Am I wrong?

Question

On top of feeling awful everyday and having no energy to do anything, I’m struggling emotionally and afraid it’s affecting my relationship with my husband.  He wants to help and support me but I don’t want him near me.  I just want to be left alone.  I don’t want anyone see me like this, especially with my head in the toilet.  He doesn’t understand but I just really want to be left alone right now.  Am I wrong for this?  Any advice?

Answer

I’d just talk to him about it.  Explain to him that you really appreciate him wanting to be there to support you, but when you’re feeling ill and throwing up you just want to be in private.  I don’t like an audience when I’m vomiting either.  Little bits of communication can go a long way to let your partner know it’s just what you’re feeling, not how you feel toward them personally.❤️

Answer

He’s trying to support you but doesn’t know how. Tell him how you feel and brainstorm ways he can support you from afar. My husband realized after I puke all I want to do is sip a freezing cold flat gingerale with some cranberry juice so he goes and makes that for me and grabs me a few
crackers or makes me toast. No words, no touching; but he feels supportive and it helps me feel better. Maybe you’ll like a warm bath drawn, or a foot rub. Brainstorm together ways you can be close from a far.
