    You mean my first girlfriend? She didn’t have shellfish allergy but somehow she was allergic to shrimp specifically. Believe or not it didn’t cause much issue but I nvr lived with her so who knows how it could’ve been

      Glad to hear it didn’t cause issues! May it never do so in your future. I knew a girl who loved cats and had to get rid of her cat(s) that she had from late childhood/early teens because her boyfriend was severely allergic to cats and there was no other way if they were to live together. Everyone who knew her thought she’d rather give up a guy than the idea of ever having a cat again but well there they go, I think they married two years ago (after dating for like 12 years). But the choice to never live the cats infused life she wanted was hard. Apparently she would have been more willing to compromise on having kids (despite really wanting a family) than on giving up cats.

        Oof that’s rough, at least with food you don’t have to completely give up on it with good practices and being careful. Anyway, allergies fucking suck
