I also get really upset and hurt when I see how well my boyfriend treats other animals. His sister has a cat, which has its own myriad of problems, but my boyfriend doesn't see those or try to give his opinion on how to fix them, you know? When we go over, he plays with the cat, hugs her, kisses her, and is overall very interested in the animal.
But he can't do the same with my dog.

I get hurt and really angry, and I don't think he even understands.
