Is there a particular reason why we see so many crabs with cigarettes?

AITA for buying a pet lobster?

quote:

I (29F) really love weird exotic pets. Right now, I have a few babies - Honey, Lola and Jeanie (3F) are my sugar gliders, Frank (1M) is my hedgehog, and Gloria (9F) is my axolotl. I've always wanted to open up my own exotic rescue if I had the money to, but that's beside the point. Basically, exotic animals are a huge part of my life and always will be.

Please note: I work from home and have since I entered the workforce and plan to continue until I retire. I have more than enough time for all of my animals - the sugar gliders ESPECIALLY need the love.

My BF (I'll call him Brad - 30M) and I have been dating for 8 months and things are starting to get serious. We have not discussed moving in or the future much, but he's the perfect guy in every regard - especially because he LOVES my animals as much as he loves me.

Last week, I decided to spring on an animal I'd been wanting since college - a lobster. I already had an adequately sized tank and was financially able to add a new pet to my squad, so while searching for fish to add to an existing tank, I found lobsters for sale and purchased one. His name is George and he is so perfect! I could watch him for HOURS, he's such a good little guy.

Brad does not agree with me. Brad HATES George.

Brad thinks it was a jerk move to not consult him before purchasing George, even though we don't live together and have no intention to move in together anytime soon. Apparently, if I had asked, he would've said not to buy George because he thinks a lobster is a "stupid" pet and that he serves no purpose other than to be eaten. He threatened to cook George if I did not return him.

Since then, I took away his apartment key and told him off. I asked him not to speak to me or come by my house until I've figured out what to do.

My mom thinks I'm an idiot for turning away a perfect guy over a lobster. She has always disapproved of me for not wanting children and just wanting animals, though, so I take her opinion with a grain of salt. Some of my friends think that Brad was bordering on abusive behavior but I feel that's too rash to say. Another one of my friends pointed out that maybe Brad HAD wanted to move in but I bought George before giving Brad the chance to invite me to move in, so I was really in the wrong.

Since Tuesday, I have not seen or spoken to Brad, but we are technically still dating. I don't know what to do.

Please, Reddit, AITA for buying a pet lobster?

ETA: All my pets are captive-bred, as were their parents and likely their grandparents. They are not suitable for the wild and are not wild animals. If I released them to their "natural habitats" they would not survive. I do not support wild-caught exotic pets and never will.

ETA 2: My animals have the proper enclosures and are absolutely spoiled rotten. My pets are my babies and I could never do anything but give them the best life possible.

i'm imagining some old person dying with a like 25lb pet lobster theyve had for 60 years and the whole family having a huge schism over whether or not to cook it

I did some googling because of this post and I learned lobsters can live for 100 years and can get up to 4 feet long and weigh up to 60 lbs. That's an insane amount of snip snop. 🦞
