Think very carefully about getting another dog unless you both agree on what type and who is going to do the looking after and clearing up. I have a cautionary tale. My ex husband insisted on taking in a 6 year old rescue male GSD with issues some years ago, contrary to my better judgement. He was a very handsome and loyal dog inside the house, but an absolute nightmare to control outside, he had major anxiety issues and was dreadful in the car, and couldn't be let off the lead as he would chase after runners. He used to hurl himself against the front door when the postman came, and absolutely mutilated the door, which husband refuse to do anything about at the time.
In the end I decided to leave my husband. Obviously dog wasn' t the only reason as the marriage was in trouble for a long while before taking in a troublesome dog, but doing so without my agreement was a significant factor and and clear evidence that my feelings on the topic counting for nothing. And I actually like most dogs very much as we had previously had dogs.
I would get a small/medium sized dog when I eventually retire, as I live on my own and a dog would be good company.
