My fiancé dropped a pizza he brought for supper. 80 dollars down the drain. He started pacing and raging in the yard.

It made me really scared and I started crying and he pulled me into his lap.

My previous relationships didn’t allow themselves to restrain their anger towards me when something else inconvenienced them.

He never hurt me. But previous boyfriends would. Shove me out of their way because they were angry. If I rustled their laptop whilst climbing into bed with them they’d snap.

Anger is a normal emotion but I have a history of men taking their anger out on me just for the sake of being angry. I feel helpless and useless when my fiancé is angry. I’m afraid to say anything when I have no reason to.

I’m also bummed about the pizza. heh

yes, I have tested the water. Yes, I had tested the bowl itself. I have washed the bowl itself. I’ve tried bottled water. I’ve tried tapwater. I’ve tried well water. I’ve tried flavouring the water with meat juices that I know he can’t resist. I’ve taken him to the vet where she’s like “hmm mild dehydration” and after extensive testing on THEIR part, they found nothing wrong except for the fact that he’s dehydrating himself. no viruses, no bacteria, no rabies, no internal injuries cuts splinters etc., no digestional blockages which I don’t think makes any sense here but they tested it anyway.

I’ve tried refrigerating the water making sure it’s cold. I’ve tried letting the water be lukewarm.

For 2 or 3 days, he even refused to eat, but now he’s eating again.

yes, I have tried moving the dishes around to different places. I’ve tried using different dishes altogether.

he will not drink. I have half a mind to pin him down and force feed him water for his own good because he is showing clear signs of suffering from lack of water.

Like I said, he’s eating habits are back to normal. He eats whatever is put in front of him. But he will not drink!

He will not eat food that I pour water on to sneak some water in there. I have some canned food which is pretty juicy he seems to eat that fine. But I’m at a loss.
