Yes, sort of, if they are carrying bacteria it is possible to get it as well. Make sure you do not share cups, forcks, and any other untensil. Don't use anything after them, such as a cell phone or remote (yes, really people clean these last two items the least, so they carry the most bacteria).
If you are sitting hands in your pocket and they are sitting hands in their pocket and are a foot away, it is unlikely that the bacteria will be transfered.

Will you get the stomach flu if your spouse has it?
Yes and no. If you already got a flu shot before someone in your household got the stomach flu then you have a VERY low, to no chance at all to getting a stomach flu. If you did not get a flu shot yet or are against flu shots or other medical treatments then to reduce this risk, I would recommend washing your hands after you get home from work or school, before and after you eat, and during any free time that you may have. Also try to stay away from the person with the illness, until it is completely gone.(you can be around them to help them if they need help, but make sure you don't touch your face e.i. face, mouth, eyes, etc. and wash your hands afterwards)
Causes of throw up and diarrhea?
The stomach flu will cause people to vomit and have diarrhea at the same time. I had the poopy fluid coming out of my butt and the mushed up food coming out of my mouth at the same time when I had the stomach flu.
