Donate today, and you can say "I made Stephanie sick!"

Well, not my wife, because I don’t have one. Jon’s wife.

[Make My Wife Throw Up dot Com] [on Facebook]

Stephanie (Jon’s wife) is an emetophobe, which means she has a fear of vomiting. Jon wants Stephanie to confront her fear and actually throw up.

Well, kinda.

It’s not as if he pesters her to throw up all the time. It’s not a big issue in their relationship, nor has it ever been. But one day, while discussing it with a friend of theirs, they came up with a brilliant idea: in order to entice Stephanie to face her fear of throwing up, they’re willing to raise the stakes.

By going to MakeMyWifeThrowUp.com, you can donate money (as little or as much as you want) to go towards the purchase of a Canon 5D Mark II, which will also help Stephanie pursue her dream of making it as a photographer.

If not enough funds are raised by October 6th, your money will be returned to you.

And if Stephanie doesn’t throw up before October 6th, your money will be returned to you.

Which is what makes this project so fascinating: see, there’s no guarantee Stephanie will actually throw up. It’s no joke: Stephanie is legitimately terrified and is absolutely not having any of this whole throwing up thing. Maybe, though, seeing all these people “supporting” her will make her change her mind.

    I have to give them credit. It’s a creative way of getting the camera. I wonder what is so special about October 6th. Was that a random end date to the contest or did they want to keep things legit and avoid flu season when vomiting is more common?

  2. Lola says:

    This is simple. Just put her in front of an episode of the Jersey Shore.

  3. As a side note (since I had someone ask) – I can personally vouch that this is for real.

    I’m confused…why does she need to throw up? I have a fear of heights but I don’t need to stand at the edge of Grand Canyon to overcome a fear that does me no real harm. Of course if someone wants to toss me a $3000 camera, I’ll gladly step up to the edge!

    Good luck with that!

  5. Peterb — what if your fear was so great that you couldn’t climb ladders, or stand on a chair to change a lightbulb? Or, worse yet, you were afraid of driving anywhere, because if you got lost, you might find yourself driving over a bridge, which you’d find terrifying?

  6. Ellen says:

    Wow, can I ever relate to Stephanie… I would rather die than throw up. Of course I have thrown up, many times, in the past. Usually related to to much celebrating.
    But… I would still rather die than do it again. The thought of getting a 24 hr GI bug and facing vomiting is over whelming!
    Crazy I know but thats me!

    Time for 2girls1cup. On loop, volume maximized.

  8. StephanieZ says:

    I am the Wife. And I have some disclaimers.

    1. I had no idea this “project” was in effect until it was live and online.

    2. I look hideous in the video. Had I known it was going to be posted for all to see I would have at least put on make-up.

    3. As far as October 6th, no idea why this date was chosen, other than getting it over with sooner than later…

    4. I am no longer eating anything my husband cooks.

  9. StephanieZ says:

    And P.S.

    Kevin – best caption ever.

  10. StephanieZ says:

    P.P.S.

    I have thrown up once in the last 14 years.

  11. Thanks for commenting, Stephanie!

    P.S. Why thank you.
    P.P.S. YOU WILL THROW UP

  12. Adrienne says:

    just knock her up and then she will have no choice but to boot… well maybe. I don’t see how this helps her throw up at all, last time I checked most people can’t voluntarily throw up without a fist of fingers down their throat and that is just stupid. Good for Stephanie for having no interest in this.

  13. Donna H says:

    Stephanie, hon, please consult a divorce attorney (preferrably without getting knocked up) and run far, run fast. This is taking spousal abuse to new heights. I was cringing at it before knowing you weren’t a part of it. That your husband did this to you publicly without your knowledge multiplies the abuse. Take all this on-line stuff to a divorce attorney and get the hell out of this abusive relationship.

    Now that I got that off my chest, so what she’s afraid to throw up? Me too. I fight it. But, man, it hardly matters. If things are bad enough that the need to do so for your physical well-being is overwhelming, it’s going to happen anyway. I’m trying to think of times I’ve thrown up since my pregnancy 27 years ago (which probably caused this because I had god-awful morning sickness halfway through) and honestly can’t think of any times I have though I’m sure I must have once or twice when sick. If I can help it, I’m not going to.

    Why would this need to be fixed, however? It’s not like it can be prevented if the body really needs to do it.

  14. Janet says:

    Donna, I hope your comment was meant as a joke. I know Jon and Stephanie and I can assure you that they adore each other. “Spousal abuse” doesn’t enter into it–Jon just has a crazy sense of humor. All her friends want her to get rid of this phobia.

  15. Teri Conroy says:

    Throwing up is not going to get rid of the phobia. I adore Kevin and you seem like nice people, but this makes absolutely no sense to me. I have a bridge phobia and I still have to drive over bridges (medicated, mind you)….the phobia does not go away.

  16. Donna H says:

    No, I was being perfectly serious. For a husband to take his wife’s phobia and put it on public display without her knowledge is effed up and yes, abusive. Would it also be a laugh a minute if he put a spider down her shirt if she were scared of them? He’s making sport of her, not trying to help her with her problem. Messed up.

    Got to say, I really don’t get why her friends would obsess over whether or not she pukes. Unless of course, someone “jokes” about it all the time. I mean who thinks about how much their friends puke?

    • Donna, don’t you think if she had a huge problem with this being online she would have said something by now? Especially in the parts where she commented on this post?

      Also, that analogy doesn’t work. If he stick his fingers down her throat and made her throw up, then yes.
