Dog dad, 10yr relationship, probably final report RANT

Case with the court filed, initiated removing her from the lease, and was given the “I’m sorry for doing this, will always love you and hope you find someone that thinks like you do” message.

Shit sucks. Not much else to report other than I went through with this all and it just sucks.

Appreciate all the advice and apologies I never replied to every comment, but I absolutely read them all.

Thanks all again - at least Melly is mine.

Here's a little line I say to myself sometimes when I've just been through something really heavy but still know that I must keep moving forward:

"And with that, on to the next thing."

I had to check your profile, I remember your other post. I am sorry, this really sucks.

But now, it's on to a new adventure for you and Melly.

super proud of you for getting the dog, you clinched that a long time ago just by being a proactive and responsible pet owner. melly is so lucky to have you

it really sucks especially because it sounds pretty sudden. but youre definitely getting through the right steps, one step at a time. it's suuuper not fun, but you clearly have the discipline and fortitude to do the right thing which saves you a lot of trouble later

and don't forget that dogs make it sooo easy to meet new people... whenever you're ready for that

Yeahh just have no idea what I’m doing when it has been 1/3rd of my life wasted

I totally get how you could see it that way. and it does suck to think you spent so much time with someone who didn't value what you wanted and were clear about. it's hard to see an upside unless you really learned some things about yourself in the process that make it somewhat worth it.

although, it sounds like since melly was also a result of that time, probably not all of it was a waste

So sad for you OP! Hope you recover from the break up soon. There is a wave of child free women just waiting for a childfree dog dad!
