Emetephobia

[Gaston11]

DP doesn’t look well and says he feels very sick. I have told him I may stay on the sofa tonight so I don’t have to listen to him throw up as our bed is right next to the toilet. He’s trying to make me feel bad but I really would feel so much better downstairs where I can shut it all out under a cover. I know I sound ridiculous but this really is how it makes me feel. If I stay in the bedroom with him I won’t sleep

Even if you weren't emetophobic, sharing a bed with someone who has a vomiting illness is neither a pleasant experience or a good idea. I'm not emetophobic but I wouldn't do it - partner smelling of sick and breathing germs everywhere - no thanks. He's an adult so he should be able to manage a night on his own.

I hope he's better soon and that you manage a decent night's sleep on the sofa.

I csn sympathise.
Def go downstairs.
I'd leave for a friend's house personally but I am extreme.
Hope he's OK

@Rekorderlig88 Oh I would if I could! Just want morning to come real fast so I don’t feel confined to the living room. It sucks

Clean the bathroom. Air the house. Distance from him. Bowl and towels by the bed.

Yanbu at all - he's an adult and can deal with it. Even if you didn't have emetophobia, what's the point of exposing yourself to potential vomit?? I'd steer clear.

How is he today?

@whitehorsesdonotlie Thank you. He was sick a couple of times in the night but luckily I ended up staying downstairs so didn’t hear him. He’s still unwell so I’m staying well clear😬

Good plan. Hope he feels better soon!
