My family has dog
and i feed her water her
take her for runs and everything
we still hate eachother
it depends on u and the dog if
your really loving the dog will still
identify you as its primary caregiver
but that does take some time.
it will still try and get you to show it the
attention its used to.
if you neglect it then yes
it will eventually find someone who will
give it some attention
the same philosophy can be applied to people
if you ignore your friends will they still be
your friends.

My husband and I have this situation with our Beagle. I work nights and he works days so when he gets up or gets home my husband feeds her. She waits, every day, staring out the window for him to get home because she knows when he gets home she'll get food. Other than her always being super excited to see him when he gets home I see no ill effects from this process. She's really my dog because I raised her (my husband left for a year on business when she was very little) so she always runs to momma for everything OTHER than food. I also spend more time sitting with her petting her. She sleeps with both of us (whomever happens to be sleeping since we work opposite shifts) and seems more than happy to assist in occupying the bed either way.

Now, if you're trying to get the dog not to come to you then just don't feed it and don't pay attention to it. Then it will go to your boyfriend. I hope this isn't what you're planning to do because all pets diserve love so keep on loving it and it will keep loving you!

God, please help me to be the person may dog thinks I am!

Pretty much your boyfriend is the 'alpha dog' .
Meaning he is the master , And the dog is aware of this .

Well the dog might like your boyfriend more but if you start spending more time with the dog and stuff he will get use to you and like you also. Good luck I hope I helped.
