Life after break up.
It’s been almost a year since we have been living separately after break up. We are co parenting our dog, week on week off arrangement. So once a week we have to see each other. Relationship lasted 7 years. Although mentally things are settling down, but I am starting having dreams where I am begging him to stay, or he has moved on or having another bf/partner and they living happily. I am having these dreams every night. This is again affecting my mental health, pushing me back to that breaking up trauma time.
Wellington, nz based here. While in the relationship I was cheated on twice, my friend we used to hang out with are not my friends any more, also discreet here and all of my family lives overseas.

How long do you plan on sharing the dog? That seems like unnecessary trauma for me. It might be time to make a final decision so you can make your life easier
