Its weird I cant eat at peoples houses. As a kid couldnt even eat at restaurant or school, I felt disgusted and lost my appetite but I ate very much at home.
I feel rude to my new boyfriend. I always deny eating at restaurants. We both have social phobia but he seems to have no problem eating in restaurants. I can too but its uncomfortable and it has to be a restaurant im very familiar with.
I never eat at his house. He offers stuff to me and I say no thanks even if its delicious. I just cant. My throat tighten up. I cant eat at peoples places.
I am skinny so I worry he thinks im crazy girl with eating disorder.
I tried to explain to him once I cant eat anything people offer me. I dont want to remind him because I seem so weird and fussy.
I cant bring my own food to his place which I would want because he would think I believe he is dirty and that I dont trust anything he has in his fridge or pantry to be sanitary. Its a big worry of mine. I have dealt with this all my life as long as I can remember. Eventually I learned to cope with eating at restaurants but I still cant eat at peoples houses.

    I would agree with your boyfriend that you have an eating disorder. It's not one of the common ones, but it is a disorder.

    I suggest that you seek counseling for it... Life can become a lot better if you mentally work through the background for it and can change to more normal behavior.

    You will also feel better about yourself.

    I agree you may have an obscure type of eating disorder and should get help for it if you can. But in the meantime, I would suggest having a serious talk with your bf about the issue and what he can do or not do to help you and make you feel safe and comfortable. And if he isn't willing to listen and try to be helpful, he's probably not the one for you. Good luck! :)
