    Re: i have some disturbing news

    I don't have that issue because my girl loves my snakes...
    but if I was him, I'd wait until she left, get rid of all her stuff...
    and when she came home I'd respond 'Oh I'm sorry hon...I'm just not feeling YOU...so I had to get rid of you...'

    and that would be that.

    I will let her, and the others that agree with her statement, elaborate on that.

    Well, it is the internet...how many crazy/stupid/made-up/nonsensical/"wack" stories exist?

    Forgive us for not believing everything we read on the internet.

    And don't read into that too deeply...I'm not implying your story is any of the above. I'm just sayin.

    Hiya King...
    Let me explain this a bit as the first one who said the story is flawed. I'll quote the posts for clarity.

    This is what you said (I bolded some parts):
    Quote Originally Posted by king216 View Post

(wtf) but anyways, his girlfriend MADE him feed the bp outside because she was scared of the little mouse. the snake ate & my friend was so happy, he called me & he was very excited the snake ate with no problems. the next day i called him & he answered the phone like "its all bad, very bad news." he told me he came home from work & the snake was not in the tank.... his girlfriend told him "im sorry but i had to get rid of that snake, i wasnt feelin it at all. i hate that thing so i got rid of it". he doesnt know if she killed it or let it looce, but that snake is gone.

    So, I replied with:

    Quote Originally Posted by anatess View Post

    I was in the same boat as the g/f. My husband has been wanting a snake since before we got married and I say no. I'm deathly scared of them. All my family (that includes aunt and uncles and cousins) except for one brother does not go into my house anymore. I would have been one of them. But, after 10 years of marriage, I finally relented. So, I can understand how the g/f felt.

    BUT... what is wrong with this story... he comes home and the snake is gone. How did THAT happen? Being deathly scared of snakes, I wouldn't have had the courage to go NEAR the enclosure let alone OPEN it. If that was me and I changed my mind (which I can imagine completely happening), I would stay at a friend's for a while until we figure things out.

    Or I would call my husband and tell him I can't handle it and to please move the snake somewhere out of the house. Or, if I was a real mean witch, I would call a friend to get rid of it...

    So, since we know the husband didn't know anything about it, then there's gotta be an accomplice, unless the story we got is flawed.

    Intriguing mystery, this one.

    And rabernet the administrator said:

    Rabernet's point is that so many people crucified the girlfriend when there's not enough information to go with.

    We were hoping you'd chime in to clarify some stuff...

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    my friend is not answering his phone, so idk if he found anything out, she probably didnt touch the snake herself so she could've had someone else get it, at the same time, he basically made her hold it once, he told me she held it but didnt like it at all, so who knows, maybe she did touch it since she knows the snake wont attack her, i dont know... my friend told me he doesnt know... maybe just MAYBE he knows but doesnt want to tell me because he knows i'll be upset, he knows i'll be furious if that snake is hurt, i was obsessed with that bp, it was normal with very bright colors, im gettin mad thinkin about because i have a feeling he's not gonna do nothin about the situation

    Re: i have some disturbing news

    Jesus, that wouldn't stand with me. No offense to any ladies out there whatsoever, but she would be gone so fast her head would spin. If she does that to a snake because she has a phobia, what happens when the baby starts to get on her nerves?

    I say this based on the story told.

    I don't have much of a temper, and I have to admit the mere thought of someone doing that in the way it was portrayed boils my blood. I think some guys need to have a bit more self respect, just as there are scumbag boyfriends/husbands the same holds true for the GF/wife side of the coin.

    I am a softy though and lost a job to take an injured animal to the vet.
