my boyfriend CNA/my issues with him dealing with human bodies

[lena11]

Dear Friends

I am not a nurse, but I worked in a Nursing Home as a therapist, where I met my boyfriend. At that point he worked as PT assistant for 8 years, in Union, 2.

He got transwered twice in last 5 months, without his consent, and without any transitional paperwork. The last possition he accepted out of fear for being jobless is a position of male CNA.

I do not want to offend any of the present CNA's over here, but that transition is really getting me now, and interfering our relationship. His job is mostly personal care of the patients, as well as feeding. I still feel ofended that he is seeing all days long naked human bodies, touching them, and as I said It influence our intimate relationship.

I feel as being cheated on in some way.

How do you menage your relationships, does your friends bring that issue ever as obstacle?

Maybe I am a bit traditional, but It is very hard to adjust to his new position in relation with human bodies.

Please, help...I feel it is deeply affecting our relationship.

Thank You

Folks, I ask that everyone be respectful and mindful of people's different life experiences. While I began working as an aide at 16-17, and body stuff was old hat before I was out of high school, I recognize that is not the norm. As a society, we are still VERY touchy about these issues. The nursing perspective is not the common view among normal human beings lol.

I would respectfully ask everyone to avoid accusations of trolling. Report posts that violate the terms of service, and ignore those you don't have a constructive response for. If someone is trolling, responding similarly is just chumming the waters.

A litle of the green eye is a good thing. It piques our interest to each other and our value to each other.

But irrational jealousy will destroy any relationship. To both the OP and the poster with pedicure GF - it's not their jobs that will destroy your relationships: it's your irrational jealousy. If not over this issue, then the next issue you become irrationally jealous over. Or the next. Or the next.

Trust is not just being faithful: it's also extending that belief to your mate. It's the act of being faithful AND the act of believing the same in your spouse. Irrational jealous is as equal a crime as being unfaithful.
