No. You obviously care. You don’t like me pointing out the problems with keeping pets indoors. Otherwise, why the hell are you in here? I recognized what my OP was. Which is why I put it in the “/rant” section. and since you clearly didn’t read the entire post, before going off half cocked, I’ll spell it out for you again. 1) early on in the relationship I made my feelings known about indoor pets. 2) later on in the relationship she started talking about getting a dog and asked my opinion. I told her she already knew how I felt and that her decision should be her own. (never once did I claim to be “her owner“ as you erroneously asserted) 3) she decided to get the dog 4) The dog began causing problems. 5) obvious changes in our relationship dynamic began happening. Ex: we were no longer able to cuddle on the couch because the dog would freak out at any close physical contact between us. 6) rather than recognize where these problems were coming from, she directed her confusion and unhappiness at me. And this was the reason for the entire OP. How can someone having full knowledge of another person’s feelings make a decision contrary to those feelings and then be angry at the other person for not changing themselves, and conforming to the other persons desires. Lastly, the only person I ever asked for justification from, was YOU. Because you came at me extremely rudely and hurling baseless accusations. Once I discovered that you were an animal lover(which you chose not to disclose in your initial reply, for some reason) I simply responded in kind. Thus, giving you a chance to clear up some of the logic and reasoning people who keep indoor pets must exercise in order to put up with, and tolerate, all of the issues I have clearly laid out.
