Re: Relationship Question

I understand why you feel she would be upset, but if my long-term partner was truly and honestly upset about the tattoo I was planning to get because they have a severe phobia of the design I want, then I honestly wouldn't have a problem finding something else to tattoo on my body. Like you said, it's obviously her choice, but since this goes far beyond "I think that design just looks dumb," I think she might be more understanding than you think.

sa

Also, have you tried getting therapy for your phobia? If the tattoo is something that she feels is absolutely necessary for her to be happy, then maybe seeing a counselor might be helpful since you understandably don't want this to be a dealbreaker for your relationship

I agree with this.

A long-term relationship requires a lot of commitment. For me at least, if I've committed that much of myself to someone, I would be willing to make some choices about my body with him in mind and not just myself. That's a CHOICE, but if I were with someone for 12 years? Yeah. I'd make that choice, and I would hope my partner would too, for the sake of the relationship.

Not saying the only solution here is for OP's gf to not get the tat, but it's worth thinking about.
