should we throw away the things our exes give us to respect our new partner?
my ex gave me a fluffy dog toy that i like hugging it to sleep every single night. this bothers my current boyfriend a lot - sometimes he would push it away and say "get this dog away from my face". he would tell me to give it away to charity. i have moved on from my ex, but the dog is so cute that i didn't want to trash it. what should i do?
p. s. my current boyfriend also has a wallet that his ex gave him - he said that he is planning to throw it away but he wants to use it a bit more since it is in good condition. should i let him keep it/ buy a new one for him? thoughts?
ahhh fuck, my ex helped me buy a bit of my car, guess i should just saw off the roof or take out a wheel so that my next girlfriend doesn't get jealous over my very materialistic need.that said, it's kinda ridiculous to expect someone to throw away an object just because it belonged or was given by an ex.ask yourself, what would happen if you threw this fluffy toy away and was gifted another one, perfectly identical to it, by your current boyfriend, would that change anything? it's kind of a selfish request at this point. there's no use getting all pant up over an useful object just because it has a past.
I cannot speak for MD law. However, The agreement, as you state it, requires a return if you cannot keep it. sounds like a new adoption, and a fee required for same, but not from you. 


They seem to be claiming that the $500 donation should not have been returned, and that you owe that money to them. As for attorney fees, those are usually not recoverable unless stated in a contract.


You need to contact a reputable, Animal Lawyer, or one that handles contract cases.


Michael Rotsten, Esq. plz don't break your relationship... bcoz now u have more responsibilities than before... u have 2 maintain your relationship vth both your hubby and your kid.. treat your hubby also like your baby. give equal importance to both. do wt ever he likes and try to love him more than before. You know this question could be answered either way. "Yes, he might be", or "no he really cares". Let's assume he likes talking with you and seeing you at the visitation. He likes that you are showing him attention. There is a chance that this relationship can grow beyond where it would have if he was out. Maybe you get to know each other better and he becomes more into you. Life is too short, you have to let this play out.


I'm sure you have great instincts (your inner feeling already knows), you have to trust yourself enough to make the right decision. Give it some time, try not to be too hard on yourself. He might be a rascal and a dirty dog too, but I vote for giving it a try and see how it plays out. You are in control of this relationship and every inmate knows this fact. Since the inmate loses control of what goes on in the outside world and he will often try to keep that control over the phone or letters. Just trust yourself and what you see and feel. favorite animal? tell him there is a baby that has no bottles so youre going to collect all his bottles for the baby.

have him help you put them all in a bag for goodwill or a friend or just to put away. he'll feel important. i hate to throw food away,and i rarely do,but imo it's been around way too long. how to regrow hair on a **dog's** scar.

several things can cause your dog to have a scar and loss of fur.

no matter what the reason, you should always follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully and properly care for your dog's wound or other skin problems.

in time, his fur may **grow back** normally. i would think it was time to talk to the one who thinks you think are a moron and explain why you have given the other child money and what you really think of them.  if you want visits, tell them how much you appreciate them.  build a better relationship with both. A. If you are going to marry your fiancé, you will have to tolerate his children and ex-wife. It is unfair and unrealistic to ask him to cut ties with his children no matter how dysfunctional they or his ex-wife may be. He is their father and will likely have some involvement with them for the rest of his life.

You have a decision to make. If you decide to marry him, then accept that his family will be part of your life. If you don’t wish to be involved with his family, then strongly reconsider your decision to get married.

Every decision has consequences. Objectivity and clarity are of paramount importance when making major life decisions. It might be helpful to discuss this decision with a therapist. A therapist could assist you in thinking through what your life would be like with or without him and by extension with or without his family. Please take care.

Fiancé Kid Issues When He Doesn’t See Kids A.  I am deeply moved by your situation and understand the devastation following a desertion. Trying to understand his motivation and lack of caring re-injures you emotionally. No matter how many times you try to understand this story of betrayal it will leave you empty. This is a time to reclaim yourself and reconnect with those who love you — and whose care can fill you up. Building a network of social support takes some doing. Asking for help, expressing gratitude toward those who have extended their kindness, and immersing in the best self-care practices you can will help you feel better.


Thoughts determine the direction of our feelings and behavior. If you dwell on him you are turning your thoughts toward more difficult and unsatisfying feelings. Focusing on what you need and the loving people in your life will be better way to go.



Wishing you patience and peace,
