if someone got a pet to replace a partner after a breakup, i'd question what they wanted in a relationship in the first place. as far as occupying my mind, i would never give up the things i enjoy doing when in a relationship anyway, rather hope they enjoy them to, or they just become 'me' time. i suppose i've structured my life to be comfortable without someone, if someone comes along, then double the fun!

Well, after my husband died, and our dog, and both of my parents, I got a dog. A little shihtzu. I had so much love to give and no one to give it to. Lonely, you bet your ass I was. She healed my heart at the time in many ways.

I don't have any pets yet, but I'm pretty sure he's been able to occupy his time otherwise... So, in that meaning, do you think relationship is just a free time , that needs to be filled in ? For some people yes. I am ok with being single, I always have been. I actually had a hard time being IN a relationship at times because I felt like my normal life was no more. |

Atlantis, I don't believe that people get pet's because of a break up. If they want a pet, they'll have one because, they want one.

True. I am guilty of it. I already have a 4 year old Lab, and after my better half passed, I got a chocolate lab. Keeps my mind focused on going to work and keeps me busy at home.

When women become lonely or going through a separation period after a failed relationship, they usually end up having pets, like dogs, because they need someone or something they can trust and trust is returned. Lonely men or men who feels being betrayed or separated or never found that particular partner will put his interest into various activities, such as working in the garage (cars motorcycles etc) or politics and other discussions, but also may end up getting pets to minimalize the feel of being alone. After a while, both (men and women) realize, that no pets and neither any other sort of activity can replace of having a partner. I have my pets before my divorce, you cannot replace people, you replace things. When you are very confortable with yourself, everything comes to you naturally. |

You know, I never realized I did this until I thought about it after reading the post.
In 1998 my husband was killed in a car accident and after I got back to work, the first morning I went online and found "Sebastian", a King Charles Spaniel. In 2004 I lost my twins and then Sebastian died, too, right after I got out of the hospital. I adopted "Logan", a Cocker Spaniel who was about to be put down. In 2008 my husband and I separated and I got an American Bulldog, "Leroy - aka Bosco" and Tigger, a cat that a friend of mine had to get rid of. I am not a fanatical "animal lady" by any means, but I think that I did bring these animals into my home to replace the loss I had experienced. Not just for me, but for my daughter, as well. |

I don't have a pet in place of or to replace any person. She's here for a completely different sort of companionship and entertainment. I'd still want her around with or without a woman in my life.
