Still in love with my dog

I have witnessed that some of us are still in love with our dogs. By dogs I am not referring to the domestic animal we have in our homes to chase away thieves, I am referring to that lover or ex you have that acted and still acts like a dog, by sleeping around with whomever, some increase the population with strangers and still come back to you. These are the characteristics of a dog our partners possess, but still we cannot let them go. I have been trough that ordeal and I am over it. Most of my friends were curious on how I did it; this is what I told them.

Firstly you must make a decision. I know that you still love the dog, but you must ask yourself this following question; do I really want to be with that dog? Does the dog deserve my love? Will my life be better without the dog? Yes it hurts to let go because you love the dog, but you cannot move on to the second stage if you cannot answer this question.

Secondly you must accept that what you are doing is a bad habit. You have witnessed personally even on television how hard it is to break out of a bad habit, such as drug addiction, sex addiction and even anger. There is always some sort of practise or exercise which helps someone to overcome their addiction. This also applies to the unconditional love you have for the dog. This love is a bad habit, because it does you no good. You must create an exercise plan which helps you overcome the bad habit, you can engage in a project that will keep you busy and later brings you fulfilment.

Lastly you must confront the dog. You can never overcome something unless you confront it. I have been told that if you are scared of something, you must face that thing in order to overcome your fear. What you must do is to write down the list of all the bad things the dog has done to you, and state to the dog how those things made you feel. When you are done say goodbye to the dog. Well! If this doesn’t help you, you can always take into consideration this option; take the dog to the South African protection service for animals (SPCA). They will know what to do with the dog.
