Hello from England

[Guest guest]

Hi

I havent said anything on here before - just taking solace in listening

to how others problems are so similar to mine i.e. get immediately

angry when someone east near me or breathes audibly. Crisp packets and

chewing gum are indeed of the devils making!!! Anyone else have

difficulties travelling on public transport?? (everyone eats the

WHHHOLOLLLLE bloody time - i was on a train last week when I woman

actually ate 5 apples in a row!!! now thats gotta be simply to taunt me

right?) But my main problem is sleeping in the same bed / room as my

partner as I cant bear to hear him breathe. I ahve always suffered from

this (since early teens) but the breathing thing occurs after about 5

months into a relationship but not before....anyone know why??? Anyway,

this drove a huge wedge between myself and my ex partner and I am

terrified to death that I will lose this one through the same.

Anyway, the good news is, that I have spoken to my partner and

despite having to put up with me sleeping on the sofa, plugging my ears

with all kinds of paraphernalia and leaving the room in tantrums - he

says he understands!!! Personally, if I didnt suffer with this horrible

condition I dont think i would. He says he sees it as a 'situation' and

not a problem. He told me 'as long as a relationship has a solid core -

and you have the trust and love of each other - then issues like this

are of no significance'. Yes I know, its significant to you and I - but

if you are like me and worried about the impact this has on your

partner / relationships then this is wonderful to hear!! Anyway - just

wanted to share my happy feeling. I'm not saying I am happy with being

like this though - I am happy with my understanding partner -But dont

get my wrong - someone asked if I would give a little pinky toe for a

cure ?.... persoanlly, I would give my entire right foot! (and my DVD

collection).

I actually had a little cry when I found this site and realised I

wasn't just a horrid intolerant woman! Its good to know you're not

alone.

Take care all
