Aka. L.P.D.R., A social norm where before getting into a long term serious relationship with another person, one of the people in the relationship insists that they have to see if their pets like their partner, which if their pets don't like their partner, they will not get into relationship with that person. It is good way to ensure your partner is trustworthy, and is a highly ethical behavior, for you are making sure your whole family, not just the people, but your pets too, like and trust your partner. The only issue with this rule is the fact that if your pet suffers from social aggression, territorial aggression, and or fear-related anxiety it can negatively impact their ability to accurately evaluate that person. If this is the case, the owner should work with their veterinarian, dog trainer, and cat behaviorist to try to treat their pet's condition before using this approach. This same norm also occurs when two people who have been in a romantic relationship are considering moving in together, so they decide to have their pets meet beforehand to see if their pets are compatible and can easily get along, which good way to prevent unnecessary conflicts before they happen. If they don't get along, the individuals may need to hold off until they can get a veterinary professional to diagnose the problem and attempt to treat it so it can be controlled or eliminated.
Adam: How are you and Victoria doing these days?
Earl: We're doing pretty good, but she insists that before we get more serious that she wants me to meet her dog and cat to see if they like me and go from there.
Adam: She is using the Let my Pets Decide Rule. You do realize if they don't like you that there is strong possibility she will end your relationship.
Earl: Yes, but I'm not worried. A friend of mine knows her and has met her dogs. He told me they tend to be very friendly.

The Chinglish translation of Chinese "让我看看"，which means "let me take a look", but since "看" in Chinese can means "see", "让我看看" might be translated as "let(让) me(我) see(看) see(看)" in a localized(to China) informal way.

the act of trauma dumping in a controlled self analytical way. you repeat the issue slowly and out loud. getting the details slowly spelled out till you have something that make sense. in personal experience would reccomend getting a recorder so that you dont have to kill phone battery, use storage space, and save to let out in a theraputic setting. the point is to maintain the mindset of helping a realized issue/trigger. slowly break the mental fire wall around the issue. usually in the process, you would be spiralling rapidly and trying to find ground, hurting yourself in the process. another recommendation is to watch low stimulation content or bluey. taking a self maintaining route to heal, like a robot that has learned to self repair. its like reopening a wound jest to pull a projectile out yourself. my migraines have become chronic, my sleep issues repeat, and my mind doesnt know how to stop. in the process i feel like im coming to very rough landing.
"homie, can you stop trauma dumping?" im sorry, i'm fluff-letting, i think i might be nuerodivergent and im unsure. (authors personal experience: i believe i might be autistic)
