Would you give up meat for your vegetarian boyfriend if it was a deal breaker? (Page 3)

Question

My boyfriend and I have had issues recently and one recurring issue is the meat/veg diet. I’m a meat eater and never saw myself change, he is vegetarian and has a strict Indian family life, where he believes that I need to also be vegetarian at home because I will be moving into his house. He’s making me choose between being a vegetarian at home and breaking up with him. I’m very torn because I know it’s a hard change and decision and the answer I give now will be final. So even if I think I can do it now, I can’t change my mind. I keep going back and forth on my decision with this because I don’t know what it’s going to be like. Would you break up with someone over dietary requirements for the long term?

Dre_808 · Answer

No I would not give up meat. I don't think it's right that you have to give up meat. The whole thing sounds very selfish on his part. You are better off finding someone who will accept you for who you are.

ciitruskiwi · Answer

I'm not a huge fan of meat to begin with. I prefer vegetarian dishes more so I'd try it. It would be a little hard though. I still like burgers and stuff.

melanieeeB · Answer

I would not change myself for someone else. I believe he should accept you the way you are, sure you can and should do compromises in a relationship but not something like his

carbo · Answer

If something as simple as your diet is a make and break, I gotta give it to you honey - you're not with the right guy.

bubble_tea · Answer

Strange. I didn't know strict Indian culture = vegetarian. Anyway, I can't see myself with a vegan, but never in my mind would I break up with him, because he refuses to eat animal products.

BatmansWife · Answer

No. I would never give up eating meat for a significant other. I love meat foods way too much to give it up! I'd totally break up with him if that were the two choice.

ScarletAngelic · Answer

I'm already a vegetarian. I defiantly would not start eating meat for them though, lol. I've dated someone who became a vegetarian for me. We broke up though.

more2life · Answer

Absolutely not. Never. I am my own person, and he cannot handle that, I will be my own person with someone else. No human being is worth living life without bacon.

mrsports008 · Answer

if he won't accept you for who you are screw him. plus if you give in on this expect to make other lifestyle concessions

ShyGuy30 · Answer

Get rid of him, he shouldn’t be forcing you to change your lifestyle because he’s too much of a pussy to stand upto his parents

Cosytoasty · Answer

I would break up with someone who says i can't do something because she doesn't do it.

Jameswbj1 · Answer

You shouldn't have to change something like that over your partner, if he's not willing to accept you eating meat, then he's not worthy

cinderelli · Answer

no I WOULD NOT!!! I seriously would not.. it's so selfish of him to give you an ultimatum like this.. break up with that control freak because he's seriously not someone to spend your life with.. ugh

mspngs93 · Answer

That’s ridiculous, sorry. I would choose against him if he’s making you choose between a lifestyle choice that isn’t putting you in harms way.

dv101499 · Answer

Um no a 100000000% no Its simple you cook separate, I can cook vegetarian for him and I'll cook whatever I want lol and he could do the same thing with me, no need for breaking up

Anonymous · Answer

IF I GIVE UP MY MEAT, HE MUST GIVE UP HIS... ... jk

LondonGirl91 · Answer

I don't think anyone should expect you to do that. I've dated vegetarians and they never cared that I ate meat and fish.

enlightened · Answer

Never be with someone who would leave you over your diet. Tell him he should accept you as you are or he can go please his strict Indian family

NatashaJ · Answer

Nope if he respects you he find a way to work it out and why should you have to change your lifestyle to benefit his wants?

SarahsSummer · Answer

Seems like a pretty strict boyfriend. I’d have to think twice about any relationship with someone so demanding. Break up.

What the fuck
Fuck him that mother fucker bob vagana thing
It's not like he is asking you to stop taking cocaine that yes I would agree with him..
But related to food?

Leave that hairy pinis small balls he got

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

If I want to go vegetarian then it should be when I am ready. You have to be mentally ready stop eating meat or you won't stick with being a vegetarian. Why didn't ge mention this before you two got together?

art84 · Answer

I could never date someone who was vegetarian and forced that on me. Just break up with your boyfriend for making you chose a side either you become a vegetarian or break up? That's pretty selfish if you ask me.

Butthole1234 · Answer

He shouldn’t make you choose. That’s controlling to me.

PaulMarrow · Answer

Your boyfriend doesn't respect or value you beyond his own ideological possession. Find a boyfriend that gives a shit.

Anonymous · Answer

I can't imagine life without meat, not only because I enjoy it, but because health issues for me to consume meat. Ketogenic is practically saving my mother's and my life. So for me, it'd be a deal breaker.

katsandbats · Answer

Im like your boyfriend. I won't kiss a meat eater bc im vegan and its because i dont want to kiss death. Considering its a cultural problem for him, he is right because it can be quite offensive

Duke1985 · Answer

I would break up with someone who tells me between them and the food i eat. I'd break up and order a nice big juicy horsemeat in a fancy restsurant! No seriously, break up with him

rudra19 · Answer

I don't think food habits should be criteria for love you guys should just chill and openly accept each other's choice rather. there's no point in getting food between love

Greaver · Answer

Nope diets aren’t something to break up with someone for I’m a meat eater and if I dated a vegetarian then I would stop eating as much steak and beef because that’s the person I am

mikeaus · Answer

No... he's just being a zealot... you should be allowed to have your own views or opinions. When's it stop... next he will dictate what you will have to wear

LionBill · Answer

Im a vegetarian. I've never eaten meat and I think thats ridiculous.

LordPK20797 · Answer

I date girls but HELL NO. No one can judge what I eat. That's a deal breaker, choosing what I eat. Eating meat is fine because animals damn eat new here too. Don't do it, he has to learn to respect people.

gatorade4u · Answer

No veganism is cancer. Why doesn't he turn omnivore like a human is supposed to be. Dump him or you'll be as annoying as the vegans in the world telling everyone every 5 seconds they're vegan and meat is murder or whatever b. s.

empressturd · Answer

no. and if i do, I'd tell him I'd gladly stop eating meat, meat including his penis.

BlackieJ · Answer

Yes I would become a vegetarian. You just need to fill the protein with other stuff. Which I do.

cutie_cute · Answer

I would never do that. Most of all because I dont like all vegetables😂😂

EnglishHorseJumperr · Answer

Sure, I’m already vegan so I wouldn’t be doing something I’m not used to.

adsrsd · Answer

I think you should eat what the f you want to eat honestly.

Astoriana · Answer

As it would personally be extremely detrimental to my health, no, I would not.

JointMastaJay · Answer

As far as foregoing meat & it's many byproducts are concerned; nerp - I just couldn't do it. Fleshitarian all the way!

Anonymous · Answer

I’m a vegetarian and it’s honestly not that bad. There are other foods with protein and you end up spending a heck a lot less at the grocery. And if you seriously love this dude then give up meat

RationalMale · Answer

If your boyfriend values you so little he would dump you if you don't give up meat, why would you ever move in with him?

deanlarouche · Answer

I think if he wants to be with you. he will be respectful of your wishes. If not then he isn't the one plain and simple.

InTimoreDei · Answer

Food is one of those things that is difficult when living together. To make things run smooth at home, both people need to like the same food.

Siiimpatico2-20 · Answer

Depends on the girl but I'd definitely had to have been with her for a good while

Aime-moi · Answer

No, I would not.  He would have to accept that I eat meat or leave me.

spartan55 · Answer

Absolutely not, I would never tell my SO what she could or could not eat.

CZLumen · Answer

Dump him.  Period.  The sooner you move on the sooner both of you will find compatible partners.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope. It's one thing if you were a vegetarian as well when he met you and now you suddenly decided to try meat and he is unhappy... but he knew from the start that you ate meat, to ask you to stop for his sake wouldn't be fair or right.

poiuyrvhgd · Answer

As long as you are still going to suck his cock I do not see a problem.

lordrakster · Answer

I might breakup... especially when it comes to cooking for eachother. It'd be hard to prepare both a meat dish AND a full vegetarian dish on a near daily basis...

clampfan101 · Answer

I can only assume so. I don’t feel I’m too picky about food. I do love a simple cheeseburger now and then, but I’d rather have a significant other than a significant sandwich. lol

RhandyV · Answer

I dated a girl which was a vegetarian but she didn't mind me eating meat and would still even cook it i guess if you love eachother what you eat shouldn't be a dealbreaker

whynot12 · Answer

Sorry to say this but I'm a vegeterian and I wouldn't ever force my girlfriend to be. Luckily she is so it works, but that sounds kind of like a bad situation waiting to happen.

hasrett · Answer

No way! If he can't deal with something so basic as my diet, well good bye to you boy.

MaxPlum · Answer

No, would find a new S/O that loves Steak as much as me!

Kayla45 · Answer

Probably would try it with him, it just all depends on what I could substitute meat for.

rose64bit · Answer

Yes! You need to make sure that you are happy every step of the way. And a life without bacon doesn't sound like fun to me.

jamaletje · Answer

If he is giving you an altimatum. On a trivial matter I would breakup. As he should also respect your wish to continue eating meat.
