You can read back and see if I asked that. I simply asked if anyone has been in my shoes NOT what are your opinions on this topic and please "dog" me and my boyfriend. I wanted to know if someone was in a similar situation and how they worked it out. I just wanted to see if someone could relate to me. I didn't mean to turn everyone against me and think badly of me. |
I answered you, told you I had been in the same situation and I made a decision ... you did not ask me what that decision was, you merely asked me if I thought you should or should not try to "convince" him.
It is going to be one of two scenarios ...
1- you wimp out and give up the dogs and perhaps regret it
2- he will be "convinced" by you and give in, and perhaps he will regret it ..
make a decision and see what he does ... but stand by your convictions .. you do have some, yes???? You have 3 dogs....
what is the alternative? Make them backyard dogs, give them away, what will you do???
