My ex girlfriend (23F) that dumped me (24M) to start seeing someone else wants to see my dog.
My ex girlfriend that dumped me almost 3 months ago after dating for over 2 years and lived together, she left to start fooling around with someone new and lied about it. She has texted me wanting to see my dog.
We got the dog together when we were dating but I paid for the dog, not cheap, and all the vet bills. By all accounts he is my dog and I took him when we split. She texted me about a month after we split wanting to see him and I said that he was doing well and that I have his care taken care of.
Fast forward about 7 weeks and she has recently texted me again asking to meet her and her new dog at the dog park. I asked her to state her intentions as this was very random and a bit unfair as she is the one that cut things off and “replaced both me and my dog”. I told her that I did not want to see her as it would bring up to much unwanted emotion for me and I didn’t believe it to be fair to my dog.
I’ve always been very honest with her, even though she hasn’t with me, it’s just not in my character to lie to someone I care deeply for. I also told her that she can’t keep contacting me and that she made her choice and needs to accept it.
Was this an attempt to just see the dog or is there an ulterior motive here? Any advice would be helpful. My head is spinning and I would be open to having a conversation with her but she would need to state that as her intentions. I’m very guarded now and could definitely be over analyzing. Seeing her would also bring up a lot of unwanted emotion that would not be good for me, trying to protect myself.
