I'm not asking for much, just for the dog to be on the floor and for my boyfriend to give me a bit more attention than he gives the dog!

Question - (5 May 2012) 4 Answers - (Newest, 5 May 2012)
A female Australia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I love my boyfriend to bits, but I feel like he doesnt appreciate me. Now we are both students and are very broke have no money, he has a part time job so gets a bit more than me.

He drops me off to my house one day and I ask if he would like to see me later. He just says he will see me another time as he had no gas to come get me. Turns out that very day he has been driving all over town and seeing his mates etc. So he has gas to go do all this but not see his gf?? I have started giving him money for gas so he doesnt have the excuse of not having gas to see me. Is this wrong? I mean he earns more than me and only lives a 4 minute drive from me?

Also he has just gotten a puppy. Before he got it I told him there is no way that Im having a dog sleeping in my bed. But he refuses to put it on the ground!! I told him that its me or the dog in the bed, and he goes "well I guess I wont see you for a while then". Its driving me crazy! I go to see him at his house every single night, and he cant even acknowledge that Im there, hes too busy playing with the dog on the bed.

I have given up about the dog on the bed thing for the sake of our relationship as it was causing a lot of fights, but when the dog jumps all over me the whole time Im there and when Im trying to sleep it wakes me up throughout the night and super early every morning. Its just getting to be too much to handle, and he cant even listen to what I have to say! He just gets mad back at me and says Im the one being stupid. Im not asking for much, just the dog to be on the floor and for him to give me a bit more attention than the dog.

My question is, if you were in my position would you be angry too?

So_Very_Confused agony auntI'd not have a boyfriend like him.

1. he can afford a dog but not the gas to come see you

2. he is not as into you as you are into him

3. the dog and his friends come first

so my advice

stop rowing your relationship boat... see what happens.

do not give him money for gas or other things

do not just go over to his place to hang out instead he has to ask you to do things with him.

do not ask him to do things or make plans

see what happens... my bet is that you don't hear from him till he's horny.

Honeypie agony auntI wouldn't give him gas money, but take toe bus to his place every now and then? or meet up places.

I wouldn't sleep over either. Though I DO love animals, I rather get a good 6-8 hours sleep.

And last but not least, I think I would rather be single then be with a guy who puts his friends and his dogs before me.

xAx agony auntWow, he obviously doesn't care about you. I suggest not letting him treat you like this and getting a new boyfriend that respects you.

Tisha-1 agony auntIf I were in your position, I'd be looking for a new boyfriend, keeping my money to take myself out and not giving it to anyone to waste on gas. He's made it perfectly clear where you stand in his priorities. The question really is, why are you sticking around as he demonstrates it again and again?
