SOOO We are going to a rehearsal dinner tonight for a very close family member. FH texts me a bit ago that for dinner they will be doing a full on fish fondue - Crab, Shrimp, Shellfish, Fresh Fish - you name it they're having it. Okay cool, good for them. Except I am HIGHLY allergic to any type of fish.. His whole family knows this but every time im around they for some reason always want to go to sea food restaurants, like ok I get it and i understand people love fish and that's great, I never mind I'm just always very cautious when I go and usually am able to find something that works for me. I asked FH if they were having any other options and he replied with no, only fish and shell fish.. He told me just to grab something before I go or bring something with and eat with everyone else. IDK this just kind of ticks me off.. I'm not trying to sound like a princes but really.. this couple knows how allergic I am to fish and even just being around it gives me hives. Im not saying not to have it all together because thats what they love so I totally get that, but another option would have been nice. I told FH that I just don't feel comfortable going while the food is out and ill come after ( My EpiPen is expired and I just haven't had a chance to go get a new one and the nearest hospital is 25 mins away). He was almost offended I'd even suggest it and told me to take some benadryl before i come and ill be fine.. (eye roll)..

I'm honestly so upset with him I don't even want to go.. He is usually so concerned about me whenever I'm around fish and always has my back but this time I don't feel like he does. And I get this is a very close family wedding and that's why hes so insistent I be there and I want to be there too but this my health were talking about here..

Am I being a brat in this situation?? Should I just suck it up and go anyway?? Would you as a bride/groom be offended if I didnt show up till after dinner??


EDIT*** Just want to mention that FH is in no way "making" me go or making me feel bad for not going, hes just bummed that I don't want to until after dinner. He would never put me in a situation that could effect my health. His mentality is that We've gone to seafood restaurants before and I've been fine, but circumstances were different in those instances

    You are not a brat. One of my relatives has deadly allergies. We make it a point of going out of our way to keep her safe because we love her and never want to put her at risk. I am sorry that your FH's family doesn't understand. No one should have to feel guilty for not going somewhere with food that can make them very ill or die. People who have never had allergies themselves or been close to someone with severe food allergies don't seem to care enough to listen. I hope someday people will care enough to listen when people have a food allergy. Stay safe.
