    Hubby depression
    Ok, so we are still looking for a home in west cheshire, UK.
    But my boyfriend has officially hit the low.
    He doesn't eat but his smoking amount has become extremely high, he goes to work and comes home every night ranting about all the young girls pushing buggies and toddlers from their homes to the jobcentre and back, he's pale and has got deep eye shadows because he's only sleeping five hours no matter what day. All he does is glue himself to the PC when he is home to try and find properties, both private and council. Every time someone turns us away because of the dogs he takes it personally and rants about it for days. Recently we had a nasty encounter with someone who would take the dogs, but only if we both worked full time ( which I don't) at which point my boyfriend stated quite plainly how could the guy expect his property to remain in one piece if nobody was there to care for the dogs. They were rather obtusive towards each other. This situation has been going on since march and my family are also putting pressure on us to find somewhere because the house is so full (3 bedroomed with 5 people living in it).
    We feel so victimised because we don't have any children, my boyfriend works full time now and I work for Avon for just a few extra quid. Its just the two dogs stopping us but hubby won't give them up and neither will I.
    The situation is just awful, does anybody have any suggestions?
    I have added attachments of the dogs

    They are beautiful dogs! The larger one looks just like my Rottie/Lab!

    Now, it seems you only have TWO choices at this time. Either get a full time job (yes it can be done with two dogs) or get rid of the dogs.

    I have 3 large breed dogs and they are home alone daily.

    Do you have any family who can take care of the dogs?

    You can get a job opposite your boyfriend, or is it husband I wasn't sure since you used both terms. You can be home while he is at work and visa versa. Thus, the dogs will not be alone.

    Sorry, he is my boyfriend but I often refer to him as my hubby to.
    See I don't want a full time job, I only want part time. And my boyfriend works during the day ( 12 - 9pm) so I would therefore be working at night. Also we are hoping to start a family when we move and I want to be able to juggle work and family.
    Sadly my family won't take the dogs, and my boyfriends family hate me, therefore won't help.
    I have discovered it is a problem for many pet owners.
    And the rottweilers a big softy :) as you can see the two dogs are very attached.

    Oh, and I should mention it's only been one landlord that has offered providing we work full time. The rest have been critics just at the thought of taking dogs.
