Are you insensitive when it comes to animals??
I'm.. rather shocked by quite a few men in my life who disrespect the lives of animals.
My dog died this summer and my ex bf didn't comfort me at all.. "It's just a dog." He doesn't see the emotional significance of sharing your life with an animal companion for FIFTEEN YEARS???
My dad will happily leave animals to die if they get sick or injured...instead of fixing the problem...
My bestfriend just texted me saying that she's with her bf and just explained to him that she found out yesturday that she has to put her dog down (she's had him for fifteen years as well) and he goes "Oh, it's just a dog, I thought it was your brother or something"
:astonish:
She's really hurt by it! even if animals aren't his thing, shouldn't he still see that SHES upset and it's important to HER? Just be there for her! Don't be a jerk and say "Oh, well I don't really care about your dog, so I hope you get over it..."
It just makes me wonder what the majority of men's views are out there...
What would YOUR reaction be if your gf was deeply upset because her favourite canine friend is DYING ?
