AIBU?
Is it that time of year again (spider related!) Warning for those who don't like spiders - photo included!

Last night I went up to bed to be greeted by this on my headboard (hopefully photo will work). I wasn’t brave enough to tackle it myself and my husband missed it so it ran over the bed and disappeared . I slept downstairs. I’m going to have to move aren’t I?! How long can they live ?!
Am I being unreasonable?

They live on average for 1-2 years. Im not going into all the 'He's more scared of you than you are of him" If you're scared of them you're scared of them.
He's very handsome, though. He's probably looking for a girl friend to make lots of cute little baby spiders. 
Joking aside put a warning up on your thread about the picture.

I just cannot do spiders. I know it's irrational but I have to get someone to chuck it out. I once had to drag the postman in to get one. 
I was in my dressing gown too.
I saw this on the news this week although it appears to be from last year. I still wonder if it's real. REALLY REALLY REALLY DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE ARACHNOPHOBIA REALLY

Now that one is too big!!!
I literally shuddered.
I can live with spiders. I don’t kill them. I have a policy of “you stay up there on the ceiling, don’t come down and you’re fine”
I regularly have a spider in each corner of the house
But that one?! Fuck no

I am petrified of them and i even had spider therapy to get over it but I knew the woman was building up for me to eventually touch one through slow desensitisation so I left. You can get spider spray on amazon that tries to keep them out. There was a huge one on my wall in the bedroom a while ago and my dh hit it with my iron!!!!!! What i rub on all our clothes!!!! 😩😩😩
