anyone have this problem?

If you allow people to lead you around by the nose in life, it's pretty simple,they will. "Boy friends" and "girlfriends" both have something in common- they are expendable. if they dont accept you for who you are including your passions, dreams and wants out of life there is a simple answer, there are people that will. When I first started dating my fiance she thought I was a nut because I had so many ball pythons until she realized the passion I have for my animals and building this business into the vision that Ive had since I was a small child. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart and that is my other passion- and she has never once said no to either because she knows I take care of what I need to. Is she fully comfortable with them? NO. Is she accepting of it? most definitely, because its so much of my life. We purchased a new house awhile back for after the wedding in july and I have seen a twinkle in her eye as she has seen the process of the big climate controlled ball python room with a walk in incubator come together the last couple of months. The moral here is boyfriends and girlfriends come and go but a true life partner is just that, someone that supports your passions, dreams, and your life wants. If youre with someone that dont- you are sadly wasting your time.

exactly. if hes "jealous", like LGray said, its going to get worse (wayyy worse) before it gets better. ive been in a few relationships like that. your boyfriend obviously isnt accepting you for who you are, what your passions are, and is trying to change it. yes, you guys have been together for over 2 years, and the way hes acting just presented itself....if i were you...i would compromise (you spend less time with your snakes, him less with video games) and see if this helps at all. also talk it out before you just call it quits. insecurities are hard to overcome, and it sounds like your guy is having a moment.

have you ever asked him to get rid of the computer, or ps, or xbox or whatever it is??

haha, my fiance begs me to play COD with him, but i just sit and watch contently...hes not on that much, so its not a big deal to me. I wouldnt ask him to get rid of it anyways, since I bought it for him for christmas.
