So I’ve been talking about getting a dog for at least 5 years now. I’ve always wanted to raise a puppy and be a dog mom and have a special relationship with my dog. And now I finally adopted a puppy! She’s so cute and I love her already. My boyfriend of 2 years has asked if he can be the ‘father’. I wasn’t really even sure what that meant but he says he would basically help raise her. Also, we don’t live together. So I know this is weird but I don’t know how I feel about that. I’ve waited so long to get my child and now I don’t want to share. I know it sounds selfish... The thing that is most off putting is he’s mentioned multiple times that it’s fair if the owner does not get to keep the dog if they are not the primary caretaker. Which is reasonable however it makes me feel if I let him coparent he would fight for custody even though he knows that I had the dog first and she was mine originally. If I lost my dog I would be so hurt and pissed. Anyways I’m not sure if I’m overthinking or if I’m being too protective or territorial.
