Is not allowing my husband to cook scrambled eggs in the morning an unreasonable request?

scrambled eggs have such a mild smell, it feels like there is a solution to this. Better hood ventilation plus some sort of other competing aroma - like brew strong coffee at the same time so you smell the coffee instead. Or Bacon.

You think cereal is only for toddlers?

NP but I mean it kinda is. Most American cereals are one step up from taking some mashed up cookies and pouring milk over them, lets be real. Perfect for a little kid's palate

How is his cholesterol? Eggs every morning is a lot of eggs.

+1 to all of this, op is unreasonable to me because I love eggs but also, I have high cholesterol. If you have to work there, it's OK to be strict with requests about smell. Egg smell lingers for a long time.

You realize the whole eggs causes high cholesterol myth got debunked ages ago, right?

NP. stop being obtuse and read the labels. Cereal is su[er processed and loaded with sugar. Nothing nutritional about it.

You are unreasonable. My 3 kids love scrambled eggs while I don’t. Most people eat eggs. You should get over this. Once a week? Come on. Let the poor man eat eggs for breakfast.

This. WTH is the man doing to the eggs to make them so offensive?

Easy solution. If he wants eggs, he can go out on the porch and scramble them up on a portable stove. You can get one very cheaply. At least when the weather is tolerable he can do that.

That’s unreasonable as well. Really? Pop-out the Coleman stove, I’m making an egg!

What about an air fryer? It actually works pretty well and not as smelly.

Is there anything you can do about this smell aversion you have? I have a very sensitive sense of smell but no aversions. It’s really handicapping your relationship.

Eggs and fish are the only cooking smells I really can't stand. I don't drink coffee but I enjoy the smell of it. I promise this isn't some broad theme. Just eggs and fish. Two things.

Although I cook eggs and/or fish almost every day, I don't think you're being as unreasonable as most people do. Some food aromas make me a little sick. I think some of the hostility your getting is due to the fact that most people don't notice the smell of eggs or like it. If you were talking about bacon or garlic or curry, more people would be on your side. Hopefully you can work out a compromise.

How is that the easier solution? The easiest solution is OP goes somewhere else in their home for a few hours, 1 day a week. Instead of banning someone COOKING from not using the KITCHEN.
