Things are looking up!

[Pixie]

Had a chat with my boyfriend a little while ago and finally cleared some things up. You see, he's not a big fan of reptiles, he tolerates them because I love them but whenever I say something about them he used to always be negative. Either sigh and roll his eyes or say something stupid.

Since my collection has been growing and will continue to, I was getting at the end of my rope. I don't want to keep living with someone who's always going to be negative about something I love so much. I finally broke it to him too that there was not just one snake on the way soon but two! ;)

Anyways, I told him that I had enough of his negativity, that I despised golf but never ragged on him about it, in fact I push him to go golfing as much as he can cause I know he loves it. That if he couldn't do the same for me, we weren't going anywhere.

He finally saw it from my point of view and apologized! He was really sincere too! I couldn't be happier, the tension is finally starting to lift here :)

So I'm a happy little camper now :D I just had to share/vent!

I am so happy that everyone around me at my house loves reptiles!!! I feel for ya and everyone else who has a constant struggle to either get more herps, or make the ones they have seem a positive thing instead of a negative one. :)

Yay for you! :)

You need to have a chat with my girlfriend and tell her I can have what I want.

They all come around eventually, my fiance hated reptiles at first and now she has just as many as I do.

[Weather1]

I hope mine comes around. I have a long wish list

It took me three years to get my G/F to come aroung but slowly she is!

[eclypse_boy]

I was 12 when I wanted my first snake and yeh my mom said no way. Last year for my 23 birthday she gave in and got me Precious. Now I have to fight with her so I can play with my boa. So I went and got Chyna who my mom wont touch because she saw her eat. So as Ryan said they do all come around.

It's always nice to clear the air, especially when it means more herps! :)

My Girlfriend will only let me have turtles and tortoises so far. She's almost there with chameleons and iguanas but I think snakes and other lizards are still a few years away.

Glad to hear things are cleared up. I can't wait to see your new baby's.

HAHAHA!!! Ive got you all beat...My G/f is just as into everything we have as i am, and sometimes she is "norman".

[eyespy]

Hurrah for Pixie and the b/f!!! Wish i had as good luck with my husband, but since the divorce there's way more room for snakes and lizards and mice and insects. ;)

[nellie]

Thanks Great Pixie! I hope my husband will see the light one of these days!!!

You are so lucky Pixie. I get the same thing at home but from my husband of nearly 9 years, and we have been together for nearly 16 (believe it or not I'm not quite 30) lol, early solemates. :) I love him dearly but he can get on my nerves when it comes to my herps sometimes! But I have to say he has been getting much better since we moved into the house and have more room. :) Mind you he only gave me my own herp room so that he didn't have to see them, but I don't care, as long as I got it. lol.

He also isn't as down on it now that he has seen I can pay for some of my supplies with the money from the offspring. :) But I still hear about how much hydro I'm using. lol.

[Pixie]

Thanks for all the responses, things are getting much better around here. It's just so hard being torn between 2 things that you love.

I didn't realize how many of you had the same problem and some even worse than me! I don't know how you do it!!!

My bf was really starting to lose it on the quantity of animals that I have and the fact that we do live in an apartment. 2 dogs and terrariums all over the apartment, then mice cages and mealworms... I can understand why he was getting tired of it a bit, our living room is overtaken with tanks! So I went and got some shelving units and cleared things up a little and now we're talking about purchasing a property soon and HERP room :) :) :)!!!

Good luck to those who are still fighting the battle!
