Trust is easy to lose when the people around you bend the rules behind your back.

What would you do if your roommate secretly brought in banned animals, putting your lease and health at risk?

Would you just stay quiet to avoid the drama? Or would you get out fast and tell someone exactly why you’re leaving?

In the following story, one woman deals with this same scenario and is considering the latter.

Here’s what’s going on.

WIBTA if I move out my apartment and tell my therapist why?

I (26F) live with my (25m) boyfriend and his friend (23m).

Recently, I found out that my boyfriend’s friend has been keeping a pet tarantula and two pet snakes in the apartment. This is a pet-free apartment.

I had already asked the landlords before moving in if they were allowed, and was told that it was denied.

No pets equals no animals or arachnids in this apartment. Cool!

It was discussed before the lease was signed, and I assumed we all agreed to those conditions.

Everything was great until she found out that a roommate was hiding pets.

Fast-forward to last night, and I found out, after coming home from group therapy to be told by the roomie, that he has a tarantula and snakes in the closet.

He showed me pictures of snakes and spiders he wanted, and I thought they were cool.

I have no problems with snakes or spiders. What I have a problem with is that I wasn’t told, and that we were at risk of violating the lease.

My boyfriend knew about the spider a week before, citing the roomie’s telling him not to tell me, and he didn’t see it as a big deal because it’s just a pet spider in a container.

But he found out about the snakes the same time as me, and once again, the roomie said the landlord “can’t enter the apartment without 24 hours’ notice, and we can hide them before then.”

It gets worse.

I was both devastated, angry, and just numb at the whole ordeal.

To make matters worse. I discovered that the dead mice were warmed up in a mug from the kitchen.

Now all the mugs look the same, but the roomie doesn’t wash dishes, and I don’t have faith that they aren’t put in the sink with the rest of the dishes and sometimes thawed food.

Now, she wants to move but is unsure about what will happen.

I’m the only one who cleans the apartment and, well, the dishes. I put them in the same sink water again, completely unaware of this until last night.

I’m extremely worried about cross-contamination, and I think our butts are lucky no one has gotten extremely ill.

I’m planning on moving out, and I wanted to talk to my therapist first about the whole thing, seeing as I’m in intensive outpatient treatment, and a move and stress would affect my mental health worse.

My friend pointed out that the therapist might report, cause as of now, I’m a vulnerable adult with my mental illnesses, and that is an extreme violation of health and safety.

AITA?

Yikes! That’s a lot to deal with when you’re already overwhelmed.

Let’s check out what advice the fine folks over at Reddit can offer her.

This person suggests she research the laws.

As this reader points out, they all agreed to it up front.

For this person, it’s all about the unfair situation.

Here’s someone who doesn’t think the therapist will report it.

Health is the most important thing.
