my girlfriend threw up and i’m not sure how to feel
my girlfriend was recently really sick with some type of virus that made her throat really sore with lots of coughing. she was at my apartment when she initially started getting sick and i took her back to her house because of how bad it was getting. she ended up having to go to the ER and everything and i’ve been seeing her almost everyday and bringing her anything she needed to try and support her through her sickness. yesterday night she told me that she threw up the night i took her back to her house. i was really shocked when she told me this and froze and didn’t really say anything. she knows about my phobia and said that she thought it would be better if she didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to freak me out. i got really anxious after this because i’d been seeing her daily and had no clue she threw up. i honestly was really hurt that she didn’t tell me but i also felt bad that she felt she couldn’t tell me about it or find comfort in me when i know she really hates vomiting.
i’m just really confused on how to handle and process this especially with my phobia in mind and trying to not hinder my recovery. i was able to still stay with her for an hour or so after she told me before i had to leave but i was still very anxious during that time and mainly had shut down. i saw her again today and was able to stay for a while and try to not think about it. any advice or suggestions on what i should do in this situation would be greatly appreciated.
