Significant Other Losing Interest...

[moonlightgdess]

I agree with everyone. It's your hobby, its who you are, and he's trying to change that. Time to have a serious sit down conversation because I bet its not just the fact you want more snakes that's bothering him. Sounds like there's some underlying resentment going on over this or something else entirely. Maybe he wants more time together or he sees too much money being spent (which, at 8 months of "age" is really none of his business unless its his money you're spending).

Talk, talk, talk. If he's worth it, its important that you both sit down and communicate your needs and concerns. And I wish you luck just remember: snakes love unconditionally

Hubby and I have been married for 12 years, we got into the snakes together, so we are both in on it. After 12 years of marriage, if one of us was growing tired of it, we would have to talk and work something out. However, a bf of 8 months, I wouldn't think twice about chosing MY hobby over. Seems like there are lots of red flags for me. You gotta remember, the right person will support you unconditionally. If you can't talk to him and get him to support you, move along, somebody else will. Don't let somebody try to change who you are, and what you do and love. That would only lead to resentment and even bigger problems down the road. Good luck!
