Help - I am burned out and dealing with someone who is stubborn

Kartwk,
Just wondering. Has your husband been tested for allergies? If he can cough up stuff from his lungs so easily there must be something going on. I have many allergies and one allergy I have is to mold. Mold and other fungal diseases can grow under leaves so that could be why he has a problem outdoors. I have had an issue with this.

Has your husband had his lungs x-rayed?

Doc says it is not allergies nor asthma but emphysema and COPD. Thus, a lot of stuff out there is not for him.
I am the one with the allergies, even to mold. I can tell you that when I walk out the door after a rain and smell the earthy clean it doesn't bother me. It smells good.

One thing I have noticed is that if I use, say vinegar and water to clean the kitchen he doesn't say or smell anything UNTIL he happens to see the vinegar bottle. Then, oh his lungs, hack, hack. I think a lot of it is in his mind = he is looking for a problem.
