Boyfriend question....

[Akina]

I just start dating this guy for about 2 months now.
He likes Momiji(see attached picture) but now he tells me there are few things that bothers him.
He said I'm too attached to my dog that he feels he isn't getting attention from me, doesn't want to sleep on the bed with her, and can't stand I talk baby talk with her.
I am VERY attached with my dog.
I agree that she should sleep on her bed, not mine.
I can't help talk baby with her, she IS my baby.
Am I so wrong or crazy????

[Yorkieluv]

No, you're not wrong or crazy We're all very attached to our babies. There's nothing wrong with a dog sleeping in your bed unless of course you don't want her to. Your yorkie is a member of your family...of course you're going to be attached to her! LOL That's just common sense
It sounds like he's jealous of her and he probably just needs to get over it. She'll win him over Yorkies usually do. I don't think he should tell you not to talk to your dog a certain way, she's your dog
Good luck!! This must be very frustrating for you.

I forgot to post picture but I don't have a picture that is small file size....
I'm sad he can't accept who and how I am.
I will try to speak normal but I can't promise him I will never talk baby talk with her.
I'll try to train her to sleep off my bed, and I'll try to give my attention to him as much as I can but I just love her sooo much that I can't promise him 100%.
After that, it is up to him what he wants.
Too bad, I really like him....

It sounds to me like he is jealous of your relationship with her and that is not a good sign in a relationship. If you want her to sleep on your bed then he should be fine with it. I mean she's a doll how could he not love her like you do? There may be problems later on with him since you love your baby so much, he might not be able to take it. If it were me he would be out the door lol but that's just me I love my babies too much and my bf knows that.

Hmm...your dog will never leave you, betray you or criticize you. Their love is
unconditional! My furballs are my "HAPPY" in life plain and simple. If my husband of 28 years said something like that to me I would say "see ya
don't let the door hit you in the behind on the way out." Don't change who
you are for anyone else. Not being able to talk to your baby the way you
want or have her sleep with you seems a bit extreme to me where expectations are concerned. It's nice that he's so open where his feelings
are concerned but your feelings need to count too.

Personally, how a person treats animals is a scale I use on a more deeper level of how that may transfer to relationships w/ people.....for me, it sends up red flags for his ability to feel compassion, jealousy, caring, understanding, warmth,
etc. etc. especially if I hear the words, " It's only a dog!"....that statement would be very telling for me...be careful & move slowly

[red98vett]

LOL Those are silly reasons to have issues and I hope he gets over it...tell him there's way bigger things in life to worry about than you talking baby talk to your yorkie LOL

My ex had those same issues and said I spoil the puppies more than most people spoil their kids and he didn't think that was right. Note I said 'ex' - LOL!

LOL !!!

I would kick him to the curb, if he is barking demands now, just wait!

[chattiesmom]

Chances are he won't change. You have two clear choices -- accept and live with the man or move on. If it were me I'd move on.

If you plan on making this boyfriend permanete, I might worry about some of his issues. All 3 of ours sleep with us, & it has cute down on the cuddling at night. If you know what I mean. They sleep between us & it's hard to even get a goodnight kiss without them being right up there getting theirs. Hubby says "just shut them out of the room," but I hear them scratching at the door which ruins the mood for me. We are older, so we plan our intimate nights around our furbabies.

[Ozzie'sperson]

My dog has never:

1) Cheated on me with another woman
2) Criticized my choice of clothing, music, or friends
3) Asked if I'd put on a few pounds or cared if I did
4) Called me to make sure I'm really where I said I'd be

I have, however, had a man do ALL those things (and not even all from the same man!) So, I'd say stick with your dog. If I had only done that when I was younger, I could have saved myself a whole lot of trouble!

[JeanieK]

You need to find a man that is compatible. Don't settle for any guy thinking that he will change or that you can change.

A guy might roll his eyes and think you goofy, but it should not be an issue with him.

If he is that jealous and controling over a dog, what would he be like with a baby?

[Betty'sMom]

Ugh...I vote for Momiji. Hit the road, Jack...
