I ask this because I think the one constant/stable relationship I've had is with a pet. Dogs, specifically (sorry cat lovers). Like many of us, relationships are hard for me. Among other reasons, I never saw myself getting married or even in a normal relationship, but I felt too lonely and depressed when it was just me. But if it's just me and a dog, I'll be okay. I always treat animals well. I'm so careful with them. They make me feel like I'm a good person when I'm with them. Is it the same for you guys?
