Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Had fight w BF about my diet...Need hugs

Before you say it he was right, but here's the story.

After my fries and MSG debacle on Tuesday I had to leave work with cramps yesterday and didn't go in til 2pm today. Ate bread rolls with applesauce for brekkie (at 12.30) and rice with veggie casserole for dinner, had bananas and pretzels during the day. So I am feeling better and foolishly in front of him reach for my Halloween ginger cookie. He loses it

BF: I hope you are not going to eat that
ME: hmmm I know it won't hurt my tummy, I feel fine now
BF: Sinead, you have been clinging to your tummy for 2 days, aren't you supposed to take it easy now?
ME: its my diet, I know these don't hurt my tummy
BF: Fine, eat it but if you have a sore tummy tomorrow I am not going to talk to you
ME: that's not fair
BF: what's not fair is you making yourself sick and then going on about it
ME: I don't WANT to be sick
BF: well why can't you be sensible and look after yourself
ME: Everyone falls off the wagon, I'm not perfect and I Can't control my sugar cravings
BF: Fine, eat it then, but don't complain to me when your tummy hurts
ME: I don't want it now
BF: Eat it, I don't want you not to eat it because I got cross with you.
ME: (teary) No you are probably right
BF: Oh great, now you are going to cry, you are acting like a 7 yr old, that's why I am treating you like a 7 year old
ME: But I am not a 7yr old#
BF: Well you are acting like one. Eat it, you'll only eat worse on your holidays next week and I don't want you to be phoning me from there complaining about your tummy...
BOTH: Heatedness subsumes, BF leaves to go for a walk, Sinead sits at computer and feels crappy, drinks fennel tes with honey...needs hugs and advice

We'll be civil to one another, but we both have a point.
And because of the fight my tummy hurts even though I didn't eat the damn cookie!
