[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why have several posters made the exception for pregnancy? Others deserve the right to avoid wrenching and vomiting too.
Like other posters have mentioned, I too wasn't smell sensitive until pregnancy. I was looking forward to the symptom disappearing but it only got more sensitive. It was also much worse after giving birth because vomiting often means involuntary peeing (something else that didnt happen before being pregnant). [/quote]

Pregnancy is a temporary condition that imposes a disproportionate burden on women, so most people think that inconveniencing a man for a few months is fair enough.

If you’re not pregnant, it’s just a thing about your body that you have to learn to live with, and it’s worth learning how to live with it so that you don’t impose a burden on your husband, as you are doing right now. I’d hate it if I were “not allowed” to cook eggs in my own house! He’s making an effort to accommodate you by having them less often, you need to make an effort to accommodate him by either working in a different space or improving your ventilation. That’s how marriage works. You both make an effort to accommodate each other. [/quote]
