I’m experiencing insecure attachment style specific to feeling like my puppy loves my SO more than me because I work more and he gets more quality-chill time with her.

Give your puppy treats! Even better if you can spend 5-10 min training puppy to earn the treats. Maybe top it off with a couple minutes of focused ear/butt scratching, face massaging, belly rubbing, whatever makes your puppy feel ahhh. My SO feeds, walks, cuddles, naps, and generally spends more time with our dog, but he is attached to me. I feel a little guilty lol.

It's fairly common for household pets to have a favorite human.

The puppy probably does. Deal with it now. If you can feed and walk them more frequently it will help but it’s unfortunately probably a reality
