We probably don't have to explain this to most of you, but for the small percentage of our readers that have never heard of a phobia, buckle up, this is going to be a wild ride. This story has got fears, broken promises, relationship drama, and most importantly llamas, and it's all thanks to Reddit! Keep on reading to see what we mean.
Maybe the title for this article was a bit misleading, because if we're being honest, the llama drama in this situation is very real, and there's a good reason for it to boot. Apparently, the young couple in question– who we read about on the Am I The A*****e sub on Reddit– were supposed to have plans with a mutual friend, when all of a sudden the girlfriend cancelled. Now, everyone has their different reasons why they might cancel plans, but this was a new one even for us. The girlfriend actually cancelled their plans because she found out there was going to be a petting zoo at the party! Can you believe that? A petting zoo was reason enough for her to completely bail. But, even after she'd explained to her boyfriend that she'd had a traumatic experience involving llama spit and a petting zoo when she was a young teenager, he still didn't understand why she wouldn't go. So, then he turned to Reddit to check if he was being dense, or if his girlfriend's fears were unfounded. That led us down a rabbit hole about llama spit, camelids, relationship trouble, and a whole bunch else.

There are a few things that stick out to us immediately when reading this passage. First and foremost, a little forward of the boyfriend to question his girlfriend in this situation, no? It sounds like she's sharing a traumatic experience, and he might be acting a tad bit insensitive. At the same time, maybe he's right. At the end of the day, could llama spit really be that bad?
We appreciate the boyfriend's attempt here to make a compromise. If she doesn't want to go near the llamas, she doesn't have to see the llamas. But, if she's really sticking to her position in this situation, maybe he's going to need to reevaluate his. After all, the phrase is "Happy Wife, Happy Life," isn't it? It's not "Happy Wife, Make Her Go See Llamas."
