It Never ENDS!

:(( So, I think I have the flu.  All weekend I was sweating in my 72 degree house wearing shorts and a tank top.  BF was over all weekend until he found out that his dog (the one him and his ex-wife share) was dying.  The vet just found lung cancer, and it had already spread by the time BF's ex-wife brought in the dog.  So, Sunday, the only day of the week we get to spend all day together, I dropped him off at 10:30am so he can hang out with his dog for (probably) the last time.  Maybe it's just me being sick and a little out of it, but I can't help feel a little bit of "hallelujah".  I mean, I am so sad for him, he was really broken up about this dog, he was crying!  But, the death of this dog also means that there is no longer any tie between him and her and I can't help feeling happy about that part. Which makes me feel like a total asshole. 

And now, I'm sitting at work, trying not look like I'm a sweaty mess (I don't have PTO and no one usually stops at my desk anyway, so I don't feel like I'm spreading anything), I want to crawl in bed and sleep.

    Holy shit whats in the water there that you keep getting sick!

    Also i totally dont think less of you about the dog thing. I would be the same way, and who knowd maybe once things are financially stable you two can adopt a new dog together.

    I have two dogs, he takes care if them like he took care of his dog when he was married. I feel like he's attached himself to my dogs because his ex kept his dog.

    Yeah, my xh stole some of my clothes. Not sure what the point of that was but you know. My ex was a special breed.

    I live with my ex, who is not my bd. He seems to have chosen a non-romantic relationship with me and a fathering role to my LO over his last gf. Which is incredible and really cool of him.

    He just had to drive five hours to rescue his ex's dog because her parents were abusing the dog and this girl is nuts and wouldn't protect the dog.

    I'm also hoping she goes away now that the dog issue isn't still out there. I know my ex considered the dog his and shes a good dog so I'm glad she's back.

    However it's really hard being home all day with my well-behaved dog, and his two rambunctious teenaged dogs. I'm 33 weeks along and miserable anyway.

    If it makes you feel any better, I'd still be at work with the flu, too.  Who wants to waste precious vacation days on sickness?  Besides, if I was sick I'd want DD at day care and as long as I had to get up to take her I might as well go to work anyway.  

    Sorry about your BFs pooch.  It's so sad to lose one.  I love mine to death but man am I sick of their hair.  They are both seniors and when they go, no more!  The cats are bad enough.  At least the dogs don't sleep in my clean clothes basket.

    P.S.  I hope it's not the flu and maybe just some 24 bug thing.  Either way, feel better soon!

    I dated a guy a few years ago who was divorced, and he and his ex-wife shared custody of their dog just like a child, for YEARS.  It never ended.  We are still friends, and they still do this.  So, going on 7 years of dog sharing.  I find it very strange.

    My ex and I have 2 cats. He has shown no interest in wanting them. 1 of them was really his cat.

    I wouldn't feel bad about seeing that relationship no longer have any ties. Losing a fur baby is hard, but I get where you're coming from.
