Is it okay for me to eat meat in front of my vegan girlfriend?

I'm a strict vegetarian and I hate it when people eat meat infront of me, it disgusts me and I think it's disrespectful. My boyfriend knows that and though he's a hardcore non-vegetarian, he eats veg when he's out with me.

He even offered to stop eating meat completely for me but I told him that it's ok.. just don't eat that stuff in front of me. I had many pets from birds to fish to cats in my house while growing up so I am really sensitive when it comes to animals.

i was a vegetarian until I was forced to start eating meat again because of my iron levels
and I'm greek-italian so everyone eats meat around me

so I'm totally fine with it
i doubt she really cares if you eat it or not

If she knew you were not a vegan when you started dating, I would wonder why you eating meat would bother her. Obviously if she wanted to date a vegan, she would.

Unless you guys didn't ever eat together?

I'm vegan, I wouldn't mind, but every girls' different

coming from a vegan with a meat eater boyfriend.
you can eat whatever you like in front of her.=]
i bet she doesn't care.
but it be nice of you would take her out to dinner where they had vegan options(besides a salad) or even if you made the dinner yourself.

yeah.I was a vegitarian

I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend eats meat like it's the only food left in the world, but I'm okay with it. The only thing that bothers me is when he tries make a big deal out of it, like when he talks about why he can't be a vegetarian or sometimes he'll tell me he ate meat when I wasn't around him like he's confessing a sin or something.Just don't make a big deal out of it and don't make your eating habits the only topic of discussion when you go out to eat together, also it might be nice every once and awhile to eat vegan meal to show you respect her choice, but you don't have change.

Yea dude. Unless she specifically says so (let her say it, don't ask).

yea, it should be cuse she's use to it, but check with her 2. ask her if it bothers her.

My uncle is married to a vegetarian
I seen him the other day while he was over in the UK (he lives in Canada) and we went for a meal and he got a big steak while she had her veggie shit lol
It's fine and if your unsure just ask her
I bet her girl friends eat meat in front of her
Observer her reactions like if you eat a burger when you bite into it does she flinch and recoil
Then I think you better ask yourself not whether you should stop eating meat but whether she is right for you. Why should you sacrifice your meat just cos she is a big wuss (yeah I'm a guy but I'm sure lots of girls would agree its just stupid this)

I've been out with several girls who were vegetarian/vegans and I always ate meat in front of them. They were absolutely fine with it.
Just ask, if she isn't then that's just silly really.

Sorry I seem to have stumbled on to the wussiest answers ever, grow some balls you have probably been eating meat all your life, and all of a sudden you want to adjust your dietary habits because of a girl you met when, a few minutes ago? I guess the main question is would you make her change her eating habits because of you?

And my answer to your question is yes eat your meat, you both made personal lifestyle choices, she should be as willing to accept yours as you are to accept hers.

Coming from a vegan, I would talk it over with her. I personally believe that it's not my place to influence someone's diet. I think that were I to be with someone, I would say that they could continue their dietary habits and I won't change a thing, but I won't be using meat whenever I cook for her. I'd sit down with her and talk it out, what she's okay with. Maybe she'd be okay with you eating meat except for veal, or maybe she wouldn't be okay. The best way to be safe, ask her.

Personally, if I were in your shoes I couldn't handle not eating meat in front of my girlfriend. But you're the one who has to make that call, I think.

Could you spend the rest of your life consuming animal flesh behind your girlfriend's back?

I'm sorry it's very obvious I am for eating meat. Okay I lied, I'm not really sorry at all and I'm stuffing salmon into my face as I type.

But do consider that very pertinent question.

i wouldn't do that , it might get to her , she might not tell you , but it probably does. try and just order something with no meat that you might like , its hard to get used to it , but try and maybe eat a snack before you go out with her , that way you can be ok with eating stuff with no meat , I recommend getting pastas. or a salad and some bread.

I would try not to do that.
