I wish my dog was like the one Barney had in the last episode of How I Met Your Mother. He was a total babe magnet.

Me too haha and the dog was a total player as well. But in all seriousness back when I only had one dog she was always kinda sad but when I brought another dog home she cheered up because she had a companion for when I wasn't at home.

You're both gonna have to make a hard decision about the dog. When me and my ex first seperated we did this ridiculous sharing thing - one week her then one week me. It was fucked and it just strung out the heart ache. In the end I said "either you take him or I will but once you decide, we can't see each other anymore"

I took the dog.

I agree with Dean. However, you should definetly get a new dog; if she ends up with the current one. In fact, maybe start fresh and get a new dog, (I don't know how attached you are.) Personally, I can't imagine life without a dog. Hell, EVERYONE should have a dog. They improve quality of life by like, a buh-billion. Also, there's always single ladies w/ dogs at the Bark Park or whatever. Just don't date a woman with a chihuahua...for obvious reasons.

I love my dog insanely much. It was my idea to get him. I work from home and during most of the day, he's laying next to my desk in his bed. I often take breaks through to day to play with him - especially when it's a stressful day.

I highly doubt that she is going to want to keep him. She hasn't even bothered to ask how he is since she left.

I'm really worried about logistics, though. We just bought this house 3 years ago and have a lot of the mortgage left to pay off. I'm not sure either of us will be able to afford to buy the other person out. So, we'll likely both need to move into apartments or rent a townhouse or something after we sell the house. Most of these places don't allow dogs. My heart is already so broken, I don't think I could handle giving him up.

I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I come to it. Whenever I start thinking too far ahead, about how much I'm going to lose, I start to get overwhelmed. She told me when she left that she would contact me this Saturday to discuss some logistical things. I have a feeling that is going to be a horrible day, but at least I should have some answers (hopefully) after that.

Hm. Sounds like the dog is definetly yours. What a pain. Hang in there. Have you thought about what you might say this weekend? You should probably 'man up' a bit and make sure you know what to say and what NOT to say. If it were me, I'd definetly say something wrong. Whatever you do, don't ask her back. Do not ask for a hug, or any silly shit like that. Stay objective and on topic. Don't give her any indication that you can't make it w/ out her. She will respect this. Be strong. You can do this shit!

“No pets” clauses, even if you agree to them, are invalid by law.

Not to compound your misery, but go see a lawyer before you go to meet with her - even if you plan on an amicable separation agreement.

Things that need to be addressed:

Short term arrangements regarding who lives where for how long. I think in Canada you will have to separate for one year unless there are specific grounds;
Allocation of equity in the house and obligation for the mortgage (as you pointed out);
Potential interests you might have in each other's retirement, investment and bank accounts;
Interests either of you might hold in businesses;
Spousal support (if there is a disparity in incomes);
Division of other marital property;
Allocation of marital debt;
Who gets the dog.

Go ahead and start gathering up all of your financial records. You will need them.

A Canadian lawyer can help you point in the right direction - particularly if you have to be separated for a year until you can actually be divorced....Ugh.

You're welcome.

Someone set up this meet-up. It's a shame the earlier Toronto meet-up sorta fell through, let's definitely do this one! (We can also congratulate SnD for being 2nd sexiest KATG girl!)
