My (m25) wife (f25) is six weeks pregnant. She has terrible morning sickness and everything seems to get her sick, the doctor said it was normal and that we should get rid/ try to avoid the smells that make her sick. Basically every strong smells gets her sick, for example she has had to give up scented candles (which she loves to light up when she's working/ having a bath) because the smell make her nauseous now.
Well another thing that makes her sick is the smell of meat cooking/ cooked. You know how it is, when you're cooking somw type of meat the whole apartment (which is rather small) is filled with a strong smell. I cook for us always. Recently she asked me to not cook meat anymore until the sickness is done or until the pregnancy is over in case it never ends. She told me that each time I cook meat she has to run to the bathroom to throw up. She said that we could eat vegetarian food/ vegan food for now.
I'm not completely against the idea if eating vegetarian/ vegan food some times a week, but every day? That's too much to ask. I feel like she's been unreasonable with this request. I told her that we could eat veggies for 3/4 foods per week but that I can't compromise to just eat veggies for every meal for months. She told me that this way it means that she'll have to be sick every other day because I just want to be selfish. I don't feel I'm being selfish, I feel like she is. I have to stop eating what I want just for her? Its unreasonable
