My boyfriend, me and a cat.

I had a similar experience except it was about a dog. Several years ago my BF, who was working and I was not, wanted a dog. I was not an animal person and we didn't have extra money for feeding a dog. I told him if he thought he could manage the money for additional mouth, he would take care of the dog, and I didn't need to involve with the dog, then be my guest. Then we got a puppy. Since he was working and I stayed at home with the dog, we started bond to each other. Even though my BF cooked, bought toys, and gave love to our dog, our dog tended to be with me more than with my BF. Compromise is one of the keys to a successful relationship. From this experience my BF could learn from his mistake, but, on the other side, the outcome could change my point of view. The fact was I was the person who gained from the experience. If I have a chance to have a dog again, I would not mind.
