<v Speaker 1>on with us?

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Hi?

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>What's your question? What do you need to help with?

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Hi? Guys, I just have a question. So I was

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>together with my man for like five years and like

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>we've recently just broken up. And the whole issue is

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>we got a dog together. He did pay for the

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>dog at the time, but in that space we were together,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I was the one walking there. I was the one

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>feeding it, like I would say this, the one taking

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>care of the dog. So in the breakup. I took

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>the dog with me because I was like, I raised

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 2>him essentially.

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and now that we've broken up and he things

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 4>have come down a little bit.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>He has this idea that he can just come and

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 2>see our dog whatever he wants. So, like, I'll be

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>at work and he'll just text me and go, hey,

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I've just picked up the dog. We've gone for a

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 2>walk in cases in case we were not here when

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you come home. I feel a little uncomfortable by this.

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Wait, how does he get into your house? How does

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 3>he just pick the dog up my.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>House doesn't know who he is and goes, oh, yeah,

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>cool the dogs? About that?

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Listen, I've got an interesting take on this. I think

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it's okay if you're okay with an Oscar, Like if

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you two were at a point where you think you've healed,

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you've gotten over each other, then if it's essentially co parenting.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But do you feel your on your healing journey? Are

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you over him? Are you still wanting to see him

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that much?

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean not much, se icillly, it's still quite fresh.

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 4>It's been like, well, it's been like three or four

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 4>since we've broken up, and you know, I'm more than

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 4>happy for him to call me and go, hey, I

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 4>want to see I want to see Coco.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Can can? Like? Can you drop in here? Like? I'm

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>more than happy for that bit of communication. But do

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I really need to be okay with him turning up

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to my house and staying hard to my house mate

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and saying, hey, can I take Can I take Coco

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 2>for a walk? Or can I take him to my place?

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 2>I think without me being there?

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 5>No, Actually you don't have to be especially like if

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 5>you think of how long a dog lives for right,

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 5>it could live up for fifteen years.

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 3>It's a kid.

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's a long time for you to have this

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 5>shared communication and shared custod If you.

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Can co parent comfortably and it's not causing anyone anguish,

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 3>then go for it. But co parenting a dog just

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 3>sounds way too hard. The only thing I question is

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.359
<v Speaker 3>if he's only coming when you're not home. So, for example,

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 3>if he's like texting a housemate, if he picks a

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>dog up, drops the dog back before you get home

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>and you're none the wiser to it, are you okay

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>with that level of contact or is it more so

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 3>when he has to message you and then it upsets

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 3>your day.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'd be getting the free dog walker if you can.

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's what I thought. But a couple of

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>my friends were telling me that it shouldn't be like,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>it shouldn't be an issue. He should be free to

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 2>come and get his dog. But I just don't know.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 4>I think it's okay, Like I really think, you know,

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 4>and it's got nothing to do with payment, Like, I mean,

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 4>I raised the things, like I'm the one that taught

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 4>it how to do a good old fashioned toilet troop.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, I just feel like that there needs to be

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>some kind of communication. He's just not listening to me.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>You should just train it to like shit on his

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>leather goods, you know, just like training it to be

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a really spiteful dog. I don't know what's happened to

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Coco's habits, but he's gotten really bad recently.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 3>He's really acting out in the divorce and in the breakup.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Kids do that. I hope we can hope we can

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>help you there and co Coke can sleep it.

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't think of anything worse than co parenting a dog.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't it my parenting kids is so

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 3>hard for some people, co parenting a dog now just

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>get a new dog.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 5>My parents are dogs and I had to give it up. Really, yeah,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 5>you can't do it. You cannot do it.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Only for a period of time. There's always someone still

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 3>hanging on of the pet.

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Also, it's more than pets. Breakups are heard. I'm still

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>fighting over a smeake blender with my ex.

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Let him have the blender?

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Which wants to blender?

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Are you co parenting the blender? Now?
