Well that is a lot to deal with, and I can relate to being optimistic that you will grow to like something. I can respect that you have put in quite the effort towards compromise, which is right even if its not reciprocated.

I will say that you shouldn't judge all potential relationships from the current one, just the same as you shouldnt judge all potential companion animals from the current one.

And to be frank, I'm not surprised the dog behaves that way given the environment you described. You must admit that there is far less time to worry about the dogs well being when you and your partner might both be depressed, and despite what you say about souls, dogs have feelings and are extremely empathetic towards humans.

Its very true that dogs take on the emotional traits of their owners, including negative ones.
