I recently gave my girlfriend my 180g tank after upgrading to a 300 for my gar/polypterus collection. She adamantly refused to help with any aspect of maintainance on the 180 when my stock was in there and would often blow up on me when I had to, say, pause the movie to commence a waterchange or feed the tank. Generally, she wouldnt even "hold this thing for one second while I do this other thing really quick." OK, OK--I'm not giving her quite enough credit. Sometimes she would hold things for me while I quickly did other things.
So...
Am I going to end up maintaining the 180 for her now that she's dead set on it being her tank in the house? Should I just do it to be the good guy? Should I be spiteful about her previous attitude and sit on the couch sipping lemonaid while she slaves to clean the filters? Hmm. Decisions, decisions.
I'm mostly joking. I will be as helpful as I possibly can as I am madly in love with this beautiful, creative, and kind woman. But what about you? What sorts of experiences have you had with your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend in this realm? I'm curious to hear how this has gone for you.
