A Puppy Saved My Marriage
My husband always said that he did not want a dog in our household. “Me or the dog” he would say. When we separated in the summer of 2018, I did some quick research and impulsively found a puppy that could come home to me a month later. I wasn’t sure what my husband Adam would say but I knew I had always wanted a dog. Now that the children were mostly grown it was time to do what I wanted for a change. There was a part of me that was mad our situation had come to this and I wanted to draw a line in the sand. I would no longer be stifled. I would have a say. The puppy was a huge step for me – we had always made all the decisions together in our marriage – even small things like what bathroom rug to get or the throw cushions for the couch. This was the first time I had made a major purchase without talking about it and agreeing, first.
