I guess my guy is lucky. I entered a relationship with a man addicted to snakes...while I dealt with a phobia of snakes. He actually never pushed me...I came to him when I was ready to work on it. He doesn't live with me, and is unable to have his snakes in his home cause it's an apartment that doesn't allow them. His were being fostered.
I am now fostering one from our herp society, he gave me the wee little ball, and we are considering me taking in his favorite, the pastel male. My best friend will be looking at taking the corn soon.

My point is is that relationships are about growing together. From my perspective, this woman is new and forcing him out of a 10 year friendship and companionship. I hope she sleeps well at night.
