Re: I feel like a burden :(
i think you just really need to push yourself right ....sounds like you're in a bad patch of emet right now.....don't let it take over.......if you care enough about your relationship with him you will have to really make the effort to get out of your comfort zone a little more......i would think that spending time with him would be a great distraction from the emet.........take turns going to each other's homes.......might make it easier.
don't let this stupid phobia win........go have fun.....
Re: I feel like a burden :(
Hey I feel the same. Three partners have had to "deal" with my issues and each time I have split up they seem to branch out and do things that perhaps we couldnt. Its made me feel very crap about my problem and how it affects everyone. My current partner really wants to go abroad and he is a real "doing" person. Whereas Im happy being at home reading a book etc. I feel I am holding him back from what he wants to do and its affecting my kids too. I know Im a burden, but I dont think I can do this alone as if the kids got sick I would have to deal with it. I think if we were to ever split up, it would be because of this stupid phobia.
Re: I feel like a burden :(
I can relate to how you feel. I started dating my bf since april too and that is these past 8 months have been the worst for me =( I have acid reflux and ibs and its just been an awful year for me.
Ive thought about breaking up with him because i feel he deserves someone who can actually go out and have fun. He always gets stuck at home watching movies with me. He says that it wouldnt be fair for me to make the decision for him. Might be the same for your b.f... if they stick around that just shows what i great guy he is. As long as he is willing to support you and be by your side during your treatment, dont let him go. You should make more of an effort to see him though, dont let this phobia ruin your life completely.
Goodluck!! take care :)
