My husband is ignoring me

I keep sending him emails of dogs that are at a few local shelters and he has not responded to one email yet.  I know, he could actually be working and be busy, but I think he's just ignoring me.   All of a sudden, I miss having a dog and have been thinking about adopting one a lot lately.  I never thought I would be here again since we had such a rough time when our dog was sick for so long a year or so ago and had to be put to sleep.  I'm ready though. 

Obviously, he isn't and that's ok.

  • Aww how sad.

    Maybe he is just really busy?

    I think we may end up with a dog eventually. B absolutely loves dogs, she walks just about every dog in my neighborhood. I don't know who's kid she is.

  • Okay, now I feel like a jerk.

    My dh has been sending me emails of dogs, and I have been ignoring them. Embarrassed  We put our dog down last winter also, and he really wants to get another and I don't.  We have discussed it to death, and we don't agree, so now he thinks he can win me over by sending photos of adorable dogs.  So I am ignoring it.  I just really don't want a new dog and a new baby at the same time!

  • Oh man, I hope you guys can get on the same page (your page) soon!  I would be so sad without my dogs!  And how wonderful that you are looking at the shelters!
  • Hope you can talk about it tonight w/ him and see how he feels. Huge kudos for getting a shelter dog. We got both of our dogs from the shelter; I'm a big proponent of adopting shelter dogs.

    Don't feel like a jerk!  I know he is ignoring them, but its just because he's not quite there with it yet and doesn't want to tell me verbally "no".  I totally understand where he is coming from and how letting go of our other dog was especially hard for him since he had the dog before we met.  I'm sure your DH feels the same way and understands.  Plus, if we had a baby coming soon, I would never feel this way.  Ever.  Its just that I am now finally in a good place with the boys and I can see how much a dog would enrich all our lives.  When the time is right, you'll be there.  Once your DS is here, your DH will "get" why it was better to wait.
