Today, I asked my boyfriend what he thinks about long term relationships. He said, "Our relationship is kinda like having a dog. Chances are, your dog is going to die pretty quickly, before you do. Dogs and humans just aren't meant to be together forever." He compared me to a dying dog. FML

I have a friend who got compared to ice cream in a breakup. "Girls are like ice cream...you have to try all the flavors before you choose one"

Ok, first off, you should dump him. Secondly, does that make any sense to anyone? Maybe i'm just tired but...

At least it didn't last long, so that it's possible it will be easier to get over it. If it hasn't become long term yet your feelings may be salvagable if they're not that deep. You probably care about him deeply, but if you don't make it I'm sure there are many guys out there who would love to invest their time in you.

i think he was referring to your relationship, not you personally.

he's a guy and guys say stupid things. i doubt you're like a dying dog.

Um, yeah, you're wrong, he compared the relationship to a dog, not you, so sounds like he is justified in not wanting to stay with someone who can't even understand an analogy.

i dont see what is hard to understand about "Our relationship is kinda like having a dog. Chances are, your dog is going to die pretty quickly, before you do. Dogs and humans just aren't meant to be together forever." he is saying that your relationship is going to die pretty soon. And not because one of you 2 die, but because of a break-up. Also he says that you two are not meant to be together forever... makes perfect sense. not that it was not a weird analogy, but it did make sense

That's a pretty harsh way of putting it, but the metaphor is kind of true actually. If you really think about what he's saying, he's not calling YOU the dying dog as much the whole idea of relationships. What he means, I think, is that he simply doesn't believe in "love forever." Really, if you can get past the gruffness of the statement, it's kind of profound; I mean, a dog is a man's best friend, but that bond simply isn't designed to exist forever. By comparing the relationship to something as potentially meaningful to a man as his dog (and it is, believe me) what he's really saying in his own ungraceful masculine way is that just because it can't last forever doesn't mean it's not beautiful or worth having.

I feel your pain on this one. I had a girlfriend who when she actually broke up with me said that "I was a puppy that needed to be kicked and put in my place". I know how much that really sucks
