So for background information, I’ve been deathly afraid of rollercoasters since I was born honestly. I think it’s a hereditary fear since my father and my grandmother are both scared of rollercoasters too. But anyways. I met my gf in my sophomore year of college we were both art majors at the time. She caught my eyes from across campus and I thought I’d never see someone that beautiful ever again. A real once in a lifetime moment you know. Well she ended up being in one of my classes and I pounced asap. Everything was cool and going great for a while. We told each other our fears (that includes the rollercoaster fear) and I thought she accepted that. Fast forward a fee months later she tells me her family has invited me to Disney world. So naturally I’m panicked because Disney has coasters and she wants to get on them all. I tell her it would be better if she invites a different friend since as stated above I’m deathly afraid of the coasters. She says it’s too late the ticket is already in my name and the disney ticket is already bought. We live on the west coast so on such short notice not a lot of people can make that flight out the blue. I end up going but I’m terrified the entire way there. We end up visiting every park out there and I get on most every ride. But after every ride my legs are shaking crazy and im freaked out. She tells me I am ruining the whole trip because her family can see Im scared and the vibe is being thrown off. I should add she told me id never have to ride anything else if i rode most of the rides at Disney. That being at the forefront of my mind and trying to not ruin the trip i rode almost everything doing my best to get over the fear and start enjoying the rides. Fast forward like a year or so shes saying she wants to go to cedar point with me. I remind her of the agreement we made at disney. She then proceeds to say I have to pick between riding the rollercoasters or we break up. I really dont want to split since we’ve been together so long but for her to give me an ultimatum I feel expendable. I’ve tried to read through r/rollercoasters to see what they advise to get over them but they only say get on the coaster and that is literally impossible for me. I also have watched like every youtube video but they say the same.
TL;DR I’m deathly afraid of rollercoasters and my gf gave me an ultimatum of breaking up or getting on rollercoasters
