Girlfriend wants me to get rid of most of my plants… I have nearly 200

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

I hope this is allowed, I need some advice. I’ve spent several years building my collection of plants and am right around 200. I currently live on my own and have no need to move other than to be with her. She asked me to move in, I did not ask to live with her. She has been constantly telling me that my collection would overwhelm her, and I had to fight for 3 walls to put shelves.

As I look around though, Many of them are large and very well established, grown from small cuttings, so fitting them on shelves is impossible without cutting them down. Some of my Hoyas that I’ve had are well over 3ft long and are finally blooming. Many of my trailing plants are entirely too long for shelves but she doesn’t want me to hang anything.

When I tell her that maybe it’s best that I just stay at my apartment so that I can keep my plants, she makes me feel guilty because I’m choosing plants over her. It’s not the case, but my plants are the one and only thing I have that help me with my mental health… they got me through recovery from alcohol, and they give me something to do when I’m anxious or depressed. I’ve told her this, but she insists that our future together is more important. I’m literally sick to my stomach over this.

Advice?

tell her to SMILLLLLLE AND BLOW YOU!
