Significant other doesn't understand taking mushrooms

Been with my girl for going on 3 years and she's watched me cultivate from spores to tripping off what I grew. She thinks the cultivation aspect is interesting and even helped with stuff along the way. When it came time to me eating them though she said she doesn't understand why anyone would do that to themselves 
I'm not pushing her to try them with me but it would be nice to share together. Anyways, I just find it funny that I have held mushrooms in such high regard over the years and think of them almost as sacramental and I date someone who will not try them. She's read trip reports, spoke to me and my friends that trip, and just doesn't get why someone would purposely do it and thinks she'd have a terrible time on them.

The simple fear of the unknown - Leads others into providing a self-satisfying story of what they think might happen. It provides a more comforting solution to their own egos wants and experiences - rather than acknowledging their own ignorance. I think of it as the old 'heads in the sand, butts in the air' trick....

My gf thinks the same way. It's probably for the best because she is prone to having high anxiety and panic attacks on occasion. I'd feel terrible if she freaked out because I pressured her into it. However, I got her interested into deems because of the documentary we saw together on Netflix, hahah. She even agreed to tripsit me when I smoke some next weekend because she's curious how it'll be like

I think it's more of judging people instincts kicking in. She loves you and knows you do it even helps you grow. But as lomg as she doesnt take them she can say " im better then you" thoughts. My wifes the same way. Pisses me off.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."
Thats the einstein quote that always comes to my mind when i see stories like this.
its unfortunate but im grateful for the curious ones makes one feel less alone and a minority.

-------------------- The biggest trip of my life was realizing all of the events and actions described in posts made by this account were never real and had never actually happened, but were instead the delusional ramblings of a severely mentally ill human being. I just had to move on for my own good. I love you all.

What does this have to do with cultivation. Grow a dick and be with someone who is ok with your choice to co-trip.

of course she cant understand such an experience when she's never tried. if she says she understands she'd be lying 
my mushrooms dont understand why I need a gf or why her stuff gets so much more room than the mush cult stuff does. But I dont expect them to understand, they're mushrooms ffs!

I think it would be better to get your gf to try microdosing first to get a feel for what it's like. Then you can up the dose according to what she feels comfortable with
