You haven’t tried the varieties that you can’t buy at the store.
Grow some Cherokee purple tomatoes, they will change your whole perspective on what a tomato should taste like. My SO disliked raw tomatoes until we took a chance on something different
In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.
A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar ‘squishy’ textures.
I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.
With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

You assume this is about taste.

The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.
Your SO and I are not the same.
The commercial Roma tomatoes are awful in taste and texture.
Budyonovki for example have a very different texture. Not squeaky but soft like a very ripe pear.

Hey, I didn’t mean to pressure you into anything. It must be really tough with a reaction like this, wish you all the best.
Candy Sweet Icicle is another recommended variety. I never used them in anything because they go straight into my mouth as soon as they are ripe.
