Girlfriend wants me to get rid of most of my plants… I have nearly 200

[Honeycomb Hideout]

I hope this is allowed, I need some advice. I’ve spent several years building my collection of plants and am right around 200. I currently live on my own and have no need to move other than to be with her. She asked me to move in, I did not ask to live with her. She has been constantly telling me that my collection would overwhelm her, and I had to fight for 3 walls to put shelves.

As I look around though, Many of them are large and very well established, grown from small cuttings, so fitting them on shelves is impossible without cutting them down. Some of my Hoyas that I’ve had are well over 3ft long and are finally blooming. Many of my trailing plants are entirely too long for shelves but she doesn’t want me to hang anything.

When I tell her that maybe it’s best that I just stay at my apartment so that I can keep my plants, she makes me feel guilty because I’m choosing plants over her. It’s not the case, but my plants are the one and only thing I have that help me with my mental health… they got me through recovery from alcohol, and they give me something to do when I’m anxious or depressed. I’ve told her this, but she insists that our future together is more important. I’m literally sick to my stomach over this.

Advice?

Bury her under the rose garden.

My mother was similarly manipulated by my father, it was nothing but a control tactic, for 30 years of their marriage, her plants used to die all of a sudden, not just plants, huge trees of Mango, Guava, and a few other fruits. And she just kept going on her plants because they were like her babies, our garden used to full of flowers no matter in which city we lived. It was too late when she got to know it was my father pouring chemicals to do it because he hated plants. And he became fearless after us knowing it and used to do it in front of us, without any shame or empathy.

My father did something like this. My mother would get water from my grandmother's house because she had one of those filters that purifies tap water, so it was way cheaper than buying water at the store. My father hated the taste. He started pouring soap and earth into the water (because my grandmother had a big terrace with plants, I guess to make it look like it was contaminated from that?). When my mother found out there was literal soap and earth in the water she blamed me, obviously, me being about 7 years old. My father made me apologize to her, despite not having done it. I also got salmonella and was very sick for a month from drinking that water. So yay for manipulative fathers?

Overwhelmed...by houseplants? He deserves to lose them all and then be cheated on within a week of moving in for even entertaining this loopy bitch and her stupid goddamn nonsense.

Tell her the plants wouldn't ask you to choose. Or give you any lip, and that's what you like about them.

I know this is reddit posting but do people who are on the internet really have girlfriends?

I know this was probably meant as a joke but it's really good advice.

shove a bunch of fertilizer up her pussy

 

[PickleRickle]

Plant your dick in her flower box, stupid.

 

[Violator]

Tell her to fuck off.

This is how @Wigger 's people wage war. Amfo-bitches.

 

[Juschippinyababe]

If you are harvesting from these plants tell her to fuck off. If they are just flowers or random plants still tell her to fuck off. Growing shit and gardening is a cool hobby, dont let a stupid hole destroy that for ya

 

[Imager]

Compromise: tell her that you’ll keep the plants and she can provide the fertilizer by shitting on them.

Do you know how much I wish I could shit on the stuff my wife collects?

Win-win.

First it'll be the plants. And if you cave, soon she'll be gunning for everything else you like, too, until there's nothing left but her.

Seriously, a lot of women love to kill your passions until the only thing you have to be passionate about is them, then they leave you for being a clingy pussy. My current girlfriend rules because she has passions, so she's supportive of mine. Tell the bitch to get a hobby herself and she might understand. Also, your plants are alive, man. You're invested in their lives. You're their father.

I also haven't ever met a woman who wouldn't live in an indoor jungle if they had the option. That psycho lawyer broad I was with's house was giant plants everywhere.
