We have the same issue in our house DH is a meat-eater and I'm trying to stop eating it all together. I have been vegan before and when I was, we were both healthier. I don't know what I would have done if DH had ever spoken to me that way and I can see why you were upset! I'm glad your DH apologized! Here's what we worked out: I cook for him, but I do not cook meat. I will purchase cooked, roasted chicken at the deli, probably once a week. DH eats that, sometimes I do too. Then I use the leftovers to cook something for him like chicken enchiladas or some casserole comfort food that I know he loves and take to work for lunch, but I do not eat it. I also purchase pre-seasoned vaccum packed fish and bake that for him. I do not have to touch it or season it - or sometimes I just leave it out and he cooks it himself.
If things get too tough, go on a cooking strike for a week or so. He'll appreciate your good vegan cooking after that! BTW, I just purchased the Mark Bittman book mentioned earlier and it is the best vegetarian cookbook I have purcased so far. I like it better than the Deborah Madson book. It is so comprehensive and it is recommended by Mario Batali and Bobby Flay, two big meat eaters!
Good luck!
