My ex has our cat however the 3 years I lived with my cat it was life saving. 

His presence and cuddles made the worst days bearable. I would get suicidal and then remember I couldn’t leave my cat alone. 

I want to get a cat however my current partner detests this idea as she doesn’t want to be “the same as my ex” 

She told me she would throw me and the cat out if I bought one home so not sure what to do
