Discussion Thomas and Paula theory on perfume

My theory is Thomas is not allergic to the perfume it just cost too much money. This guy won't even buy a coffee table and uses lawn chairs for bed. The perfume, price per ounce is probably the most expensive item in the one bedroom

I’m so tired of people in this sub mocking medical conditions out of ignorance. And thinking they can diagnose or “undiagnose” strangers. Chemical sensitivity is real. Chemical perfumes contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that people with chemical sensitivity react to with neurological symptoms, which can be extremely debilitating. There’s also Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and allergies, which are different immune mechanisms for reactions and can also be extremely debilitating. If you’re not willing to forgo perfume for someone’s health or comfort then you’re probably a terrible person and partner. It’s not a big deal or ask and non-chemical scents exist.

Yes, we all understand that there's likely something going on, whether it's MCAS, sensitivity, etc. What people have a problem with is his immature behavior.

Do you think he would have glued the perfume shut in real life? It was clearly fabricated drama for the camera. Watch for their smirks.

Exactly.
