My boyfriend of 20 years shockingly confessed to me.
That he hates lemons. Lemonade, lemon chicken, lemon cake, lemon zest, etc.

Should I divorce him?

18. - I - hate Limoncello...

It's cloyingly sweet, with far too little offsetting lemon tang.

10. is it really that big a deal?
I hate oranges - don't like orange flavor, and the smell of the things is disgusting to me.

My wife knew about this early on, and despite thinking I'm some kind of freak, has managed to live with it. Despite the fact that she quite enjoys oranges.

Of course, in return, I think she's some kind of freak for not liking mint :evilgrin:

12. He sounds like a regular man to me.
Now, if he hates mushrooms, that's another story.

14. Why would you get rid of him
when he's given you a weapon to use against him. Next time he pisses you off, dust every surface in the house with lemon-scented Pledge, or hide a lemon wedge under his car seat.

17. Does the "lemon" law apply?
Can you trade him in on a new one?

Just kidding. Perhaps there is a rehab for this betrayal!!! There seems to be a rehab for everything these days!!!
