 Well...
I didn't start getting dogs until I'd been away from my husband for a few months.
I did have the thought that we would get back together, so for the first dog, we talked about it, but he kept finding reasons to put off getting a dog.
So, I went out and got Kali (Japanese Chin) and just suprised the kids with her. She was lonely without her littermates, so I started looking for another dog. When I found Jennie at our local shelter, I just called to let him know I'd gotten another dog. With Allie Bear (Yorkie), I just had him ride with me to get her. Once he saw her, he fell in love with her.
My husband is the type to "show" support in the beginning, but then completely show his butt in an argument. So in the end, it didn't matter to me what he thought since we no longer live together and since we're not getting back together, it really doesn't matter.
Though a couple of days ago he went into a long diatribe about me and not including him in my decisions. I just hugged and kissed my kids and dogs and didn't think another thing about him lol.
I'd try the getting two more thing too. |
