Her Ex Is Demanding That They Share Custody Of Her Hamster, And She’s Positive He’s Only Doing This So He Can Weasel His Way Back Into Her Life
An 18-year-old girl used to be in a relationship with a 19-year-old guy, but a week ago, she ended up dumping him.
Although they were friends before they decided to be more than that, she felt that their relationship was entirely one-sided, and they ended up being pretty off and on for the year they were seriously dating.
Anyway, before they broke up, her ex purchased a 7-month-old hamster for her, and this was totally out of left field.
“He literally gave me a hamster without any supplies or warning,” she explained. “I’ve had to buy everything for her so far, so I just rationalized that she was mine.”
“This was supported by the fact that he would ignore her completely when we would hang out at my place, and her permanent home was my room. To be honest, if it was up to me, I would not have a hamster at my grown age, but now that it has been a good few months, I’m a little attached.”
“He blew up my phone, demanding to speak to me, and told me that he wanted shared custody of the hamster.”
She found it hysterical that her ex was insisting on sharing custody of her hamster, and she figured he had to be joking.
Nope, it turns out that he was completely serious in his expectation that they would share the hamster.
She really thinks that her ex is only into the hamster right now because he’s using it as a way to spend time with her and “weasel his way” back into her life.

Her ex is still insisting that they switch custody of their hamster on a weekly basis, and she has no interest in seeing him weekly from here on out.
“I know within my soul that this is BS because he doesn’t even know her name,” she said. “She’s called Gary, and he’s never said her name correctly once. His only leg to stand on is the fact that he bought her, but like I’ve said, I bought everything else.”
“The thing with hamster supplies is the fact that the food alone costs 3x more than the hamster itself. I just want him off my back, our relationship wasn’t good. And to be so honest, I don’t think he is above hurting her while she’s in his custody.”
“He’s also being vile and making posts about me and Gary. I’ve offered to literally pay him the difference, but he’s being disproportionately stubborn.”
She’s curious if she’s the one who isn’t being reasonable here for not wanting to fork over Gary.
Do you think she should agree to split custody of Gary or tell her ex to take a hike?
