He Couldn't Stand the Smell of Peppers—But He Cooked Spicy for Another Woman

Summary

"I'm the kind of person who puts hot sauce on everything.

In three years of marriage, my husband Ronald Hernandez never ate spicy food. He said even the smell of chili peppers triggered his migraines.

So for three years, I changed my entire diet for him. You couldn't find a single bottle of Tabasco in our kitchen.

My coworkers loved to bust my chops about it.

""Your husband can't even handle peppers? Seriously? Don't tell me he can't do wasabi either.""

I'd laugh it off and make excuses for him. Bad stomach, I'd say.
