Good for you, Batmansgirl. My boyfriend is also extremely supportive and I went through this same thing in Sept.

He was sleeping at my apartment and woke up v*ing. I was a mess, but I held it together and rubbed his back and got his water. I was even in the room while he v*ed once. and I didn't get sick!!

Things like this are terrifying to us emets, but can only help us in the long run.
