Yes, I used to live in NE Texas!
That puts you in cottonmouth range. Western edge of it. I can't challenge the identification, but it is certainly possible.
And my husband did have a very sensitive nose.
Some people do. It is often women that have the more discriminating sense of taste and smell, but a man certainly can have it too. Sounds like it was useful in that instance.

Unfortunate circumstances to someone I care for, then Sam blew, then Ares blew for hours. Ares broke a window.

Now I have to put on a big smiley face and pretend life is grand. Otherwise I might trigger the sensitive lads.
I wish there were something useful I could tell you, but all I can say is that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find some time for yourself to relax and shake off the toils of the day.

Unless someone makes Sam pass out as soon as he gets home, I'll likely still have challenges.

I have to pretend to be happy.

I'm not happy.

It's one thing to deal with seriously disturbed people. It's 10 or maybe 10000 times worse to pretend you are happy when you're not.

It is ****ed up.

Sam's completely and unrealistically jealous over a kind gesture to a friend.

So now I have to play "buddy buddy" so he'll stop being pissed at me for being a friend to someone.

He's incapable of having meaningful friendships. That's not my fault.

If I don't play "buddy buddy" this will simmer, get worse. When Sam is mad, Ares freaks.

So, I'm putting on my acting shoes...

Its terrible. All I want to do is cry, not smile and be silly.

ETA: Unless its rude silly. But this isn't rude silly, I have to be nice silly.

I'm not surprised about Ares. From what you've written, he's very sensitive and thus easily upset and having had pissed would of course be a trigger for him.

Yup. I've got to be careful not to betray any emotion if he's getting weird in the head, or he'll use it for fuel.

Most can't pull this off.
