Jmo but she knew what she was signing up for when she married you. You may get past this bump by selling the dog but the resentment you are going to develop towards her is going to do nothing but get worse. If she is willing to leave you over this then she is looking for a way out anyway. You may want to consider getting a actual counselor to talk with the both of you so you can have a 3rd party go over the situation with the both of you and get to the root of the problem.
x2...just like buying a car to improve the relationship...works for about a month and then the car payment is due...and then the car insurance is higher because it is a new car...you find out that things can get worse than before you bought the car...not exactly the same but getting rid of the dog is not really getting to the root cause of the problem...it is only a temporary fix and both of you are not addressing the real issues (root cause)... hope both of you can work it out...but I agree with hogsnatcher about maybe a marriage counselor can help you both... smart man |

As a girl, I’m trying REALLY hard to catch where she could possibly be coming from… Only thing I can figure is she doesn’t enjoy the sport, or care about it like you do, so she doesn’t appreciate your dogs. That bein said, I’m having a really hard time understanding the whole wanting a goat thing, but to everybody their own--and I can respect that. JMO, I agree with the compromise idea!! If the dog’s gotta go so does the frickin goat that prolly doesn’t do much anyways!!! Seriously though, keep your head up and follow your heart- only you know what’s right for ya’ll.

Jmo but just from what I've read it kinda sounds like she wants out of the relationship, but doesn't want to be the one to say it. Making you sell your dogs, house, and give up something you love because she doesn't like it seems kind of extreme to me. Sounds like she's trying to push you out. So when someone ask what happened she can put the blame on you. I respect you for wanting to make it work for the kids but she needs to chill out and be willing to compromise some. If you keep giving in to her demands the resentment will keep building up in you until you get to the point where there's no chance of reconciliation between you two.
I agree you guys should check into seeing a counselor, because it definitely sounds like there's bigger problems than the dog getting ahold of the goat. I hope everything works out for the best for you and your family.

That is EXACTLY what hapened with my ex wife. Those were back in my ramblin days and I was sitting on the couch with Sam (my black lab) drinking beer. She came in and bowed up by putting her hands on her hips. They are mad when they do that. She tole me "either me or that damn dog is going". I hugged Sam and gave him a drink of beer and told him "Sam, it looks like she is going to leave us boy--we sure are going to miss her".
You talk about hitting a nerve. She left shortly after that and filed for divorce. Little did I know that was the very best thing that ever happened to me in my life. If had of stayed hooked I would either be dead or getting out of prison about now for killing her and her momma.
I have been married to the same woman now for a long time and she is a keeper. We hardly ever have a cross word with each other. However, a long time ago she said she was leaving and going to take half of the bird dogs. That got my attention and we made up.
Life is way too short and if she is willing to leave you over a dog it ain't gonna work anyway.

Buddy, i'm all for the sanctity of marraige, but marraige aint one person giviing in all the time, it's supposed to be give and take. I suggest hold off getting rid of your dog, let a buddy close by keep it. Then find you a Church counselor or a marriage counselor and get to the bottom of this. Your dog aint what's making her unhappy. Something else is up, and when you get rid of your dog, the problem is still going to be there. And I'm all for staying together for the kids, but what they are learning now is dysfunctional. Bottom line, you may jump through all the hoops for her, and in 6 months, you may still be seperated or worse, and without all the things you enjoy doing that you gave up. Man, i wish you the best and will keep your family in my prayers, i went through something similar and gave up my best dogs, and I'd be lying if i didnt say i still resent it just a little when i see those dogs doing good for other folks. Good luck

I'm still telling you, you don't ask, request or beg, just go get her. Bring her back, put the kids to bed. "brownchickenbrowncow" and then slapp her butt and tell her to make you a sandwich.
Women act huffy and puffy, but 90% of them respond well to a decisive man.

x2 T-Bob, but only to an extent. If she is leaving you over a dog I think that she was waiting on an excuse. If she really wants to be with you as a family then she wil come back if you asked... if she don't, then you might be better off with someone else. Family comes first, but you only have one life to live... so don't give up everything you love just to make her happy when she isn't willing to give up anything to keep you happy, AND is so quick to leave. JMO Been in similar situation before, and had to basically put the hammer down like T-Bob said, but with a little finesse. |
