Broke up with girl I was dating briefly ~2 months, because she thought I talked about my dog too much. Guess she became jealous that I spent more time with my pet. She even said she feels like she has to compete with my dog ??!?! When I would take her out, on dates every weekend, so she said to not talk about my dog all the time. It got to apoint I had to break up with her because she got to be too much. I guess I just want to see if what you guys would also do in this situation.
Any insights ?

Date someone equally obsessed with their dog
She’s not your type and you aren’t hers. That’s okay. Like u/WaterVsStone said, find another dog parent.
I don’t know how many times you mentioned said dog. But it could be the case for any topic. If she was constantly talking about Star Trek you would go nuts at some point too. (Probably).
I mean there is sharing your enthousiasm for something and obsessivly talking about something. My wife plays Sax and I love her doing that, but we are not constantly talking about it.
I don’t know if that’s the case for you or not right!? Maybe you didn’t mention the dog that much but she thought you did anyway. Just saying!
You probably weren’t a good fit anyway! Did she have a cat? 😉
Good luck! And give the good boy/girl a good ear rub!
I broke up with a girl because she said my dog was entitled and would snub him. She was fucking hot and a fucking veterinary surgeon too.
This my friend is one of those scenarios where you dodged a bullet. The fact that she was jealous of your relationship with an animal tells you everything you need to know. Just be glad you found out about it only 2 months into the relationship, and not 5 years, a mortgage and 2.3 kids later
yeah, tell yourself it’s because she was ‘jealous’. it’s a lot easier than honesty
sounds like you did her a favor breaking up with her – saved her the trouble and wasting any more time waiting for you to pull your head ou……….. (which will NEVER happen)
Maybe she wanted some better conversations and not just dog all the time 🤣
How much were you talking about the dog?
Casual mentions once a day.
Did you talk about your dog a lot?
Good thing you broke up before you moved in together and she pretended to be allergic to the dog and insisted you get rid of it.
It’s not possible to talk about your dog too much
Hit the bricks chick
My dog is part of my life
I broke it off with a guy that told me when he visited my dog would not be allowed on the sofa. So. I think good riddance lol.
It was probably talk about the dog or your love of the ukulele. She got off easy.
Find a dog person. You’re not compatible enough. I doubt she finds you that attractive. Sorry find someone who into to you or dogs or both.
I have 2 cats. They are my babies, and I live my life to take care of them above all else. They were here before you came into my life, and they will be here after you are gone. I’m not going to stop talking about my cats, but if it bothers you that much…don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
Raj? Don’t let her treat Cinnamon like that.😆
Too bad for her and good for the dog .
I think other people are right about the two of you does not being compatible. But I also see it from her point of view. Let’s pretend that she was a very religious person and you were an atheist. And literally every time you met, she was mentioning God.I imagine that would get real old real fast for you. As others have said, find another dog person who also enjoys talking about them. Nobody’s in the wrong here.
You and this girl simply weren’t compatible. That’s ok. No need to overthink it.
She’s not that into dogs and that’s ok, you guys are not compatible.
She is not the girl for you.
If she feels like she is in competition with your dog, that could get really ugly if the relationship progressed.
You’re better off not dating someone who resents your dog.
You’re not compatible. Just find someone else who puts their dog first.
