Hello everyone! I just joined your group and am excited to have fellow emets to talk to. My son was sick last week with a stomach bug that was so contagious that his school was closed for 2 days!! I was freaking out, to say the least. My husband is such a wonderful help when situations like this happen. Every relationship I have ever been in has been negatively effected and even ended because of my phobia and I am scared that my husband will grow to resent me more and more. Does anyone else have issues like this with their significant others? My husband asked me if I loved him more thanI feared vomit? He asked if he was dying of appendicitis and was throwing up, would I be able to help him or would I watch him die!! I was shocked and my guilt is drowning me! Does anyone else have experience with this?
My fiance has learned a lot about mental illness because of me. He has never posed such question to me, and I know what my answer would be. I keep a lot to myself because I don't want to burden anyone, but if I'm at my worse he is right beside me. I would do anything for him. If he was dying of something and throwing up I would be right beside him because I love him more than I love myself.
