I don't have a foot fetish, but I'm assuming it's a pretty big part in his life... So why can't he just not like her feet? I don't really think its fair to tell someone to just accept it and that they'll learn to love something in due time when it may really be that big of a deal for him. It's not a long list, it's just feet, you like what you like. OP, If it bothers you so much and you can't look past then it's up to you. A lot of times when we get to know people ,things about them (physically and not) become more attractive( and vice versa), but if you don't think it'll get to that point then it's up to you. I don't really think your shallow when a majority of people have had the same thoughts just never posted it. It's not like you're picking every little thing to complain about, you just aren't to fond of her feet. I think it's a bit odd to not want to be with someone because of their toes, but like I said, I don't have any sort of interest in them. It seems like nowadays you can't talk about what you like/dislike physically out in the open unless you simply include everyone so someone isn't offended, and if you happen to get offended when you were simply wanting opinions and advice then it's "your fault" because apparently you can't get advice without getting called "stupid", "shallow", "arrogant" etc. If I posted a thread saying this guy seems great but, let's say I don't like his height (he's just too tall, too short or whatever) for example, people would be giving the same answers telling me that we're the same height when laying down or that I'll grow to love his height, when in reality I probably won't. If you have little preferences ( since you have a foot fetish I'm assuming it means a lot to you) it's ok. Do I think you should let it get in the way of what a relationship could be if you already have a great connection? Not really, but I'm not you. You already said it's really important so you have to think if it's important enough to break it off or if it's worth continuing to build. If you can't look past it then don't, but if she's as amazing as you say then realize you could be losing someone very special. Some people find things like that "quirky" or "cute" and you just so happen to find it unattractive, either way, I hope everything works/has worked out 🙂
