22F dating 22M for almost a year now. We’ve been living together for a couple months now and he has a dog from a previous relationship. His ex wants nothing to do with the dog (ie does not ask to see him or take him for a couple of days). Every time I look at him I can’t help but think about his ex. I do not want him to choose between me or his dog because if I was him I’d choose my dog. I just don’t know how to stop thinking about his ex every time I look at the dog. I try to play with him but I just dont feel anything towards the dog. Ive had dogs before and they were my babies but I just don’t feel anything towards the dog. I just think it’s because he’s not my dog and he’s not as well trained as my previous dogs that also adds onto it. How do I stop thinking about his ex while living with his dog?
TLDR: need advice on how to stop thinking about his ex while living with his dog that he basically raised with his ex. Do things get better?
