I've just recently got with a new bloke and explained my phobia to him when we first met so he knew what he was letting himself in for! He has done a little research on emetophobia so he has a little understanding BUT, he doesn't understand completely! I was feeling ill last Fri night and I had to ask him to leave after he had been here for an hour and he was utterly devastated. I understand that he cares about me and he wants to look after me when I'm feeling poorly but how do I explain that if I'm going to v* he cannot be here or see me???!!!! Can anyone help me? I really like this guy and he is trying so hard so I don't want to scare him off!
