How do you guys do it? How do you handle the worry, if any, when and if your spouse (bf/gf/wife/husband...booty call?) will v* or if they have the noro in their mouth when you kiss them etc.?

Ha Ha - booty call. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]
Don't worry about kissing your significant other (or even your booty call). Noroviruses aren't transmitted via saliva.

When I was an emetophobe my husband threw up ONCE. I ran away downstairs, screamed, cried, plugged my ears, refused to go near him for days. Is that coping? lol
He hasn't thrown up in 23 years btw and he's not phobic about ANYTHING!

Sage - you probably frightened him into never v* again hee hee!
When my fiance got noro i ran into the furthest room from the loo, put my fingers in my ears, cried then came on here in a panic - the ironic thing is, it was me that had given it to him and i'd had it myself the day before [img]smileys/smilies_09.gif[/img] I did manage to brave sitting on the floor in the front room right by the door ready to run at a seconds notice, when he came back in but in the end HE told ME to go away as I was making him feel worse...

My husband threw up in September. I stood in the
bathroom door shaking in my boots, trying to say over and over "It's alright,
it's going to be alright".
It was very frightening, but we got through it, him un-traumatized.

Once again, you can't catch it from saliva.

I know! [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] But then again who would kiss someone who just threw up?
Gross! [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]

You CAN get it from kissing him right afterward. But not the next morning once he's brushed his teeth or whatever. He'd have to have actual vomit particles in his mouth to transmit it to you. Three days is def. overkill!

Haven't had to deal with it yet, we live in a small flat so I'm sure I'll be out on the balcony so as to avoid hearing anything lol but I'll try very hard to view it as an opportunity to face my fears and be there for her.
My gf is like your husband Sage, I don't think she has thrown up for 15 years and she is not an emetophobe!
Be courageous, believe in yourself, and be the best woman you can be. I'm with you all the way.

my new bf parties a lot so he v* more than anyone ive ever seen and i havent told him about my emet bc past bf's have made fun of me about it, and didn't really try to understand. he always tells me when he feels n* tho and when he runs to the bathroom i just run to my room and shut the door and plug my ears. if he knew i was so scared of it im sure he would be more cautious, but im sure you guys on here understand how hard it is to tell a new bf. he hasn't had a sv* or anything since we've been together.....i worry about his 2 children getting s* more than anything though. im always like PLEASE let them be at their moms house when they v*
PLEASE
i guess its prep for my little one on the way, although i think its a little different bc his kids aren't mine.
