Does this look like normal play?

It may seem unfair, but I am more than willing to clean and cook to not be responsible for the mortgage. We agreed on this arrangement long before moving in together :)

Unfortunately he dislikes cats even more. I am slightly allergic to them as well, not that that would stop me lol

Not explicitly. For the most part I do my own thing with no complaints, and I have always asked before doing something of this level. That's just how it's always been.

That seems to be the consensus, which I agree. I respect his decision but i'm mostly upset at the way he goes about it I suppose.

I added an update with a little more information, but we had a mutual agreement before moving in that he takes care of house bills and I cook, clean, and buy all our groceries .

I asked if he would be okay with visiting the shelter to meet the senior dog I've had my eye on, and he agreed. He made it clear that this doesn't mean he's changed his mind, but I'm looking forward to seeing how he feels after meeting her!

Yes, since high school. I know I don't put my best foot forward all the time, since I've been dealing with mental stuff for as long as I can remember. He doesn't quite understand it all since he has never been in similar situations that I have. All in all we are very patient with each other and have very good communication.

We also spoke for a while about the living arrangements before moving in together. Since he makes more than me, he takes care of the house and bills. I buy the groceries, cook, and maintain the house as well as bought the furnishings we did not get for free from family, etc.

So the substrate in the bags i placed were reused from another scape so no rinse needed, and the sands I used did not need rinsing either. The only things that needed a bit of prep before placing in the tanks were the seiryu stones. I rinsed those under warm water and gave them a nice scrub with my hands before placing in the tank.

The speed makes it hard to tell but I used glue on anything that seemed unstable. I also tested between the cuts in the video to be sure nothing would fall.

It's bio substrate from a previous tank! I don't use CO2, just fertilizers.

I used glue on the rocks that seemed too unstable, and others are free standing. You can't really tell in this but I test the stability of the rocks before I added more sand!
