...to cook fish in my own home?

[cheesypeas]

...to cook fish in my own home? This may sound trivial, but it is causing huge friction at home.

DH hates the smell of it, and complains even if I've cooked it when he's out of the house. This issue has become larger in the past year since we have not been going through a tough patch, and seems to me to be an excuse for him to vent. In the past it was not a problem, he does not usually eat fish, which is fine and I respect his personal choice not to eat what he wants.

Sorry if this seems a petty request for validation, as to me it seems like a weird question, but DH feels so strongly that IABU about this I am starting to doubt myself.

a bit unreasonable maybe.
Not a huge deal to not cook it i think ...if he detests it that much. I would be a bit pissed about it tbh... if it made me want to gag
Use it as an excuse to go out with friends and eat fish

The smell of cooked fish can be a bit overwhelming, I sometimes feel a bit queazy when I come in to the house in the evening and we have had fish the night before.

It all depends how you cook it, poaching, or cooking a lovely salmon risotto in the slow cooker as I have just done ( boast boast) leaves little smell, but with frying or grilling it does seem to linger for a long long time.

Buy a chef's candle to show willing but don't let it become a big issue.

Thanks to all that have responded, good to get so many views and suggestions. In my defence, I don't cook fish when DH is in the house, and I will definitely look out for the cook's candles. I also like the suggestion of using it as an excuse to eat out with friends more! I can see now that I was perhaps a little dogmatic about the issue from my perspective, and I realise that we should really focus on the wider issues of consideration for my DH (and his consideration to me). We have still not discussed the matter as he's been rather hungover today, so I will wait for a better moment to chat, over a meal (non-fish) and a glass of wine.

vole3!

all sounds good cheesy. good luck.
