Advice on wanting out of marriage with a dog involved

I have wanted to get out of my marriage for a while now. I just don’t know how much longer I can take it anymore. I’m just tired of being blamed for everything no matter what I do and how hard I try. My self esteem is already messed up after over a decade of marriage from all the harsh words and put downs. I will spare you all the many things. But now the only thing keeping me here is our 6 year old dog which is my best buddy. I take care of and do most things with the dog and for the dog as my work allows me more freedom. But I also feel I’m more dedicated to the dog. Don’t get me wrong my wife loves the dog but she just doesn’t take the time to care for the needs of the dog as I do. I know if I leave their is no way at all she will let me have the dog and I worry how the dog will handle me gone as we are together majority of the time plus I will be so lost without my little buddy. I live many long hours away from all my family as I moved here when we got married because of my wives career. But I wouldn’t have any other reason to stay in this area if we weren’t together as my job isn’t based here. The main thing keeping me here is the dog. I love that dog so much and I know the dog loves me. I just don’t know how my health and well being will hold up staying in this environment. Anybody have any advice or suggestions that may have been through this before?

Thanks so much and all the best to you!

@jmd-6791,
Several years ago, I dated a guy who "shared custody" (if you will) with his ex. They had 2 cocker spaniels, who IIRC were from the same litter. She kept one, he kept the other, and they would watch the other's dog when one or the other of them went out of town. It was amicable and the dogs got to see each other at times.

I don't know if it was in writing or even a part of their divorce agreement.

But there's no reason why something like this can't be a part of yours, particularly if you stay in the area for at least a few years after your divorce is final.

E.g. you get to keep Shep (or whatever the pup's name is) for most of the year but your ex takes care of Shep when you're out or maybe you hand over Shep for a few months so they can spend some time together. She may or may not go with it, and it may or may not work, but there's no way you'll know unless you try something like that.

@jmd-6791,
I would actually get your father and mother to hang around the house. That being said you might want to leave a couple of hidden camera on you guys

This Guy had a son who went out of his way to do things for this woman he has kids with. One time she went out in the snow for him, and something happen ( accident ). The in-law came and rub it in his face.

Guy I am talking about ( the father ) asked the in-law "did ____ tell you to go outside, and did _____ say to do _____" the answer was no and he then said "Please step away from my son"

Point I am saying is that you may not be at fault and if you had a parent who actually was observant around I am sure she would not say anything at all. Parents jobs never ends. They are psychologists, referee, and more. That is what you need.

...........

Again this is a classic case of "I need an in-law with me right now". Like in the "Honey Mooners" or "Lucy Show". They had the Mother-in-law or the Father-in-law in the house/apartment hanging out with keys, etc all the time. Or they lived inside the parents house like in "Tidus.

............................................................................................................................

I love my dog too but the sad reality is that dogs years pass by so fast and their health can be costly. So you rather by a man alone with a dog paying medical bills to lying vet never knowing if your being discriminated or not then do so, because it will happen one day. That day is near.

I assume you guys have sex, but I guess that does not matter after awhile. It is just a need like shaking hands.
