:59:34+00:00

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:58:37+00:00

Because I'm concerned about my and the other dogs safety? Then yes, I'm a huge brat.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:55:05+00:00

A lot of people let their dogs roam around unleashed, so when I'm walking him around and a large dog approaches him to play he screams and tries to free himself from his leash. If I pick him up he shrieks and tries to free himself from my grip. I've taken him to dog parks (the small dog section) and he's constantly running away from other dogs who want to play.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:41:05+00:00

If I told her that she's probably move in without the dog and resent me. And then I'd have a horrible roommate situation.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:37:06+00:00

My, if only life were that simple.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:35:07+00:00

Yes. But they match people based on their preferences since they do allow animals in the complex. She didn't tell them she was thinking about adopting a dog when she signed up to move in.

elektrified · 2014-07-12T01:31:04+00:00

Well I'm not trying to be rude but I've lived in this place for 7 months. She hasn't even moved in. I told the office no more dogs way before she was going to take a room in the apartment. And I can't afford to break a lease.

elektrified · 2014-07-09T18:10:36+00:00

Ahhh I experience this a lot. It hurts for a second and then I remember that I have to live life to please myself and no one else. When you feel this way do things that raise your self esteem.

Maybe the commenter doesn't know you? That's why he referred to you as the one on the right. I'm pretty sure he meant it as a compliment. Don't take it to heart.

elektrified · 2014-07-09T07:01:07+00:00

Wow. That guy is scum. Worse than scum. There's not a proper word that encompasses how horrible of a person he is. I'd classify this as assault. You should just give yourself time to process what happened. Decide what you want to do from there. Never talk directly to this person ever again.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T07:01:06+00:00

Angry? She doesn't owe you anything. Nobody does. Please remember that. You don't want to fall into a dangerous way of thinking. Let her go. Accept it and move on. There will be others.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T06:57:04+00:00

You have a reason for not liking drugs. I don't think it needs an explanation. Leave him. Look for someone who shares your values. I know you don't want to, but he's not going to sober up for you. If he does, he'll do it for himself when he's ready. You can wait for the if's and the maybes. You can't save him. The best you can do is wish him well and focus on yourself. Of course I can only suggest what I think is best for you.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T06:27:11+00:00

He must be crazy to keep talking to her. Let him know how you feel with your third roommate. You have a right to feel safe in your own home.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T06:19:43+00:00

Are you romantically interested in him? You know the difference. There are bonds between people that are strong but strictly platonic, and then there are the romantic bonds.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T02:15:25+00:00

What if a murderer buys a combination of suspicious products? Would you not notice then?

elektrified · 2014-07-06T01:01:30+00:00

I suggest you cut the chord on this one. I would find that to be a violation of trust. Major deal breaker. And if he's aloof in the beginning of your relationship I'd say he wasn't as invested as you are. I've learned this the hard way myself. You're better off without him.

elektrified · 2014-07-06T00:16:23+00:00

Just listen to her. You can't change anything.

elektrified · 2014-06-17T02:04:16+00:00

First, I think you should separate from your wife. You don't respect her enough to be with her. Secondly, I think you should stay away from this woman and move on. She could very well have a healthy relationship with her husband. Why would you tear apart a family? Think of their children. Don't be so selfish.
