This 27-year-old woman has a seafood allergy. So, if she gets near anything from the sea, she will break out in hives, become nauseated, and have difficulty breathing.
Now, she claims that she has never suffered a reaction so severe that it was anaphylaxis.
"But I do not want to risk it," she said.
However, her husband- who is 27- happens to love seafood, especially lobster. So, whenever he goes to visit his parents, who live about four hours away, he will indulge in some lobster.
Still, he makes sure to never consume any seafood around her.
Her husband's parents will be visiting their home next week, though. And apparently, her in-laws planned to bring lobster.
According to her, her mother-in-law really does not understand her allergy and believes she just suffers from a small rash. But obviously, that is not the case- so after she found out, she was not okay with that plan at all.
"I told my husband absolutely not," she recalled. "He can go to our friend's house to eat it, but not here."
Still, her husband tried to reason that they would just eat the lobster in the living room while she stayed in the bedroom.

Then, he claimed he would clean up and be sure to scrub the surfaces so she doesn't have a reaction.
But she just really did not want to risk it- especially because the smell would likely linger, causing her to feel nauseous for hours.
So, her pushback over the lobster wound up sparking an argument between her and her husband. And she really just does not understand why he is acting this way all of a sudden.
"He is usually really good about my allergy and always checks on restaurants before going there [to see] if they sell seafood and will warn the waiters about my allergy," she vented.
"This is completely out of character for him."
That's why, ever since her husband's reaction, she's been left wondering whether not wanting her husband to eat lobster in their house makes her a jerk or not.
Should her husband's desire for lobster take priority over her health? Why do you think he is being lax about her allergy all of a sudden? Did she have a right to tell her husband to eat the seafood somewhere else? How would you have reacted in this situation?
