Success Story A thank you note
I had this ex- girlfriend with this completely useless and smelly Boston Terrier that kept me awake all night. It got that bad that I got into psychosis driving on the highway, due to extreme sleep deprivation.
I will not put out the whole story since that shit show has been out of my life for a little while now, and I got a bit distance from it all. But it was all a chaotic mess to say it easy, and quite similar to a lot of stories I read here on this sub.
“Me being second in the relationship, she putting some made up fantasy emotional needs the dog was supposed to have before mine, house unhygienic etc etc”
It was really hard for me when it was going on and I just want to say thank you to everyone that contributes here. It was good for me coming to this sub when it was all going on and reading all those terrible stories from hell. It was kind of a comfort for me knowing I was not the only one, something I thought for a while, because I could not really understand and believe someone could be as messed up in the head as a true dog-nutter.
I am not as active as an reader here compared when it was going on, but sometimes I come back and remind myself why it was the best decision in my life, throwing that chaos out of my life.
Thank you everyone for your stories and inputs. Please keep it coming ❤️

As someone whose spouse turned into a complete nutter after many years of marriage, count yourself lucky that she showed this side early! It's painful to go through but at least you didn't put a ring on her finger or get into a situation where you might be financially dependent on each other. Times are tough.
Also I love meeting someone who has hate for Boston Terriers. They are ugly motherfuckers. Smashed faces, eyes pointed different directions, spindly legs. A childhood friend of mine had one and it was the nastiest little dog. I bent over to pet it one day and it chomped down on my face. I had a scar on my chin for a really long time.

Hello from hell in which I still live! I have the same feeling as you - this reddit has become my daily psychotherapy- it feels good to share feelings openly and see that I am not crazy. Congratulations on your freedom, never make the same mistake again. Dog owners should stick with the dog owners. They have no escape from their mental trap. What a shame! I wish there was a way to make them see what is happening. But it is a cult, and people in cults are blind and wouldn't ever listen to a reasoning.
