I dont think it is as important to find someone that is totally into animals as you are, i mean they have to have a liking and cant hate animals or anything like that. I think me and my husband compliment each other, i love animals and would have a trillion of them, but my hubby keeps me grounded. He keeps me from being an animals hoarder and i let him,lol!!!!! I dont envy anyone that has to date, i cant imagine having to go there again,lol. I married my high school sweet heart, we have been together since were 16/17 years old and i am now 34!!!! My husband tolerates my animals, he doesnt help too much, he will help me if i ask but he doesnt go any further into the animal care then that,lol. But that is ok with me, he cares for them, but they are my animals. When Sooty was put to sleep and i was crying, he was crying, i asked him about it later and he was crying because of how upset i was and that he felt bad for sooty but more because i was so upset and he hates to see me upset.

Gordon dont give up on anyone because they arent animal crazy, lol, although it would be great to find someone as passionate as you are about your animals, but maybe you will meet someone who never knew the love of an animal and you will be able to show them the love of a rabbit!!!

I appreciate everything you said, but this quote just made me laugh. :D
 
I suppose I'm pretty fortunate since I found a man who tolerates (and sometimes even mildly encourages) my eccentric behaviors and who either loves or learns to love all the animals that we share our home with. I have been married for almost 10 years and we have two daughters.
 
I am getting married on September 5th! My fiance and I met at college and we're now 24.

He's never been an animal person like me, but he likes my bunnies and his family's cats and he knows that pets will always be a part of our lives and may need expensive vet care at times, so its all good. We're planning on getting a French Lop and English lop to add to our bunch when we have a place of our own :) I think in our first conversation I told him that rabbits are an obsession of mine, haha, and it didn't scare him away :p

This is me. Plus when Rob tries to comment I point out he wanted a bunny not me. :biggrin2:
 
i have found that it doesn't matter a great deal if a guy i date likes rabbits or not

cause winnie never likes them. lol.

but then again, her eyes turn green with jealousy if i give the houseplants attention by watering them. lol. so it doesn't shock me that she hates any guys i bring home.

i do date on occasion, but few and far between. i'm happy single. after all my mental problems from before i still find it best to focus on myself, and being in a relationship doesn't let me do that 100%

i guess i'll stick to my rabbit, chocolate, and romance novels (i think i own all nora roberts books at this point. . . it is almost sad) for a while yet.

although i'm sure i'll meet mr. right someday

lol

Hey now, pets, chocolate and romance novels are still important even if you have a man! I have quite the collection of tacky romance novels myself :blushan:

I own almost all the Nora Roberts novels also. They are great!

 
Well... Where to start... For most of my "dating" life, I've dated men. I even had a son with a guy I thought I was in love with and who I thought was perfect. I wasn't and he wasn't, to put that bluntly. I staggered on for awhile, not really dating, then met a great guy who I came really close to marrying. We figured out we just weren't right together before that point, though, when we realized BOTH of us were being unfaithful. It actually came to a point where we both knew what the other was doing, even telling each other "Oh hey I was with so and so last night". When I wanted to take my relationship "public" to my family, we broke it off officially, though it had been over for many months.

We're still really great friends though, and now, I am getting married to the woman of my dreams. A lot of people just can't wrap their minds around the fact that THE ONE is a female, when before I'd never dated any women at all. I say, love is just love. It doesn't matter the gender, color, creed. When you love someone, as much as I love her, it doesn't even cross your mind to think that it's odd.
 
I've always wanted bunnies but my parents wouldn't allow me to keep any. My then boyfriend promised me I could have whatever pet I wanted once we moved in together. I whined about wanting a bun for months leading up to the wedding. He bought a bun condo for OUR new condo and all of a sudden the whole having a pet thing became real and I got cold feet. I avoided the topic for 2 months but he kept encouragin me. His only issue was that he was afraid I'd be eternally sad if anything happened to my rabbit -- he couldn't stand it if I was upset. I lost a fish I had for 2 years and was a wreck for a week.

But he kept giving me encouragement and up until he moment Kirby arrived at my house I was doubtful. Now I can't imagine my life without my husband or my buns.

He gives me strength, shows me that I am capable of love. It's so corny but he really does teach me how to be a better person. We've been married just over a year. It has not been easy. But our buns do help us keep the happiness aBUNdant :)
 
I have to admit that my husband is not The Love of My Life.

I dated a guy in college, and the love we had was magical and amazing and passionate. However, we are very different people, with very different life goals. He is outgoing and social and athletic, I am a homebody and am happiest with a smaller group of friends, or by myself. Maybe the biggest thing was that he absolutely wanted kids, and I absolutely do not. I really don't think a marriage could have survived that obstacle. Plus, he's a Scorpio and I'm a Leo, never would have worked!
We met in late summer/early fall, and dated for 3 years. I broke up with him, he got married less than a year later, and divorced a year after that. I was single around then, and we went on a couple dates again. He was living in Chicago, and wanted me to move up there and marry him. Then he stayed with me for a weekend, and followed me around like a lost puppy, and I couldn't take that.
To this day, this late summer time of year brings back some really strong memories. Sometimes I feel a little lost without him. I feel that, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, maybe we were together in a previous life, and maybe we will find each other again in the next.


Sometimes I feel like marrying Jason was "settling." But we've got more similar interests and goals. And if it weren't for Jason, I may never have gotten rabbits.
 
Ok well i agree with the whole "animals come are part of a package". I dated a guy for 3 years i thought was the one. And he always asked why I loved animals so much. And well that ended. But now im with a guy who has the same passion for animals i do. The both of us are used to having pet around. He has a dog, 2 turtles, a guinea pig, and a african grey living in his house. His mother used to breed rabbits when she was younger. We just both are awe over animals. Relationships for me have been ****** in the past but i am a true believer in "fairy tales". I have been thru so much **** and i wouldnt let it stop me of finding that special someone for me. A guy who totally and utterly loves me for me no matter what and gets my love for the animals. But i also believe everyone has their views and i am just speaking from the heart, and what i think is completely funny is that everyone i know says that i am "out of his league" cause the way he looks but i say no. You love someone for who they are not what they look like. Like Cait said you love who you love and i am so a supporter of that. So its just different with everybody and thats my 2 cents lol.

I'm no love guru but don't marry someone your not crazy about why not try and kind common ground with your college sweet heart and tell him children will more then likely never happen, But if he really loves you he should understand that! He may even realize that kids in the end arn't for him or they are right for you! I'd give it another go!

There's really no long-term potential for that relationship. We're just too different. Even when we were together, there were lots of rocky times. I do still love him, but us together just isn't meant to be. *shrug*

I think my original post may have implied that I don't love Jason, but I do. It's just different. And we're much more compatible as a couple.

As far as I know,Jason isn't a member. Unless he looks here secretly when he's at work.

I experienced one of those magical relationships, too, but in that case, she was the one who introduced me to rabbits, turtles, and fish. :)

I've never had any pre-conceived notions(fairy tales) about life, but I understand what you're saying.
