Ok...sooOOo..I've had my baby Bella for the past few months when she was 8 wks old and i think it's affecting my relationship with my bf. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bella sooo much and he just doesnt understand. I'm a nurse and work nightshift at the hospital so he watches her while i'm at work. And I do get worried because he keeps telling me to treat her like a "DOG" and he uses her crate as punishment while she's potty training. I hate it. He never pets her or gives her any love anymore. I come home and there's NO water or food. I'm so sick of it. She's just a baby and potty training and he doesn't understand. He just complains about how much the apt smells and how much of a brat she is. All we do is argue now cause he doesnt seem to understand or even hear me. I dont know if it's cause she has most of my attention now or what. Is it jealousy or is he just plain mean. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm sooo protective of Bella and it would KILL me if anyone ever mistreated her.
