My ex bf and I were together for 6 years and adopted a puppy 3 years into our relationship. We decided to part ways agreed to share custody of the dog. He works outside and runs errands for work and she rides along all day and he is a great dog dad. I worked in a hospital where I was gone most of the day so I didn't want her to have to be home alone all day if She could be enjoying herself with her dad. She loves both of us and she is like my daughter so I refuse to let her go.
It has been 3 years since we broke up and he is married now and lives further away. I am in a relationship and we have adopted a pitbull who is attached to my first dog. He mopes around for a couple days when I take her back to her father.
We have no formal agreement and everyone us telling me to just take her. She is in my name and I take her regularly to the vets and give her her regular. It's getting difficult with planning pick up and drop off times ever week. I don't know if I'm being selfish for wanting this arrangement to end bc it's stressful now that he lives farther away? I do want her to have her dad too but we both have completely moved on except for sharing the dog. She will be 7 this year.
I guess I'm being a coward and Im not standing up for what I want. (My ex has always had that effect on me). I'm afraid he will start this huge fight and turn it into something even more stressful.
TL;DR ex and I split after 6 years and adopting a puppy. Puppy is now 7 yrs old and for the last 3 years we have been sharing custody of her (rotating weeks). It's too stressful with the arrangement and I want her but he will fight me on it. What should I do?
