Today, I texted my exes, not because I missed them, but because I wanted to know how their pets were doing. This holds true for at least four relationships. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sent the texts "I love and miss you babe ;)" and "Shit wrong person" to my ex just so he would think I have a life. FML
Today, I saw a text from my mom asking, “Are you still with that girl from last year? I miss her.” She was talking about my ex. The girl I’m dating now saw the message before I did. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend, who I am still in love with, sent me a text message that said, "I miss you, baby." It turns out my name comes right after his girlfriend's name on his contact list. FML
Today, I called one of my old coworkers to see how she was doing. My boyfriend answered the phone. FML
Today, I was trying to keep myself occupied due to my recent breakup. I was reading this book someone gave me about animal communication, so after a while, I figured I'd give it a shot. Then it dawned on me; I'm single, at home on a Friday night, and I'm trying to talk to my dog. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend, who I have been trying to get back together with, texted me. He asked me how life was going, he then asked me if I had the naked picture of him saved on my phone. I asked him why. He replied that he wanted to send it to his crush. FML
Today, I texted my friend’s mom, asking if she could send over my hoodie that I left at their house. Except I didn’t text her, I texted my ex’s mom, who said, “You should probably stop texting me. She’s engaged now.” FML
Today, I typed a vulnerable “I miss you” text to my ex at 1 a.m., stared at it, and meant to delete it. Instead I hit send… to our old family group chat, which still had his mother and my aunt in it. My phone blew up with dumb sympathy, a single eggplant emoji from my cousin, and a lecture from his mom. FML
Today, I was deleting old contacts on WhatsApp of people I no longer talk to. Later, when I was very tired and was about to go to bed, I sent a text to my boyfriend saying love you and goodnight. It turns out it was actually my ex. Awkward! FML
Today, I got my phone fixed and the lady who was working on it somehow resent all the old text messages in my outbox. One was to my ex saying, "I love you." FML

Maybe they want to but can't. They could be living in a place where pets are not allowed.

That's pretty insensitive of you. You get their hopes up, and just inquire about their pets. That's cruel. If you cared for their pets so much, you would have stayed with the asshole person for their sake. This is why most marriages last as long as they do.

Sounds like if you date people without pets, you'll find another excuse to call them. Delete their numbers and move on with your life. Stop living in the past.

So are you saying you change relationships often because that is not smart, stop doing that and grow the hell up.

why not? if it's not working out hopefully she would be smart enough to get out of it and move on. if I know something isn't working out there's no way in hell I'm staying and being miserable.

I feel for you. I just found out that my cat's mother and half-brother, who belonged to a friend I'd lost touch with, died this week. I cried.

I let my ex have our dog after she threatened to have me evicted if I didn't give him to her. She then abandoned him to the shelter instead of giving him back to me. her mom told me this, so I immediately went and got him. That was 4 years ago. I still have the dog, and my crazy ex still texts me and asks me about him, and I always roll my eyes and make fun of her desperation to my friends. You're only making yourself look dumb. Let it go.

Maybe you should have a relationship with their pets since you seem to care more about them than your ex-lovers.

You ever considered that you might be aromantic, if you are more interested in the platonic companionship of pets than the romantic companionship of humans? Might not be the case, but it's worth a thought. (And you can be aromantic without be asexual, so being sexually attracted doesn't rule out being aro.)
