This started a blowout fight between them, and finally, her husband relented and promised not to bring the aquarium home with him. Sadly, she thinks he’s lying.
She’s worried that if her husband keeps going down this path, it’s going to wreck their marriage and they won’t be able to recover.
While she adores her husband and thinks it’s wonderful he provides his fish with incredible care, his hobby has taken over his life and hers, too.
It’s to the point where it’s now ruining her mental health, and she hates having to look at coral and fish in every single room of her home.
She’s willing to compromise and allow her husband to keep either one huge aquarium or two small ones, but everything else he needs to get rid of.
“I understand that it might be difficult for him to part with them, especially [since] he’s attached emotionally to his creations,” she said.
“He actually takes great care of these aquatic creatures without my involvement, especially his corals. Honest to God, they are stunning! But we simply can’t keep living like this. It’s unsustainable and unfair to me.”
“As much as I want to support my husband in his hobby, I also have to think about our future and our well-being as a couple. It breaks my heart that we might have to choose between each other and these aquariums. I hope we can agree on a final solution.”
What advice do you have for her?
