Sex File: He lets our new puppy sleep in the bedroom and it's killing our sex life

We recently got a new puppy, largely at my boyfriend's behest; I'm not a massive dog lover

My boyfriend and I recently got a new puppy (largely at his behest; I'm not a massive dog lover), which he's insisting must sleep in the bedroom until he has settled - which is killing our sex life. I feel like he is prioritising the dog over me, but he says I just can't stand not being the centre of attention. It's making me resent them both.

I can't see why having a dog in a crate makes it impossible for you to have sex. Puppies need 15-20 hours of sleep a day and if the crate is on the floor where he can't even see you, having him in the room shouldn't make any difference. As soon as the puppy learns that he is safe in his crate and the humans in his life are reliable, your boyfriend will be able to move it out of the bedroom.
