My bf is still choosing his cat over me
I made a post a little over two weeks ago about how my bf gives me very little affection while constantly showing affection to his cat.
We’re in a LDR and I only see him a couple times a month. Every time I come see him he brings his cat to bed to cuddle her and he’ll cuddle her ALL night. Tell her how much he loves her, petting her and holding her close.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a HUGE animal lover. I have two cats and a dog of my own who are my life, my children. But I don’t allow them in my room the very few times he’s come to visit me. I want to make sure we have our alone time. I also do love his cat. We watch chipmunk videos every morning, I groom her and give her treats.
But almost EVERY night while I’m at his he brings his cat in to cuddle for “comfort”. He literally sees her everyday, cuddles her every night and even goes out of his way on his lunch breaks just to see her.
I have talked with him about this since my last post and I thought we came to an understanding but nope. He’s still bringing her into bed and not cuddling me or touching me at all. Just constantly praising her while I lay there.
I don’t understand why he can’t find comfort in me and why he doesn’t want to cuddle me. He finally did last night around 3:30am because she finally got off the bed. It makes me feel like second choice and at that point I don’t even want to be touched by him because it doesn’t feel genuine. It just feels like he keeps me around so he’s not lonely.
I can feel that fiery feeling I get before splitting and I really don’t want to split on him again but I stg if he brings his damn cat into bed again tonight I’m going to lose it.
I don’t know what else to do. A part of me is just screaming to break up with him because I’m so over the lack of affection and him constantly choosing his cat over me but I also do love him and want to see if I can make this work.
I know it sounds crazy to be this upset over a cat but it’s NOT about the cat. It’s about him blatantly ignoring my feelings that I’ve shared with him about this and still choosing his cat over me.
I’m about to lose my fucking mind.
