When Your Wife Loves The Dog (Or Other Pet) More Than You
Today's episode discusses a common problem I hear about in session: "My wife cuddles the dog more than me," or "My husband is obsessed with training/playing with the dog" or other forms of a spouse preferring the pet to you. We discuss evolutionary reasons for women especially getting really into pets at midlife, and how different attachment styles handle this, as well as how to handle this conflict in a way that sets you up for success instead of leading to empathic ruptures!
