I mean, hey, breakfast sandwiches are quite tasty. Some of us find that dish that we obsessively eat as often as possible. Maybe more often than the rest of society would deem normal. To each their own though. It sounds like this guy's decision to take down a many few breakfast sandwiches didn't bode too well with his wife. The whole scene really reads like something out of a TV show. She definitely could've handled the whole situation with more care.

    Font - 1 AITA for asking my husband to stop eating breakfast sandwiches? My husband eats frozen breakfast sandwiches. Every day. Often as many as five or six a day, all day and all night. Our freezer is stuffed with breakfast sandwiches. His breath smells of rotten eggs because he's constantly eating egg patties. Half the time I cook, he'll skip whatever l've prepared to have one of these frozen sandwiches. It's embarrassing, especially when we have company. Historically, I haven't really cared.

    Font - I've been trying subtly to get him to stop (it's not healthy, your breath smells bad, etc) but he bought 24 more of them yesterday and today I finally snapped. I told him I find them repulsive, and that I wish he would eat like a grown man. He was upset. Then he microwaved yet another of these sandwiches, and walked off with it. AITA? I think I might be because my husband (although not formally diagnosed) might be neurodivergent. He is especially quirky about food. I could count the thing

    Font - EDIT: thank you all for your judgements and kind messages, especially you folks who are neurodivergent or who have neurodivergent loved ones. the perspective was sorely needed. I owe my husband an apology, I am the asshole. EDIT 2:I apologized to my husband. he says he wasn't upset, just annoyed because having something other than breakfast sandwiches is inconvenient. he also said that he doesn't care about the inconvenience, now that he knows how i feel, and he'll eat something else for

    Organism - Logical-Dimension-18 · 16h Partassipant [1] NAH? He can eat whatever he wants but truthfully, I would be just as mad if I were in your situation. G Reply 190 ... opheliasdinosaur · 12h Asshole Enthusiast [7] I agree. NAH the smell of egg every day would drive me mad. And if they need microwaving then it'll fill all the space. O partners, neurodivergent or not, need to make each other comfortable. While snapping may not have been the best reaction, we all do it occasionally. Just work

    Font - Prior_Lobster_5240 · 16h Certified Proctologist [22] YTA for the way you handled this. You went from zero to 60 with very little warning. Hinting at something and then snapping is never a good solution. And if he IS neurodivergent, he deserves a lot more grace. It is unfair to expect him to just quit all the sudden. It's actually pretty cruel. G Reply 1 553 3 ...

    Font - NTA Does the smell of it bother you? If so, explain that to him. That constantly smelling eggs is making you feel nauseous - if that's true. Like... there are some smells that I can't handle for too long. If he is microwaving then same thing 3+ times a day, then you are constantly be mind assaulted by a smell that bothers you and you can't clear your nose out before it getting assaulted again. And that's not fair. I see with your edits that he's compromising to just have them at breakfast

    Font - My bf has some foods be only eats if l'm not home. Cause the smell bothers me too much. There's some other foods he makes and the smell makes me feel like gagging because he always makes them at times I don't consider appropriate for those foods so if triggers feeling sick for me - but I don't tell him about those ones because it's not every day and if he wants to eat that for breakfast when it's a supper food then so be it that's his preference! I just don't go anywhere near him for a fe

    Font - Nyankh · 16h Colo-rectal Surgeon [39] Info: how long has he been eating this way? Cuz if you knew this going in or have been stewing on it a long time then I think you are an asshole for snapping at him rather than trying to understand him through adult conversation O 6 Reply 仓99 ... throwaway49761943 OP · 16h He's always been picky but the excessive consumption of the breakfast sandwiches only started during the pandemic. He used to eat a more varied diet. + ...

    Font - Zealous_Zebras · 16h Partassipant [2] YTA. From what you wrote, it seems like you just "snapped" at your husband (twice) without any previous attempt to discuss your concern. If you "haven't really cared" to this point, how was he supposed to know how repulsed you were? Have you tried discussing this issue? Has he told you why he's so averse to everything else? It just sounds like you let this bubble up inside you until you exploded, which is neither productive nor fair for him. Maybe he'

    Font - maccrogenoff • 11h NTA. You now know that you shouldn't have bottled up your increasing revulsion for the breakfast sandwiches, but you're human. Your disgust for the odor and concern for your husband's health are rational. His wanting every meal to take less than a minute to prepare is irrational. I don't understand why so many people here think that they know your husband better than he knows himself. He believes himself to be neurotypical; why do they disagree? G Reply + ...
