Discussion: My fiancée has a dog she is grooming; she has no time for me! Things got to the point where I demanded that she hand over the dog for adoption.

For someone who raises a dog, it is a family member. As you would not seek to give a child up for adoption, I do not recommend that you demand that your fiancée hand over the dog as a condition of marriage. I encourage you to initiate a relaxed conversation in which you will agree on the desired attention for both of you. From personal experience, dogs consume a lot of attention. But they return love unconditionally. Do not be surprised if the dog shows signs of jealousy towards you.
