Woman Puts Her Foot Down When Irresponsible Boyfriend Requests Pet Fish And Aquarium

First of all, animals are a commitment. They need constant attention and love and if you're not equipped to fully take on that role, along with multiple responsibilities, then you may want to take a moment and think about what you're getting yourself into. OP's boyfriend is lucky that he has OP around to do that thinking for him.

We're not saying that one shouldn't adopt an animal, we believe having an animal in your life enriches it but it's important to realize everything that comes with a pet. Yes, it's hard work, and it is extremely rewarding if you put the effort into it, but if you don't have the time then perhaps now is not the right time. We have got to say if anyone in this situation is to be considered an a-hole it would be OP's boyfriend. Case closed.
