My Wife Refuses to Take Her Allergies Seriously, so I Kicked Her Out... | Reddit Updates

[@HylianWolfMage55]

I am 100% on OP's side in the situation. Imagine how traumatized their hypothetical children would've been if they witnessed their mother die from an allergic reaction. I am glad OP's wife is starting to take her allergies more seriously and her mental and physical health is improving.

[@piequals314]

not to mention how expensive epipen and medical treatment is- that's money that should be going into the couple/family finances, not wasted on preventable allergy attacks

[@alexnev8535]

I’m glad they were able to patch things up but I hope she doesn’t make self destruction a reoccurring issue when times get tough, props to OP for sticking around

[@Sacratachi]

I could not imagine being super allergic to something and STILL eat it 😭 I can’t eat tree fruits but all it does is make my mouth and lips super itchy. But if it caused anaphylaxis? I’d never touch them again, even cooked.

[@destineeadams2720]

I’m someone who has anaphylactic shock and still every now and then will eat something I shouldn’t

[@Sacratachi]

@ you are playing a dangerous game, I give you props

[@destineeadams2720]

@ sometimes I just miss eating food that I was once able to have. then I just stab myself with my epi pen and go about my business 😂😭

[@JaimyHulters]

these people live in America! can you imagine the medical dept... I fully understand why OP was very angry.

[@mery5989]

What she described isn't actually "rebellion", it's self harm. Harming yourself isn't rebellious or enjoyable. Being rebellious could be blowing a bunch of money on a fun trip or on buying something you want, or screaming at her boss or something rebellious. Self harm is just self harm and she's just making up a complicated story to explain it

When I have confirmed allergies, I STFA from that item. Being miserable and itchy sucks. But the biggest thing I take ftom this story is that hospital visits are expensive

[@milicalabovic2787]

Allergies are serious thing they can kill

[@deusex4905]

I hope op's wife will continue to do and get better. Maybe she could benefit from therapy or something like that to make her feel more in control of her life.

[@juliacovfefe]

She treats her severe allergies like it was the same thing as being lactose intolerant OP did the right thing.

[@RedPanda74]

I find this story extremely difficult to believe. How could anyone take such a casual outlook on their life?

[@thewriterhorse32]

My dad is extremely allergic to squid and octopus and he would order calamari a lot when I was a kid until I was 16. I've never been a good sleeper so I would wake up when the ambulance would come. I saw my dad get wheeled away multiple times and when I was 16 and had to call the ambulance myself, I think that was his wake up call. He doesn't eat that stuff anymore and hasn't had an allergic reaction since.

[@maka5065]

Whomst has the money and time to just be fast and loose with their food allergy?? Epipens and the ER are so expensive!

[@destineeadams2720]

Honestly mixed feelings. I have severe allergies. I wasn’t born with them so my favorite foods were taken away from me. So sometimes I eat food that I’m not supposed to. But I always take my Benadryl, hydroxyzine, and epi.

[@TheOldBailey4135]

Seeking attention maybe???

[@QueenMizu]

I'm not saying OP is wrong but ain't no way someone is telling me I can't go back to MY home because THEY are upset with me. I have always been the one to leave the situation as I'm the one with the issue. If I was op's wife I would've just gone home I don't need permission to go home

[@FARBerserker]

Yes let the moron go home, have the husband leave. See if she survives her allergies alone for a few days...
