Should I become a vegetarian to save our relationship?
We’ve been together for 3+ years. He was a vegetarian when we first met. He now says that its a deal breaker if I don’t become a vegetarian. It is a moral issue for him. I respect his views but I do not have the same degree of attraction/commitment to this issue. I want the relationship to work but find myself resenting his “mandate.” Should I fake it to keep the relationship going?
Don’t fake it, either be veggie, or don’t.
Faking it is lying to him and yourself.
Whats worth more: the meat, relationship or mutual respect ?
We all compromise for our partners in one way or another. If we love them, we are happy to compromise. What we eat, where we live, what jobs we do, what we do at weekends, where you go on holiday, cars you buy, homes you buy….all examples. This is true of him and you.
I would say discuss it with him. You see, we have nothing to loose here so our advice doesn’t really count for much. Whereas you and him have potentially a lot to loose so it should be a discussion between the 2 of you.
