Wow! Join the party! We're on the same boat but the only difference is I live with my fiance.
She used to smother me until I got her a puppy last year in order to ease off some of her excessive smothering me. Little did I know, that would backfire on me! Now the dog is her everything!
He even sleeps in our bed and our sex life has declined quickly and drastically. I've talked to her about it but she seems to get defensive and makes excuses. I don't know what to tell you but I imagine the situation is tougher on you because you don't live with your girlfriend so you rarely even see her now.
You can begin to distance yourself from her with less frequent calls and/or texts. She'll notice that she's not hearing as much from you anymore then she'll reach out. When she expresses her concern to you as far as why you're not in much contact with her, DON'T bring up the dog.
Just let her know that you feel she hasn't had time for you lately since she hasn't communicated with you very much lately, or hasn't even attempted to spend time with you. Before you begin distancing yourself, you can even call her and tell her that you're going to give her time for herself that you think she needs. Perhaps she'll come around to her senses otherwise she'll find herself alone and only with her dog.
Best wishes!
Or maybe she using the dog as an excuse and she mightbe pushing away, I don't know thats the first thing came to my mind. My advice to you, go take a visit and it could be at the house of hers and tell her how you feel and thats the best way for you to know.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
