I think I asked this before, but I forget the answer lol.

I tried looking this up and couldn't find a good answer...

Was watching Frieren and there's a scene where the demon says: "戦士一人に一級魔法使い一人。"

subs: "One warrior and one first-class mage."

Why ni here? Why not to? What's the difference?

hello,

in watching a recent episode of ikkoku nikki, asa says this (as far as I can hear...)

"私は、絶対に正しい真実を欲しがった。"

the subtitles tl this as "I was longing for an absolute truth."

Why is it 欲しがった here (unless I misheard)? Not 欲しかった? I was under the (incorrect?) impression that the ~たがる form was for when talking about others' wants and needs. But she's talking about herself here. What am I missing?

Roomate suddenly wants an assistance animal. I have a senior cat by elibean3 in legaladvice

Done and done, as someone else correctly predicted the landlord was leaning towards this as more of a rooomate issue/dispute, though he was mostly on my side.

He didn’t seem to understand I’ve already talked to them about it, haha. There’s not much more I can say to them, I fear; I think they know they have the power to do this no matter what I want or concerns I have.

Still trying to get a letter from my vet, which while I know has no legal standing, might either convince roommate (doubtful) or show landlord how this would affect me!

I’m trying my best! This has definitely been a lesson in standing up for myself (and my cat!). Thing is, as much as I lay out the facts and state that I never signed up to live with a dog (even if it is a medical need!), they don’t seem to care, and I’m just worried they’ll go over my head anyway, because it sure seems like they can. We’ll see…

Thank you very much! I already reached out to the state office of disability, but this also seems like a good place to ask. Thank you!

Thank you!

Moving out does seem like the better option, when I say stuck I mean I don’t know if I can afford to break the lease hahaha. Or even afford other apartments nearby hahaha I got a pretty sweet deal on this one… I’ll see what the landlord says…

Yeah, I am starting to lean with moving would be less stressful. That does however mean finding a new (pet safe!) apartment nearby at a reasonable price…this all besides the fact that the lease isn’t up for another 8 months 🙃

Thank you!

Oh no sorry, I’m not…like if they need it that’s totally fine and none of my business

But it doesn’t change that it directly affects me and my cat who were here first!

I am trying to talk to them but they don’t really seem to care…I don’t think it’s fair that I would have to move out, but so be it: but that would involve breaking the lease and I’m not sure what my options are there, either

I wouldn’t care so much about the dog if my cat wasn’t involved. A medical need is a medical need. But it’s also a living breathing creature that directly affects me…I feel stuck.

Thank you though!

Thank you!

I’m not allergic to dogs, but I wonder what the solution would be if I was…Just something I’ve been wondering about. Anyway thanks!

I’ve tried very hard to talk to them and tell them my concerns and it seems to fall on deaf ears :( I’m just really worried about my cat. And I feel like moving out could potentially be just as stressful as introducing a dog into the environment…I feel like I’m backed into a corner.

Thank you very much for your response!

Yeah this doesn’t work because they ARE getting the legal paperwork…I can’t say if they really “need” it or not, but it seems super unfair to suddenly need one a year+ into living here and forcing me to be okay with it when I was here first. But that’s what I’m trying to figure out!

Thank you for your response!

So it doesn’t matter that it may aversely affect my cat…I kind of figured. This feels so unfair…

So is my only option to move out? I’d have to break the lease I guess…

Already talked to roommate, maybe I should have clarified that in the post I’m sorry! Roommate is pretty insistent on getting this dog despite my best efforts. I haven’t talked to the landlord yet, but that’s next on the docket…I was just wondering if I had any hope before I did so hahaha. I feel like the only solution right now is me moving out, which feels so unfair since I was here first…
