non-veg mates; was: that gross chem taste

[Guest guest]

You got that right, Scott...you are lucky/blessed!

Being with an omnivore is challenging.

You can't blame them for loving us...we just taste

better! *lol*

 

It takes a lot of mutual tolerance. Had I to do it

over again, I would hold out for a vegetarian man...

but we have been together since 1979 as a couple;

married since 1987! I wasn't a real vegetarian

until later... I started out as a pesca-pollotarian,

then went lacto-ovo later on.

Good thing he likes vegetarian food!

many people on this

list have non-veg spouses/significant others. my fiancé is veggie

and I am vegan,

and that is about as big a dietary difference as I can deal with (in

a relationship that

is) ;-). fortunately for me Nicole is almost vegan and only cooks

vegan (by chance,

she isn't crossing this far over).

Hey everyone

just thought I would add my two cents about nonveg mates.....when I married my

hubby he was not a veggie....and to be honest ...it was horriable....I didnt

like the fact that I was forced to watch him eat flesh. It was heartbreaking to

be and was really a start of alot of fights. But I stayed strong and I refused

to have meat, cook meat or buy meat for years. Then when my first child was

born....we had tiffs after tiffs about the kids being vegetarian. Becuase there

was no way I was going to feed flesh to my kids. How we dealt with it was that I

was able to state my case to my kids , as was he...he offered when we were

out....and I presented them with a flesh free life.....BUT with the kids they

refused meat on their on accord (small victory for mom lol) they never ever

liked it....so with myself and my three children looking at my hubby as if he

was eating dirt....disgusted and the whole thing....I am happy to say he is noe

vegetarian , and has been for a year and half! We are now

on our way to being a VEGAN family, him the leader in that move! So my point is

that sometimes it just takes time for them to see what their doing, maybe if you

stay strong, suppling them with tons of info, maybe things will change?
