OP, I think you need some soul searching. You need to figure out what you really want. Some people don't like living together. Maybe you are one of them, so you should look for a person with similar needs. Such couples are called LAT (living apart together). And it is perfectly OK nowadays.

Don't give in. It would be a disaster. Would you really want to be in a relationship, in which another person dumps you to get what they want?

At the moment you can't do anything. The ball is in her court. Maybe she will figure out that she also prefers to be on her own with her pets, so you might get back together, but I doubt it. Also from my experience, when a woman puts her energy into pets first, she rarely wants kids later. Have you even discussed this matter? I feel your relationship was very vague in many areas.

OP, I know you've deleted your original post and this will be locked. If you and your ex decide to give things another go, I think you both should go for some couples counselling. Understandably there's a lot more to this relationship than what you told us here, but there are also problems that will continue to trip you up in the future.
