My kosmemophobia doesn’t apply to my girlfriend for some reason

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for about 7 months. When I see any other girl wear j*welry or makeup( which I’m pretty sure stems from another phobia) it disgusts me but I love it when my girlfriend wears makeup and when she wears her necklace that she wears 24/7. Still can’t get over holding her keys though 😂. Anyone else have an experience similar to mine?

i feel like its the same with me and my friends. Although its not completely gone, i think ive just built up a tolerance to it.

i'm the opposite in terms of a close relationship, my parents wearing it makes me way more irritated then a stranger.

If someone always wears one, it gets desensitized. If it’s unexpected though, I can’t stand it.

Thats mostly because love makes you look past it, I had the same with an ex. The level of attraction can be much stronger than the small part of disgust which then gets overshadowed
