My boyfriend is really attached to his aerodactyl, which is fine, but she’s always attacking me when he’s not around! He was upset that I actually used my Whimsicott to put it asleep a few times, but what do I do about it? I’m male, if that helps any.

It’s very possible that your boyfriend’s aerodactyl is jealous of you or possessive towards your boyfriend, anonymous. Aerodactyl are extremely rare and highly aggressive pokémon, and as such, you only see them in the company of trainers and collectors who would prize them extremely highly. If your boyfriend had his aerodactyl for years prior to meeting you, it comes as no surprise that he’s attached to it, and more importantly, any change in attention his aerodactyl is receiving from him will be interpreted as a threat.

What I mean to say is that this problem is unfortunately one that only your boyfriend can solve. Your best hope is to try and explain to him what his aerodactyl is doing when he’s not around. Perhaps even show him any scars or injuries you’ve suffered. Emphasize that you’re not making him choose between you or his aerodactyl and that you wish to be friendly with his pokémon as well; it’s just that you’re afraid of what aerodactyl will do if you let things escalate. Hopefully, your boyfriend will begin to understand and work on training his aerodactyl to accept you.

If that doesn’t work, however, I’ve heard that dating apps have undergone wonderful advancements in the past few years.
