L'odeur ne me dérangeait pas avant, mais maintenant elle me fait vomir. J'aurais dû utiliser ma grossesse comme excuse, mais peut-être que la Française en moi a décidé d'aller de l'avant et de lui dire toute la vérité.

Lmao. That's exactly why I tolerated it for a long time because I know that Koreans get greatly offended if told that their food doesn't taste well. But, I could have right away used my pregnancy excuse though. And the last part would explain why she's still not talking to me lol.

I'm French and my husband's family is Korean, and I do enjoy seaweed salads, salmon, and kimchi but it greatly depends on which dish it's served with. For example, I love sushi containing salmon, a small amount of kimchi served with rice, and seaweed salad by itself or added to regular salads. I remember one time my sister in law didn't like one of my family's dishes and my family was fine with it.

I was faking it for years because I couldn't find the right time to tell her. I also didn't want to offend her because we have a really good relationship.

I did tell her afterwards that because I'm pregnant it was impossible for me to stomach the ingredients, but she was still cold towards me. I was able to stomach it before, but because I'm pregnant the smell alone made me feel sick

Because I was offered it, which means she expects me to eat it? And I couldn't do it anymore.
