I’m New :-)

Hello, My name is Emily, I'm 24, and from Connecticut.

I'm so happy to have found this site! I've been an emet for a long time
(probably since I was a kid). I really have no idea what triggered it. But I
do feel that the more years go by that I don't v*, the more terrifying the
possibility of it happening becomes.

I also seem to have some obsessive-compulsive traits, AND I have IBS
(Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and some definite control issues. I
definitely think that all of these things are connected and come down
to me having an overactive mind. But despite the fact that I understand
it's all in my head, I still can't do anything about it.

Right now my biggest fear is my fiance's upcoming bachelor party. I have
worked very hard over the years to avoid v*-ing drunk people at all
costs, even avoiding caring for drunk friends and roomies when they're
sick. My fiance used to drink a lot, but doesn't usually get sick from it
(that I know of anyway)... but I'm afraid with the bachelor party it will be
different... he's going to be so drunk and his friends will drop him off at
my apartment and I will be left to take care of him!!

I am at a loss as to what to do. It is to the point where I have been asking
him to sleep somewhere else, anywhere, so that I don't have to deal with
him v*-ing at our apartment.

Hi I'm new also. I get the same way with my husband. If he's had too much to drink I would always try to get him to sleep somewhere else. If he wouldn't sleep somewhere else then one of us was on the couch or hiding out downstairs in our unfinished basement with earplugs in.

I would really try to convince him to stay with a friend or else maybe you could sleep somewhere else? If his friends know of your fear maybe you could talk to them about it. I totally understand. I didn't have a big wedding because of the emet. I was afraid if there was alot of alcohol then someone or my husband would drink too much and get s* I ended up just having a small dinner with about 20 people. I even made my husband promise not to drink at all because I didn't want him to ruin my wedding day which he happily complied.

Hi Emily and Jodi,

Welcome to the site. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

I sympathise with your predicament. I would agree with Jodi. If youre that scared, arrange for him to spend the night elsewhere, or you yourself spend the night elsewhere. Then you wont have to deal with it!! Im sure he will understand hun xxx

Jodi, sounds like you have a great hubby! xx
