My boss told us the other day he can’t smell much from years and years of playing a sport. We were all in the breakroom the other day and he said I smell grilled cheese. Nobody really said anything. I went out for a phone call. When I came in again he mentioned the smell of grilled cheese again. Then asked how the heck someone was making a grilled cheese since no stove.

I said yanno, I’m sorry but my boyfriend won’t stop making these gd grilled cheese with chicken on them. It’s been over a week. He eats 4 a day every day. Coworker laughed and asked if bf can even have a bm. My boss said do you have grilled cheese here? I said no I don’t. It’s a permanent smell in our home and we all smell like it. I don’t know how to get him to stop!

I was a bit upset that people can smell grilled cheese on me when I won’t even eat them anymore. I called my bf almost in tears and telling him I can’t handle all these grilled cheese sandwiches. He said ok I won’t make anymore. I said thanks that means a lot.

He said to make up for my distress he’d make dinner. I said what will you make? He said not grilled cheese babe, I promise!

I was happy. Was planning on airing out the house and getting the grilled cheese smell out of clothes.

I get home. I walked in. Took a shower. Started opening windows and refreshing the furniture and getting laundry started. I started to get hungry and asked if he was gonna do dinner soon! He said sure!

I was in our bedroom and I smelled something familiar but couldn’t place it. He calls out dinner is ready! I’m so dang excited for whatever he made! I sit down and he brings me a plate.

I see bread. I start to realize the smell was grilled cheese. I said Oh. My. God! Is this a freaking grilled cheese? I was ready to throw hands. Full on rumble mode. Ready to take him and my effing sandwich to the ground.

Relax babe he said. I barely heard him. He said look I promise it’s not a grilled cheese!! I cut the sandwich open, and see stuff ooze out. I’m so confused. There isn’t any cheese at all.

He said SURPRISE WE RAN OUT OF CHEESE LAST NIGHT! I DISCOVERED GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES!!! Then told me just try it! It’s so amazing!

I silently got up and laid in bed trying to process my emotions and thoughts. He came in and asked if I’d rather have a grilled Nutella and banana sandwich instead. I said no please leave me alone. This is just as bad. I fell asleep.

My middle son woke me up and said do you want to eat? I said yes but not a grilled pb&j. He said they are really good mom! I helped dad make some. Will you please try it? So I did. I hated it.

I said I was gonna run to get yogurt and a couple other items. When I come back I’ll cut up the fruit we have and we can make a fruit salad.

I got back. I could smell something. It was sweet and my mouth wanted to eat! My bf pulled something out of the oven. It was yellow and white. I asked what he made.

He took my pineapple and cut it into bread looking slices. Put cheddar cheese in between and baked them. He basically made a freaking grilled cheese with pineapple for the bread.

My middle son was as excited as my bf was! I could not share that excitement but I tried some since my son was so excited. I didn’t like it and I was pissed my bf made grilled fing cheese after saying he’d stop.

They spent the weekend eating grilled pb and jelly sandwiches. They premade lunches of these sandwiches for me.

We had to run to the store. Bf got more bread and a giant thing of peanut butter. I refused to pay for half since we split the food costs in half.

And now here we are. I’m debating staying at my moms until my bf actually stops making these grilled sandwiches. How am I going to explain to my boss and coworkers that I’m about to be smelling like grilled pb&j and I’m sorry? How do I get out of this nightmare???

Please don’t try to dx my bf. He is ND but has never behaved this way before.

Eta: I do cook other foods for us and offer him the meals the kids and I are eating. I don’t want to be mean to my bf and idk how to get him to stop. I can’t handle strong smells and making these grilled sandwiches 2 or 3 times a day the smell just invades everything. I’m also upset bc he said he’d stop making them but continues to. I feel like he lied to me and I don’t want to be lied to.

I’m sorry for posting here. I’m just trying to find ways to help me to get him to stop or understand I’m having a difficult time with smelling like grilled cheese. I told him I’d stay at my moms until he’s done with these but he doesn’t want that. So now it’s me or grilled cheese. I hope he picks me.
