How to motivate my boyfriend to try to come over his arachnophobia?

Christ, just reveal your true form to him and either break up or devour him after mating.

Women make relationships so damn complicated.

say that he is a pussy and that you leave him for an alpha male if he doesn't get over it

Most of home spiders in Europe are afraid from you as much as you afraid from them. They're not ill-natured pests, nor invasive. There are videos about people holding them on their hands. Japan eat spiders and hornets, that's how they solve their insect problem.

I know that, and i told him about that. He's still not willing to try.

Are you me?

It's been nearly 10 years and I've just accepted he'll be like that forever. He's nervous around snakes and reptiles too; I've had a snake forever and he's pretty good with it now, he can give him water and stuff but the spider thing just never gets better... Because it's external, it's not something we can fix ourselves for sure...

They're cool though. Good luck. You may just have to accept it in the end.

>Pic related, that's Totem
A few years ago a pal of mine, let's call him Joe, got shitfaced and slept in the middle of the forest. He woke up with a small snake crawling out of his mouth. After that he was fucking terrified of snakes, and as it so happens my roommate keeps a pet snake we call Totem. So we get together and Joe does his best not to look at the poor snake, while everyone else that showed up were super intrigued with it. Eventually one guy decides to be a cunt, take harmless Totem and lays it on Joe. He burst into tears, and started punching the cunt that got Totem on him.

I don't have any phobia but upon seeing this guy freaking out the way he did, I know you shouldn't fuck with it. Your bf may have good reasons for being afraid of spiders, and even if he doesn't it's his decision to stay afraid, not yours. I'd honestly say - don't try to meddle with it, either get over it and keep spiders away from him, or break it off.

Best way is to not force him, really. If you find a spider in the house, catch it for him. While you're holding the spider, admire it, comment on it. "Oh wow, this one's got such beautiful colors" "This one's really cute, all fuzzy". Hold them on your bare hands. If you have problems with any other bugs, suggest keeping a spider in the room in a designated spot as an alternative to insecticide bombing.

Set an example for him. If every time he hears about spiders from you, it's positive, that starts to associate positive things, and may encourage him to try looking at them more closely later.

The more you try to force it, the more he's gonna dig in his heels. It's just human nature. So don't force it.
