Indeed. I've been a lucky guy on that front. I'm even talking to the level of one girlfriend who willingly forced herself to handle my Colombian rainbow boa to try and get over her fear (I later realized that was really just because she was very clingy and kinda desperate). The two longest running relationships I've been in were with women who at least found snakes interesting, if not enjoyed keeping them as well. I'm just glad I am with the one who genuinely enjoys them now... lol

So I honestly don't have any experience in a situation like the OP. It always makes me curious how people deal with it outside of giving up their pets or splitting up with the guy/gal with the phobia.
