Relationships
21F- STRUGGLING!! I just ended my 2 year relationship because my boyfriend threw up in my bathroom and I was terrified of him for a whole year after.
At first I wouldn’t let him in my house, then I progressed to letting him sleep round but only in the spare room. For 6 months I refused to let him into my bedroom before I eventually broke it off.
He did nothing wrong and I know that but I couldn’t even look at him without seeing that mental image. I was always on high alert and extremely anxious around him and it wasn’t fair on either of us.
I’m really struggling with balancing this phobia and my life, I really loved him but I know i’ll never see him the same. I feel like such a horrible person.
So I ask, is it possible to maintain a relationship as an emetophobic person?
