I love my husband but I HATE our dog. I found this dog cold, alone and crying in the woods and brought it home to take it to the vet and find it a home. He fell in love with it and here we are 18 months later still with this dog.
He loves it to no end and I hate it no end. I know that sounds awful but I just do. I have spent thousands of dollars on training, repairing ruined items and he even destroyed my daughter's pictures of when she was born! I'll never be able to show her those EVER.
He loves that dog to no end. Spoils it rotten and I resent every second he spends with it. I can't explain how every time he tells that dog he loves it, or how good it is I want to scream. The dog is the ONLY thing we ever fight about. It messes up the house, it is unruly even though I've spent thousands on a trainer coming to our house. He just doesn't get it.
This dog stresses me so much I literally have chest pain. I'm at the end. I don't know what to do. I know that if I make him choose between me and the dog he'll choose me and resent me for making him get rid of something he loves so much. But if I keep dealing with the dog I'll be stressed and unhappy. I feel like I lose either way.
I don't know what to do anymore. This dog creates so much tension between us that is unnecessary. I guess I just needed to vent how I feel. He knows it but offers no solutions. I've always said "no animals on the furniture" and that was agreed upon, but when I'm not around my older son tells me the dog is on the couch. Yet another thing this dog has ruined, my 4k dollar couch smells of dog and is all scratched. I feel it like no matter what happens with this dog, I'm going to be the bad guy. We had such a great marriage before this dog came into our lives.
Any advice?
