Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 YES! My husband is a meat eater, very hard core meat eater when we met. He had to have meat at every meal or he swore he would fade away! For years, I made veggie meals and he would make whatever meat he wanted on the side. Now, there has been less and less meat on the side until it is a very rare thing. It's been literally months, though there are some cold cuts in the fridge and some sausage patties in the freezer. I figure if I expect him to respect my eating decisions, I should certainly respect his so I don't fuss or say a word. I just don't cook any meat so he has to do it (he is an excellent cook so that is not an issue) My teenage daughter became vegetarian and that further cut down on the meat since he used to make it for her also. I think it just isn't worth the trouble now since he is very happy eating veggie meals. If you told me he would be like this 5-10 years ago, I would have said you are dreaming! Sure, it can work just fine with a little tolerance for each other.
