I am a hunter and I just got a girlfriend that is a pacifist how do I make this relationship work?

Well I mean your hunting animals not people so you should be good.

And even if she didn't like it well who cares. If hunting is part of who you are then she'll just have to deal with that and either accept you or reject you. Unless you want to start going down the rocky path of giving up parts of yourself to make your partner happy. Which is a slippery slope to go down.

Does she know you hunt? If she knows and it doesn't bother her then you're fine, if she knows and she doesn't like it, and you aren't going to stop, then it's a few long conversations to see if y'all will work. It's important to talk about these things semi early if you're hoping for a long term relationship

Doubt that you will, mind you it depends if your girlfriend is being truthful and is a pacifist and not just anti-gun.

If you hunt to fill the larder then a pacifist should not be bothered, but if she's anti-gun your hunting could be a serious sticking point unless you're a bow hunter. I'd ask her to clear up what she means by 'pacifist'.

Unless you hunt people, I think that she has no reasons to object.

Enter a polyamorous relationship with a necromancer and you're good to go

Just tell her you'll be hunting the things that hunt Bambi

[Anonymous]

You don't tell her you hunt

Is she a vegetarian?

[NoNameByNF]

No she eats meat

There you go. If you are hunting plentiful species and consuming the meat, she has no room for complaint. There’s no shortage of deer and a clean kill in the field is no less humane than raising cattle or pigs for slaughter.
