Breaking it Off with Those You Love

[Shlup]

I had to end a relationship lately, even though my feelings of love and admiration are still as strong as ever. The physical abuse started mild, but recently became a problem for me.

You see, I am allergic to pineapple. Usually I just get a little itchy and a smidge swollen for an hour or so. Last week I decided to eat half of a pineapple anyway, and now my mouth is covered in hives. I look like one of those photos they show in sex ed class to scare kids away from oral sex, and I have to keep a bottle of lotion next to me to constantly rub on my lips.

So no more pineapple for me.

Have you ever had to break it off with one of your loves?

Pineapples eh? Is it due to OAS because I have that! For:

- apples
- pears
- plums
- peaches
- apricots
- certain nuts

.....there's a lot. sec.

Actually pretty much everything in the Prunus family!

Prunus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was never the case btw - I was perfectly fine as a child eating all of these and then suddenly all three of us (pg + siblings) got allergic reactions. Basically our throats closed up (hurrr) and it was discomforting. Water did not help. It only happened when eating the foods raw - when I cooked these foods it was not a problem.

I miss apples

Does this mean you're completely cutting yourself from pineapples? Or are you still going to eat pineapples, just not in large quantities like this last time? You know, like little bites you would find in fruit salads.

Though, for me, I had to break it off with the salty foods, like completely because it was part of my diet to avoid salt altogether. You would think it would be hard to do, but I got used to it rather quickly. I used to love salty food before, but it was one of the major causes of my kidney failure.

All I know is that pineapples started making me itch and swell, though not a concerning amount, about seven years ago. Fresh pineapple is the worst, cooked seems to be fine. I still have a whole pineapple left and I'll probably eat a little at a time. I hope it doesn't get worse; PG just listed some of my favorite foods. D:

can you have any of those though [or did you mean you don't know yet]? because I can't and I'm a sad panda :sadpanda:

This thread sounds pretty serious.

[Peegee]

You should embed a video of you eating delicious pineapples and apples and see how long you spend not being banned >: [

Why would I do that to you? I'm not an asshat.

I've never really admitted this to anyone before. I don't know why I'm doing it here, but here goes. I had an affair several years ago. I didn't fall out of love and have an affair out of spite or loneliness. I just existed for a brief time at both ends of my love spectrum. I found the one. The one that was right for me and made me whole. But then I ran across that other one. The one that's totally wrong for me but feels so good. So the fantasy led to a fling led to a thing led to a dangerous dance. Most people can't handle one love. I was trying to balance two. So eventually I made the right decision and got rid of the one that was wrong for me.

Many years passed and I had forgotten all about that other one. But suddenly the lust and passion came back to me and I went crawling back. This time the guilt and the pain weren't there. It felt good. It felt right. Oranges taste so good, how could they be bad for me? How could this feeling be wrong?

I used to be allergic to oranges and orange juice but after staying away for several years the allergy went away.

You tricked me. I already had a post in mind for what I thought the subject was.

As for the actual (read: boring) topic, I do not have any allergies to speak of and can continue to eat whatever the smurf I want.

Guilt. A dear old friend of mine, who I finally managed to get rid off... without any guilt.

can you have any of those though [or did you mean you don't know yet]? because I can't and I'm a sad panda :sadpanda:

So far I've only had reactions to pineapple.

I didn't say the topic was allergies.

[NorthernChaosGod]

That's what you're talking about.

Actually, I may have something relevant. Since school started back up, one of my close friends and his girlfriend went back to school in North Dakota. I had to say bye to them.

I'm pretty sure I have some sort of food allergy because SOMETHING, not sure what, gives me fits and stomach aches and other digestive problems that are too TMI to put here. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't care to find out, because I like everything that I eat so I'm just gonna deal with it.

I'm allergic to bleach.
