If she hadn't been harassed about not liking a food she wouldn't have told her fabrication to begin with. I feel for her. I am not allergic, but do have an inability to digest shellfish. Do I go into a big story about how IF I eat it I develop calcium deposits in my intestines and my digestive system shuts down? No, I say I'm allergic. The world is full of jerks and sometimes you just want it to be simple.

This is so dumb. All of it.

I have thought about doing this myself. I detest onions, I almost never use them in any way shape or form when I cook. I have had restaurants lie to me when I ask them if a dish has onions in it and had friends lie to me when they make something and when I eat it and it has onions in it the response is always the same, I didn't think you could taste them in it. So yeah I have thought about just telling people I am allergic to onions, because people don't give a s**t about serving you something you don't like if they think it is silly for you not to like it, but maybe they wouldn't sneak those disgusting things into my food if they thought it may kill me. For the record I have never told anyone I am allergic to onions, but I have contemplated it.

Made it a full paragraph till I realized I was ready the equivalent of paint drying, must remember to read comments first next time

It is possible, however, that she has an allergy to an ingredient in peanutbutter that is not present in peanuts. On the other hand, it is amazing how people judge you if you don't like something. I am allergic to too many things, including fish. So people tell me the same s**t: "how can you not like fish!". Sorry, I get really sick from the even the smell of fish, because I am allergic to fish. My advice to this lady is to find out if their is an ingredient in peanutbutter (apart from the peanuts) she could be allergic to. Nowadays, so many ingredients are (unnecessarily) added to food which we don't want or need, but they are there anyway. Check it out.

The internet can't stop laughing at this one...

Wouldn't it be better to change the kind of people you meet? My friends don't try to change me or judge me....if I don't like Coca Cola (for example) they don't tell me :"Oh my God....you are not like almost everyone!" They will tell me:" So what do you like?" In my opinion one real friend is better than 200 "empty bottles"... life is too short....

Honestly I resent people who lie about allergies. I have some legitimately weird ones and have had close calls due to people thinking I was lying about things I just don't like.

People get outraged over such stupid stuff. I do know how she feels though. I don't care for pizza. I get "how can you not like pizza?" "What's wrong with you that you don't like pizza?" I don't want freakin' pizza. I guess I can't really say I am allergic.

How does it hurt anyone else if she lies about a peanut allergy?

Cute story - good husband. Keep lying.

Just come to germany. Nobody ever eats peanut butter here (except my mom).

Sounds like a child, all this drama over peanuts. Grow up.

Why is her taste preferences anyone else's business? Just say "I just don't like peanut butter" and let those words stand. We are not required to defend our every choice, our ever preference! Besides her original post was about love, not the world's opinion of it. Just say "None of your business peanut police" and slam the damn door. I have several food allergies and many more food dislikes. Not one of them are up for group discussion. These people need to get a damn job.

ive encountered this problem with wheat. I'm not a celiac sufferer & yet if I'm out, the easiest & only real way to make sure there's no wheat AT ALL in anything I order to eat, is to say I'm celiac. Otherwise it's treated like a joke I've seen some amazing, remarkable health improvements since I cut wheat from my life. To the point that when i tested it w/ a weekend of wheat infected foods, (it really is an insidious ingredient that's made its way into WAY more foods than you might think possible), it took approx 10 days to get back to my normal levels of "new" health. Monday/Tuesday was like a bloated hangover sans the pain & I was cloudy/foggy & lethargic for the next week. Strangely enough I recognised these symptoms as how I'd always lived previously, but as I'd no wheat free benchmark to measure against I thought this was normal (like so many others in the world). I know differently now (especially after having added Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis to my nutritional arsenal).

She hurt no one. She took nothing away from anyone. When she tried to deal with the issue directly, people were jerks and wouldn't listen. So she simplified her life and paid a small consequence. The bigger problem is the jerks who wouldn't accept her taste preferences. It's similar to, but on a much smaller scale to men who won't take a woman's no for an answer until she says she has a boyfriend or husband. Many women have to use this lie just to get men to leave them alone. That in no way diminishes anyone's marriage or relationship. People have to do this all the time when confronted with entitled jerks who think their view of the world is the only correct one.

I dont think she should have had to apologise.

I love peanut butter, & love peanut butter cookies. I do NOT like peanuts, or Reese's peanut butter cups, Reese's pieces, peanut m&m's, and most other items made with peanuts. So sue me. If it's not infringing on anyone's life in a harmful way, let it go. Oh, and just to get it going, I also like pineapple on pizza, so there!

That was stupid, who lies about an Allergy. Seriously. I get picked on cause I don't like peanuts or peanut butter or hotdogs. They pick in me for about 10 seconds then it's old news get over it. It was stupid

How is this even a post? Bored Panda? Hello? Also people are freaking lazy. Defend your taste buds? Oh my gosh that must be exhausting, you better start lying so you do not have to defend yourself anymore. Oh the HORROR!!!

Lying is wrong, but your husband is so sweet ;3 *Throws peanut m&ms everywhere

"Faking alergies isn't cute". Well, beeing blamed because you don't like something isn't cute either ! I don't like spicy food. But could handle it till my late 20s and have sometimes something not too spicy. Than one of a sudden I started to feel very very bad everytime I ate something that was even a little bit spicy. So, if I say "I don't eat spicy food", most people would tell me "this is not spicy", but in fact IT IS ! But my detector for spicy is just higher than the one of my friends. So I had to start "lying" and say I am alergic, cause otherwise people would keep saying "its not spicy", and I end up feeling sick the whole night !! She was not making fun or pretend to ofend any person with real alergies, but if people do not respect you diferent tastes or illnes it will cause, what else shall we do??? I'm totally with her <3

I don't think she is the problem. Those who don't believe if you have an alergy or not are the ones we need to be concerded about. How can you not respect someone when they say they are alergic to something? That's what I don't get.

What cute story. Let the haters hate. This hurts no one. The same people hating on her are probably the type of person to disrespect someone's boundaries when they say they don't like a certain food. That's some real love and dedication from her husband. People are stupid complaint about her. There are people in this world who just don't know boundaries and will literally harass you about why who what and where if you tell them something like "I don't like peanut butter" but if you tell the same person "I'm allergic " they'll back up. I totally understand why she did this. I am a highly sensitive person to things like plants and plant based lotions and herbal supplements etc. It gets annoying and frustrating. As a society we need to acknowledge people with sensitivity's or allergies. I can't use acne cream, or most lotions or any skin care products. I have to read every ingredient. It'd be nice if people had more awareness about things like allergies because I feel left out.

Wow, I've lost 1 minute of my life reading that unimportant s**t nobody cares about, so sad

Never explain yourself. The place in your brain that secretes that response is dangerously close to the place of unbridled sarcasm, which is far more cleansing than explaining yourself. If you feel you must, ask them why they need to know? Or say its related to sex then just smile and turn away.
