He is already trying to be controlling of you by trying to get you to change how you are. I think that most men want you to give them more attention than you give to anything else. My husband even got jealous of Hannah at first, but now he loves her just as much as I do and he talks baby talk to her too. I would just tell him that you care for your dog like someone would care for their child and if he can't accept that then you need to move on. Don't let him make you feel like you are wrong or stupid for acting the way you do because it is perfectly ok to love your dog that much. Some people who are not dog lovers or who don't have the compassion that we do will try to have you believe that "we" are crazy and that is not normal-but they are wrong, not us. Some of my friends and family act like I am crazy but htey don't have dogs and so they don't know how attached you can get to them. |
