Personally, I'm used to it since I'm a tomboy. Most of my and my brother's friends are guys and they come over our house just to hang out sometimes.

Hello everyone, I am in need of some advise: 2 years ago my brother left for a military deployment, and my husband and I took in his dog so he would not have to give him away. 1 year ago my husband brought home a kitten for my birthday, and over the last year my kitten and my brothers dog have bonded very strongly.  Now my brother is home and in May he is coming to take his dog. He cannot have cats because he is allergic, and I cannot in good conscious keep his dog. My brother has been a great pet parent even with the distance by maintaining contact, paying monthly for food and vet visits and never hesitated to offer to help with any costs I have needed for the dog. My brother would even get leave and literally fly half way around the world just to see his dog every chance he got. Ya'll, he face-time's the dog! But now I am at a loss of what to do. They are literal best friends (we even have to take the cat on walks because she freaks out if the dog isn't home). What do I do? How do I help when the time comes to separate? I have read a lot of horror stories about what can happen when bonded pairs are separated and I don't want to hurt either of the fur-babies.  To clarify also, my brother's permanent home is about 5 hours away from where I live (a whole different state). He lives with my other brother and both are highly allergic to cats and my other brother (that he lives with) has a dog that is not cat friendly.   thank you in advance!

13 days ago She dumped me over text. I didn't plead , beg , apologize  or over text I just accept it and reply "ok that's cool". She left me because I was needy, insecure , anger issue and controlling. Therefore, I want to start all over and this time be more confident, emotionally strong  and happy.. I just want at least 1 day to show her I've change.  After 5 days of the break up she text me she want her all of her stuff back and I've ignore it for 2 days. I try to use humor because I want to let her know I'm move on and not upset bout the breakup I try to call her on a day I know she's not busy Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday I call her twice because that first call went straight to voicemail and the next call did too so I guess her phone was off. So I left her a text to let her know I want to talk over the phone she haven't reply and it's Sunday now... Should I wait until she reply ? I believe if she can hear that confident and relaxation in my voice she can feel more comfortable to be at least my friend . Any hint to get her to talk to me over the phone?
