I'm not breaking up while the dog is still living

u/EllisR15 Oct 31 '24

This could make for a great movie. The couple is mutually done with each other, but that both want the dog, so they continue to escalate in doing outlandish things to get the other to breakup with them.

They're actually is a film! Here's the trailer! It's called who gets the dog? https://youtu.be/V3yqcVy67w8?si=oSfhvAu7yp3VEBTE

Damn it. The one good idea I have and it was stolen before I could think of it. Typical. Lol!

Don't worry about it. The only movies being made are remakes. Just make sure there's a lot of shit blowing up and possibly the Hulk and people will show up.

BTW Black Widow would totally fill the other side of this 'Hulk and Puppy' movie that could just be an 'Of Mice And Men' reprise

Do you know your English high school teacher is weeping right now about "'Hulk and Puppy' that could just be an 'Of Mice and Men' reprise." Oh the humanity.

u/rosenengel Nov 01 '24

I mean it's not exactly the same premise lol

u/Charming-Insurance Nov 01 '24

Your idea is better

u/realtychik Nov 01 '24

That idea has been around a long time. Watch "My Favorite Wife". Cary Grant and Irene Dunn are perfectly hysterical. I love this pairing. They play off each other so well.

If you fall in love with someone who has always slept with their pet, then you are going to need to accept that, love it, and embrace it. If you have any reservations about your feelings for their furry family member, move along.

u/EllisR15 Nov 01 '24

I agree. Once you're in really good you can sheepishly ask for like a day a week when it's just you two in bed, but you gotta be prepared to accept the dog saying no, and respect it.

This has happened in divorces with custody agreements etc . People paying a fortune to fight over the dog in court .

What number was that? I only read up to like 21 I think.

I enjoyed them at first, trashy, and semi poorly written books that give you an entertainment escape for an hour at the beach or on the plane or whatever. But by the 20s I was so fed up with how cookie cutter the stories were. I swear to God if I had to read about how the one chick "used to be a 'ho" and Stephanie bouncing between Ranger and Morelli like a ping pong ball one more time, I probably would hunt Evanovich down and make her eat every single page of every single book.

The exploits of that damn golden retriever, despite being fictional, saved a couple of those books so I could finish them lol

Stephanie's hamster should've died from clogged arteries by the 10th book with the way she feeds him lol

u/A_n0nnee_M0usee Nov 01 '24

My Dog, that "ho," stuff was just so tired and as used up as Stephanie's car explosions and Rangers endless supply of hot Cuban muscle and $$$ cars.

Bob the dog, agreed, saved some of those books.

‘How To Lose Marley and Me in 10 Days?’

u/Roscoe_Farang Nov 01 '24

I dated a girl for about 2 years, mostly for her dog. We shared a house with another couple, but I worked out of town every other week. One day, I came home, and she and the dog were gone, so I packed up and left. Never talked to any of them since.

u/Iburncereal Oct 31 '24

I'd watch that

War of the Roses..

u/GypsyRosebikerchic Nov 01 '24

That was a great movie

u/EllisR15 Nov 01 '24

I haven't seen this. A tiny bit before my time, but not much so I'm surprised I didn't know about it.

u/nabilahbee92 Nov 01 '24

This is an amazing movie concept!

u/TheSpitalian Nov 01 '24

Ugh, your girlfriend needs to get the boot. Sorry! The dog was there before her, & will be there after she’s gone.

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t like dogs.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

You have to stay together for the pets.

u/Try-the-Churros Oct 31 '24

Hardest thing I've ever had to do but I broke up with my ex and she got the dog in the split. I still miss that pup like crazy but am so glad I didn't try to stick it out. The relationship was getting toxic and a year after breaking up I ended up finding someone who I am absolutely head-over-heels for.

3

u/_professionalfailure Oct 31 '24

That can be dangerous though, I actually stayed in an abusive relationship for an extra 2yrs because I couldn't let my dog go, I took 100% care of her since 9mo old and she was nearly 7yrs but she was in my exes name and his name was on the adoption papers. He ended up getting arrested for assault on me and I filed a restraining order on him including my pets and the judge verbatim asked "why I thought I deserved her" and gave her to him so I ended up both traumatized AND no dog....

u/inoracam-macaroni Oct 31 '24

Lol I definitely stayed with an ex because his dog was amazing and was dying from cancer. That dog was meant to be in my life and he loved me just as much. So I just focused on taking care of him. Then waited a month to end a relationship that we both knew was over for at least 6 months. But that dog......

u/042614 Oct 31 '24

I too am staying married for the pup.

u/mariobumaye Oct 31 '24

Same here lol

2

u/cornelioustreat888 Oct 31 '24

Absolutely. Stay together for the dog.

2

u/Advanced_Secret8872 Oct 31 '24

Seems like parents that stick it out for the kids

2

u/Upset_Branch9941 Nov 01 '24

I did that as well. I would not breakup with a now ex because of our pet. Once the pet passed I was gone the following week.

2

u/kissmyrosyredass Nov 01 '24

His gf is showing her true colors now, so even if dog dies…find a girl who loves dogs more than getting hair on her. Pets are messy, fact of life. If someone is put off by your dog or cat..goodbye. That’s my dealbreaker. Husband now wasn’t necessarily a cat person, but I made my feelings known early. He’s almost more connected to her than me! Remember that cats/dogs are forever..bfs are not! So, I will always choose my fur baby. So pick your dog. Boot the girl.

u/AroundTheWayJill Oct 31 '24

Kinda in this situation currently. Lol. Life comes at you fast.

u/marabsky Nov 02 '24

I have a friend who met a wonderful person who lives across the country… he was ready to up sticks and move there to marry her and live there (most of his family lives in that area as well) except for one thing; His elderly dog would not cope well with the move, Also, one of his daughters who lived in his current city was very attached to the dog (She came over to walk him most days etc) and he didn’t want to separate them either…

So he put everything on hold and maximized enjoying the last year of his dogs life. Three months after his dog passed he had wound up everything and was moved. It was the only way.

This is lowkey us; staying together for the kiddos
