Personally my self esteem in the relationship gets eroded deeply when my partner places so much time, affection, or caring for non human things. Suggestions for coping skills are most appreciated.

I also found it quite confusing and I think I will probably seek better resources. Just wanted you to know you weren’t alone! Stay excellent! (=
