Those 30 ex's would probably like to tear you apart, limb by limb. Be careful you never allow them to get together with you in the same room.
Do you have any dogs around your house to provide company?
I have one. A 100lb German Shepherd named Tyson. After the last two died, I got him as a used 5 year old replacement. One prior owner and low mileage, good cond.
He provides me with companionship and we do things together all the time.
I want to build a conversion around him with a dark quiet room so he can sleep during the day without interuptions and a roof top area so he can go up top and bark at things that go by like skateboarders and other dogs.
