My husband and I have been married for four years and it is the second marriage for both of us. We don't seem to argue over the typical things that twice married couples seem to argue over, instead it's basic issue such as whether we have a family pet or not. I grew up with a family dog, and I would like my children to have the same experience. But because he says "no" there is no discussing the issue. This really upsets me because my opinion to him is worthless. If I did get a family dog, I'm sure he would make life miserable. Also, he likes to hunt and I feel that it (hunting) shows a basic disregard for life. Not only does he hunt he is encouraging his twelve year old son to do the same. I have no objections to the hunting if it is for appropriate reasons. This issue has had us not talking for four days. Help!

I feel as though a compromise should be reached. You feel as though hunting is wrong? You feel as though you don't want him taking your son hunting? Well, he feels the same way about a dog! I bet if the two of you sat down, and you told him that you have agreed that he can hunt and take your son; he would agreeably allow you to have a dog. He is probably only withholding the dog from you, because it gets under your skin. Just like you not liking his hunting gets under his skin.
