You compare your spouse’s love for you to your dog’s.
Your dog loves you unconditionally, and you know it. Dogs don’t judge you, are very forgiving and don’t hold a grudge. Even if they hate that harness you make them wear in the backseat of the car, they don’t hold it against you — which may not be the case with a certain someone, who isn’t thrilled when you suggest he’s not taking the fastest route.

So all things considered, it’s not hard to believe why I love this tail-wagging, tongue-lolling, happy smiling boy more than my husband … or anyone else, for that matter!
Meghan Lodge is an animal advocate who dedicates her spare time to a local animal shelter. She also authors the blog, Oh My Pibbles, which focuses on animal advocacy. She lives in Cairo, GA, with her husband and their motley crew: Axle and Remi (dogs) and Fry, Leela, and Lord Nibbler (cats).
My husband has long suspected it. Quite frankly, I’ve been in denial for the past two years. It’s time for the truth to come out: I love my dog more than I love my husband. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not “in love” with my dog — that’s just darn creepy. I simply love my dog. A lot. I love my husband, too, but he certainly couldn’t get away with destroying my favorite designer heels or pooping on my beige carpet.
My husband will listen to me, yes, but he has his limits. Axle can listen to me all day, and he’ll continue to give me that intense, understanding look that says, “It’s okay, I’m still listening.” He knows all of my secrets, and he loves me just the same. He would forgive me any trespass, and I’m pretty sure I’d forgive him anything, as well. He’s certainly tried my patience a time or two, but then he gives me that look — head low, forehead creased, ears drooping — and it’s all I can do not to hug him and tell him I’m sorry for getting on him!

Does Your Spouse Love The Dog More Than You?
We’re a nation of pet lovers, there’s no doubt about it. The joy our cats and dogs bring to our lives is immeasurable and it’s safe to say the majority of us couldn’t imagine our lives without them.
According to a recent survey we conducted, it has been discovered that many of us love our pets quite a bit more than originally expected. Research showed that for many couples across the UK, our four-legged friends can take the starring role in our relationships. As it turns out, many pet owners actually love their dog or cat more than their significant other! If you suspect you may be one of these people then read on for 10 signs you love your pet more than your partner:
If you would rather snuggle up on the sofa with your fur baby, while your partner sits across the room in the armchair, don’t worry, you’re not alone. A survey of 2,000 cat and dog owners in relationships discovered a quarter would prefer to cuddle up on the sofa with their furry friend than their significant other. Who can blame them when your furry pal is so snuggly and soft?
If every other picture on your camera roll is a selfie of you and your pooch, while pictures of your partner are few and far in between, it’s safe to say you might be showing a bit of a preference. The survey also showed that pet owners have an average of more than 40 pictures of their pooch or pussycat on their phone, with nearly half claiming this is more than they have of their partner. Bonus points if your Instragam feed is almost entirely dedicated to your pet.
Love it or hate it but many pet owners frequently give their pets a big old smackeroo. Of the 2000 people surveyed, it was found that 35% of those polled kiss their pet more than their partner. If you reserve your kisses for your furry friend while those for your partner are in short supply, you probably love your pet just a little bit more!
Many of us allow our dogs and cats to sleep in bed with us. Hey, it’s comforting for us and comforting for them! But if your partner is always falling out of bed to make room for your fur baby, this is a clear sign your dog or cat is at the top of the pecking order. Undisputed evidence is sleeping in a separate bed from your partner just so you can be with your pet.
When you’ve had a long, stressful day, if your pet is the one you can’t wait to get home to then chances are they’re your number one priority in your life. Our survey showed that many people favour the company of their pet because they feel more relaxed in their company and just being with them promotes their well-being.
More excited about getting a Valentine’s day card from your pet than from your husband? That says a lot! Of course, they’re both from the same person really (although we can’t imagine anything cuter than a dog waiting in line at Clinton’s with a card in their mouth) but who cares. According to our poll, nearly a third of pet owners have received a card or gift from their spouse on behalf of their pet to celebrate the occasion.
We’ve all been there; you’re out with your friends and every other topic of conversation is in some way related to your pet. If you’re constantly relaying funny stories about your cat or dog and only mention your partner in passing, it is clear where your heart is at. Our survey showed that a whopping 23% of those polled bring up their cat or dog in conversation more than their spouse!
We all get a bit jealous sometimes, it’s a normal part of life. If you suspect your partner is a little bit jealous of all the love and affection you give to your pet then it’s likely that they actually are a bit green with envy! As it turns out, 3 in 10 believe their partner is jealous of the attention they give to their pet.
