Junior Guinea Pig
I've been doing alot of thinking recently about my relationship with my OH and my pigs. Quick low down - we've been together 2 years and lived together for 1. Moved into a new house in March and after alot of persuading I started my pig family. Thing is, my OH hates animals, he's allergic and is generally not an animal person at all. He tolerates them for my sake and makes an effort to listen to me chat about them and show a bit of an interest but I know iis forced on my account. This makes me think he must love me lots to go through it for me but also makes me realise how different we are as people. It breaks my heart that we cant share this passion as my love for animals is a huge part of who I am and whenever he flinches when a dog comes near him or says something derogatory about animals, it makes me feel further and further away from him. I knew we were like chalk and cheese from the start but I'm now starting to wonder if we are just too different.
Whenever I read posts on here, everyone mentions how their OHs are involved with their pigs and love them just as much. I was just wondering is this the same for everyone? Are you all with animal lovers? Or do some of your OHs have nothing to do with your animals?
