After six and a half years things just weren’t working out.
Dog tax. His name is Zeus and he is about my only friend. ****edit**** you can follow me on Snapchat at “the-wyo” I post pics of Zeus on the regular, plus adventures I/we go on.

I left my abusove alcoholic boyfriend of 5 years. I got to keep all parental responsibilities, but did not get to keep the dog :(
unapologetic05
Stay strong sister. ❤ You're worth it!
anon9ine
I feel you bro. 13 years ending as we speak. Two doggos and they are coming with me. Wouldn't have it any other way. Stay strong brother.
radioactivecowbus
Dogs are better anyhow
The307
For sure!!

I got my dog with the divorce. He asked for him later. I got debt and the dog when I left, he was not getting the dog. He's the best boy.
DrzBa42
No worries. You only need Zeus.
peaceloveandgraffiti
My only friend is my cat, Luna. Honestly, I prefer animals as friends vs. humans. Let's be real here.
The307
Agreed. Animals are the best
SickBound
I left my boyfriend of 8 years...I asked if he wanted to keep any pets..he kept all of them.
The307
Ouch. I’m sorry :(
SickBound
It's okay I couldn't bring any of them with me anyway, since I was technically homeless for about half a year, no place for a cat and dog.
FlatPlutoSociety
Aw. Breakups suck, but that poor pup. He lost one of his people and he doesn't know why. :(
The307
yah, its sad.
Shyak88
I had the reverse... And I miss the dogs more then the relationship.
SleeperXib
Same. I lost a true wonderdog.
MikaCvijet
Where I live, a dog carries the name of the specific person who adopted it. If someone tries taking it, you can call the police because it's
MikaCvijet
2) theft of personal property. Is this not common practice? Genuinely curious, because I'm confused by how often I see these posts.
prismbear
he looks like the most perfect dog ever
Someoneisinmyhead
What kind of dog is that? He looks like a really good dog.
The307
Husky. Doesn’t look it, but he is.
prismbear
it looks like he's got a little bit of collie mixed in there no?
The307
He could honestly. The lady told us he is a husky. We’ve always said he was a husky. And always knew he wasn’t full blooded husky :P
Tarzaninseattle
I invested 11.5 years. Then...Poof. Fml. At least he got to keep the dog. Cheers to you my friend.
amandakeeparound
I just left an abusive relationship and didn't get to keep the dog. trying to not be bitter... not working
The307
:( I’m sorry
amandakeeparound
Aw thanks, it's been the hardest part of moving on. I'm in a much better mood than I was while posting, happy for you and your pupper ❤️
The307
I’m glad your mood has improved, and I wish you the best on your adventures!
MintMission
Currently in a relationship. This is the kind of stuff that scares the crap out of me.
Thejimmyjams
When my ex and I broke up, I let them keep the house, the car, and anything they wanted, as long as I got to keep our dogs. Worth it!
The307
Yah, id thought about it before, but never in depth. worked out well for me, maybe it will for you also one day (if you have to)

Wait, the dog has a jeep?

Why would a dog have a Jeep?
silentwolf1999
Replace jeep with truck and dog with cat

I’m pretty confident I’ll survive.
Speldrawng
Just remember that Zeus has feelings too, and he may miss her even if you don't.
The307
Understood 100%. She can visit if she wants.
Speldrawng
Glad to hear it.
vaspap
You sound like a super reasonable dude
The307
I try. He was her dog also. She is more than welcome to come see him and or borrow him for a day
Darkonz
Give him the treats

This is a rare victory. Cherish it my friend

This! My ex-fiance stole my cat >_<
AlwaysUpvotePizza
i lost a similar battle. treat that good boy right.
The307
I am! I got lucky, Ida fought for him tooth and nail. Luckily I didn’t have to though
ilovecake
In my divorce I got the cat. Only thing I cared about. Enjoy your puppers!
RickMorty
Did she just give him up to you?
The307
Eh, she said I could have him since I’m the one who does everything with him
ExtraaUpvote
You got extremely lucky and please give many belly rubs to that beautiful creature for me.
SexuallyAwkwardDonkey
At least she doesn't sound like a bitch, welcome back to single club OP
The307
She isnt a bitch by any means. She was cool, it just wasnt working out and i didnt want to waste anymore of her or my own time
ICantBelieveItsNotGif
That's awesome, sounds like the breakup wasn't too ugly :)
Conflict
Notice no pics of the humans. It could have been very ugly.
TehBox0rz
Oof. That’s a lot of invested time gone... glad you got to keep the dog
LaoZ
Damn broke up with mine on our 2nd anniversary
NoIdidntsayAbeLincolnIsaidHeyBlinkin
Sunk cost fallacy. To quote Shelby from Steel Magnolias, "I'd rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothin special"
triSARAtopswasalreadytaken
I'm still upset about the 1.5 years I invested into my last relationship...so glad it wasn't this long...I didn't get the dog though...
The307
Me too!!!!
ittybittywitty
"invested time" sounds so bitter. Maybe they had a great time together and split as friends.
TehBox0rz
How often does that actually happen though.. like really
Scuttlebutte
Read it somewhere that if you can be friends with your ex you never really loved them. My experience says this is true.
TehBox0rz
Maybe, or maybe you magically grow apart in the same ways and no one is hurt.. but that sounds very unlikely to me...
dasmoons
I'm that way too. It's like I spent all this time and money on building this structure, but the foundation wasn't solid and it crumbles.
anon9ine
Sunk cost fallacy. What is gone is gone and should not influence your decision making on what is right for you now and going forward.
Swifferwetjets
When my friends break up with their SO's I just think of that too. "That is like.... A year lost!" Maybe that is why I will die alone. ????

"investing time" ffs, who thinks like that even. Its just living life doing things. If you're enjoying it at the moment, that's what matters
wheresbricks12
Now that's smart person talking
ICantOdd
Social/Relationship psychologists...
JapAnus
It's technically correct. Nothing is free as there is always an opportunity cost. Time is an investment that you hope to get a return 1/2
JapAnus
out of, most people just dress up the words so it sounds romantic
ScrippyChan
I have a friend who was with her boyfriend for ten years before he decided he was tired of her. Kinda fucked her up.
LukewarmBeans
Nope. Can't trust anything ever after thag.
lovinlampard
Just recently left my GF of 7 years. Sometimes you can enjoy being with someone but find yourself unable to take the next step. Life is hard
ScrippyChan
I don't think a "next" step is requisite to a successful, happy relationship.
lovinlampard
It is when that is what your partner desires after a long time together, and if you cannot give them that then what else is there to do?
ScrippyChan
Well, you must be fair to all parties: if you weren't interested in marriage (which is perfectly reasonable) you ought to have... (1)
ScrippyChan
...made that clear from the beginning, or exceptionally near the beginning. That's not a conversation you back burner. (2)
Tarzaninseattle
I did 11 years. Then she got tired of me.
okiedokeartichoke
Ok. “Wife” is significantly different than “girlfriend”.
Tarzaninseattle
True.
okiedokeartichoke
I feel like it wasn’t you she got tired of. It was waiting for you to make a commitment she got tired of... and everything else followed.
Tarzaninseattle
We were married for 4 of those 11 years.
ScrippyChan
I would say being involved for eleven fucking years is pretty goddamn committed.
ScrippyChan
Why?
Tarzaninseattle
4 of those years we were married. She told me she wanted to be with someone else. That she got tired of having me around.
ScrippyChan
Had your sex life gone to pot?

Dude, you have a dog and a Jeep. Life is good. There’s another girl who will recognize how awesome you are.
The307
Thank you. Honestly. Life is pretty solid at this point.
JakeRockwell
Let’s here about that Jeep though...
The307
2012 jeep wrangler sport, 4 door, maroon, 52in light bar across the roof. Ive got the lift, rims and tires picked out for it.
