I regret getting a puppy and I don't know what to do.
Everyone is probably going to think I am a horrible person for saying this, but here goes. Me and my boyfriend have just got an 8 week old rottie pup and I am already regretting this decision before I have even spent more than 5 minute with her.

This puppy is a result of my boyfriends family breeding their dogs and this last one was taking a while to sell. So my boyfriend said that we would have her. Someone then phoned up asking about her and said they were coming to take a look after the weekend. We both accepted this because we had figured out it was a stupid idea us having a dog now. My boyfriend has battled a very serious illness this year and had to take a year out of study. He will be returning next september and we hope to live together then. This is another reason I originally said no. I have wanted to live in an apartment high up in the city, for years! and this will not be happening with the rottie. I have also been planning on getting a little dachshund for myself in a year or two.

However, all those plans are being thrown out the window now we have the rottie pup. I don't know why I agreed to her, I feel so stupid. He bought her out to the car and she looked so cute (but that's because she is a puppy!) I don't like his family dogs who are grown up rotties and I worry I will just hate this dog. We have also been arguing lots about her too.

I just wanted a bit of time to be us, but now I have gone and said yes. My boyfriend really wanted to keep her and he keeps telling me he is going to keep this dog anyway, even if I don't want to. But I am starting to feel very trapped and isolated. We have both made plans for the future which a big dog will ruin.

I feel like a terrible person and this is actually making me feel sick inside and I can't sleep anymore. It's just after 3am in the morning now and I have a massive lump in my throat. I'm so desperate for any advice of what I should do.
