To be annoyed with DH over some onion?

Back story: I HATE raw onion. It actually makes me irrationably angry when people eat it! The smell lingers in the house for days, and I can smell it on people for ages after they eat it and it really makes me feel physically sick. I know this is weird, but I can't change it, raw onion is just bleugh!

Anyway, DH has just come in from work with a kebab (YUCK!), which is COVERED in raw white onion (the worst kind IMO). I have been suffering from a horrible cold and cough all week, and feel horrid, I have been looking after our 5mo all day who I think is a bit under the weather himself as he didn't go to sleep until gone 11:30pm and has been really difficult today- so I politely asked DH if he could PLEASE not eat the onion...but he ate the whole lot. Now he is going to sleep next to me, snoring all night, and I will be engulfed by a disgusting onion smell each time I get up for night feeds, while at the same time feeling like rubbish :-(

Am I being unreasonable to have expected him not to eat it...or is he being unreasonable for not just eating around the manky onion?

I fear it is probably me who is the unreasonable one- in my defence I am really tired and feel poorly. In any case, I should still probably ltb.

Haha, good idea with the raw garlic amazingmum! Unfortunately my relationship with garlic is the same as my relationship with onion, so it's a no go!

I would never usually ask him not to eat something he likes, but it was just the combination of feeling ill and having a tough day with our baby that made me think that maybe it wasn't too unreasonable to request that he just refrain from eating it last night!

DH and Dbaby are now also ill...what a great atart to the weekend!!

doodle poor you! I tell you what. I'll PM you shortly to invite you to a nice little thread for more chatting.

forget about your onion-related misery, it seems not many people get why your DH could have been a bit more understanding.

I suggest you call the kebab house and grease them a bit not to sell him onions anymore!Grin Grin Grin

see you on the bright side!Wink
