Joel and I have been together for six years, lived together for one, and he has made it abundantly clear that this is MY hobby. He gets involved, helps me with shows and with meeting customers, but the bottom line is that I am the one who feeds, cleans, and pay for the snakes. He will help here and there, but it is my responsibility and one that I take on willingly.
The plus side is that he does talk snakes with me occasionally and I do do projects that are based on his likings (cause I can't decide). Thank goodness for the VPI book so I can point out animals... "You like this one, right, honey?"
There are times where he gets exasperated with my constant need for MORE, but he is my rock when it comes to what I should and shouldn't do with particular customers or animals.
I can always count on him to help if I really need it.
Isn't that what a partner is supposed to do?
