To all my friend, i valued all the advice and comments given here.  Perhaps i will try arrange for a marriage counselor and seek for third party professional advice, hopefully we will be able to reach an outcome.

I supposed the counselling will need to be attend by both me and my partner, right? Sorry for the noob question.

Yes it's quite simple. TS says the dog was 3 years ago and she marriage 2 years ago. You let this go on too long now she probably no respect for your anymore already. And you say you are a househusband? What?

sorry unrelated to marriage specifically, but the dog is what breed?

Is it a useful breed, like German Shepherd, or Border Collie?

Or ultimately useless dog like chihuahua ?

THIS

dog is not an issue here..think shes not ready/ dont want to be a mum..
having kids aside, hows your relationship with her? do you feel any love from her? how do you treat the dog? if cold, would have been a major turn off for her..hence not wanting to have a kid with you..there is a real difference when you see/treat a dog as a dog vs treating a dog like a family..big difference..my wife is a dog lover and i know..if i would have seen a dog just like a dog, my marriage would not have lasted..it is important to love what she loves esp when it comes to animals..

if no love from her, better to divorce and move on..or else start treating her dog like a kid, she will slowly fall for your charm and be ready to give you a kid

So I have been married to my partner where we know each other for 10 years (married for 2 years quite recently).  Along these years, we are just a happily ever after couple but our relationship/bonding changed after my wife decided to have a dog (thanks to MCO) and this was an impulse decision - we did not discuss what and how if we were to have a pet. 

After the pet came, our marriage life change drastically where my wife will put all the time and effort to the dog (treating it as if like is her own kid).  We have been discussing and i stressed that i want to have kid, but she would not be able to commit.  We have been petting the dog for 3 years now and our daily routine is nothing but all about the dog now. Wherever I plan to go (like a short trip or so), she will be worried for her dog, as you know in MY not everywhere is pet friendly place. 

I'm not a pet person and i do not enjoy walking the dog in the park, pet cafe hopping, pet gathering etc.  I'm in my late 30s now and i do not want to carry on with this lifestyle for the next 10 years (assume the dog can live for another 10 years).  I have a good career and ultimately i want to have a family but not with the dog.

After all these, i have been thinking for a divorce.  We have been discussing/deep talk this few times and did not managed to come a conclusion (she will not let go of her pet/and I'm not willing to go on for my remainder of my life with the dog).  If i were to compromise and accept the dog as a family, i will not be happy and it will not be marriage life i want. 

Additional info - I'm a man with no bad habits, typical house-husband type that does all the housework.  So i do not think my wife attitude change cos of some bad from me. Just FYI. 

Please my friend, your two cents of advice would be very much helpful to me.

TLDR:
Both married with no kids
Wife have a pet dog but husband dont like
Husband want to have kids but wife not able to commit
Divorce??
Reconcile??

TS, what did you do in the end?

We have proceeded with divorce and this should be the best outcome.  Sorry for not updating the status here after awhile.

Thanks everyone for your input, appreciated it.

Hi bro, so how are you doing now? Meeting anyone new lately? To move on with life etc.

Hey bro, ya been meeting someone new lately, but didn't turn out well, maybe with a divorcee status and the divorced period still quite fresh. May need to create a new thread for this  hahahahha

Overall, just live on and flow with it.  Quite boring but i believe this is a phase i have to go through for a new beginning.

My friend was also divorced a few years back.
He also go a few dates and because his. Some ok some didnt wok out.
He did mention after this, he just want to date for partner and not for marriage as its clear cut.
So single mother or divorcee also ok.
At least you are at a better state as you do not have kids.

Ya easier for me as i do not have kids and a pure single man after all now. 

The thing with my new crush is that we were close, hang out together - but when our relationship gets deeper/closer, she pulled back.

Honestly, this hit me harder than my divorce. 

She pulled back - means she broke it off with you?

Well a male divorcee (without kids) is still widely acceptable, it's just that probably it will take some time for the opposite party to get used to it.

Nope.. being bro-zoned.. May be she's not ready for a deeper connection for now (hopefully).. or at first it's just bro-sis at the very beginning.

Her defensive wall is rather high.  I can't force her but just to accept her decision.  May be she also felt I may use her as a "rebound" from my divorce.  So i can't do anything now but just to live on and improve myself.  Still hoping one day she will notice i've moved on from the past (in fact i already moved on).

Action speaks louder than text, right?

Any sort of joint-name asset, or court case split going on?

No bro.. We dont have any joint asset and its a mutual divorce petition.  So things are quite easy and straight forward.

Just waiting to attend the court hearing next month and then get the official divorce court order, and its official.
