I have emetophobia quite badly and obsess about me or people around me getting sick. I'm wondering how other people handle this when they are in relationships? My husband is supportive and patient but he does get extremely tired of me asking if my chicken is cooked or wanting to avoid certain people/places for fear of catching something. It does take a toll on our relationship. Also, I get stressed because I feel I can control myself (wash hands frequently, etc) but I cannot control what he does, so I worry that he will pick up a bug and bring it home. Any thoughts on how you handle a similar situation?
