IMO you really need to have a sit Dow with the wife and have a good talk about respect for each others passions. A marriage is not going to last without that mutual respect. If you love animals and want to have a pet, your wife should try to respect that. Asking you to leave over the animal is not only totally disrespectful it is downright immature. Just some food for thought.

i had to convince my bf (we live together) to let me get one because at first he said no, but we talked it out, and eventually he said yes. it is a respect thing, your wife doesnt have to like snakes, but she does have to respect the fact that YOU do
