My Husband Gave Away My Cat, and I’m Considering Divorce

Taking care of a pet and giving them a loving home can be a huge responsibility, but it also comes with many perks. Humans and pets can form an unbreakable bond that lasts for many years. One of our readers found herself in a huge dilemma when her partner did not warm up to her beloved cat. And when she had to leave the feline with her husband for a few days, her spouse decided to take matters into his own hands.

Your partner breaking your trust can be a devastating event to go through. Here are a few tips that can help you navigate such difficult situations.

• First of all, wait for some time until things have calmed down, then try to have an open conversation with your husband. Explain to him that what he did has deeply hurt you, but also try to understand his point of view.
• Expect him to take responsibility for his actions if he wants to mend your relationship, as that’s one of the main steps to healing broken trust. He should also try to get your cat back because he had no right to give him away even if he didn’t want to take care of him anymore.

• If things don’t improve, you can try out couples counseling to talk your issues through with the help of a professional. They can also help you recognize the unhealthy habits in your relationship and work to create healthy ones instead.
• Divorce can sometimes be inevitable. Many couples stay in unhappy marriages just because they are scared of divorce, but it can still be an option. If you feel like there’s nothing your partner can do to regain your trust, or he refuses to change his behavior, it might be the best course of action.

Solving arguments in a marriage is never an easy job. Another reader also found herself in a tough situation when her husband wanted to move his elderly mother in their house.
