I had a wonderful experience with my boyfriend last night which really made me realize that everyone can find someone who will understand their emet. I thought I would share it here so as to give people some hope :-)

My boyfriend and I have been together for over 2 years (I know- at 18 that is crazy! but he is wonderful) and he has known about my emet since before then. I have always been afraid of relationships because I thought they might not understand. I had a previous relationship where my bf would see that people had gotten s* in rooms and not even tell me before we entered, even though he knew about my fear.

Yesterday my bf and I went out to a wonderful dinner at a great restaurant that is near our favorite music and games store (Bull Moose, check it out if you live in new England!). It is a quick walk from one to the other. On the way there my boyfriend pointed out this neat bush to me on the way to the store, and then we entered.

That night he revealed to me that someone had v*ted on the street near the path and he showed me the bush to make sure I would not see it. After crying for a little but out of shock, I was so very grateful that he went out of his way to make sure I did not see it. This has happened before, but he did it so casually and sneaky this time that I was not scared at all and prevented ruining a wonderful night.

To show even MORE what a great bf he is, he told me that if we ever stuck together after college and had children he would always clean up any messses of s* they made.

So yeah, there are wonderful loving people who understand our plight. Hope this inspired some of you to reach out to more people for relationships.
