Vegetarianism - Deal breaker?

[wilee]

First off, I have nothing against vegetarians, if they're happy with their choice in life, that's fine by me. But I'm wondering about whether a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian can have a successful relationship without driving each other crazy?

A girl I know (who is a vegetarian) and have hung out with told me that she's into me, and while I think she's great, I just wonder if this one thing is going to create problems. She once yelled at a friend of mine for ordering chicken wings in front of her.

I like my steak, and I like other kinds of meat too. I'm not ready to give up my carnivourous ways any time soon. Anybody else have a veg/non-veg relationship successfully or does it cause problems?

I know a couple that have been married for over 10 years. She's a vegetarian and he's an omnivore.

They've managed to work things out. For her it's a personal choice and doesn't consider those who eat meat as murderer.

I think whether or not it works out will depend more upon the reasons that both of you eat what you do and the "politics" behind it.

[Hoojibs]

It depends on the girl. I dated a girl who was a vergetarian and eating out with her, it never bothered her that I was having a burger. She even use to still prepare "non-vegetarian" meals for her family.

Obviously, not everyone is the same but if you like each other it really shouldn't be an issue.

My sister is a vegetarian and her husband isn't. They've been married for 10 yrs happily because they are tolerant of each other's choice.

As long as either person is not an asshole about it, they should be fine.

On a side note, I was wondering if two divorced men could share an apartment without driving each other crazy.

Were the guys married to each other? If so, I doubt they could share an apartment.

Given the chance a vegetarian would kill you and your whole family. Don't you forget it either.

Hmmm... That post came out of left field.

Skipped some of your meds Yerdaddy? :p

One of my friends thought I was being superficial about the whole thing. I'm just thinking she might "try to change" me which could create a problem.

Sorry, but I'll have a side of prime rib with my Angus, thank you.

My girlfriend is a vegetarian, which basically means i'm a vegetarian, too.

What Jon said.

There isnt a problem unless one of you makes one.

Maybe ask her why shes a vegetarian? I love those answers.

[schmega]

i woulda thrown the wings at her, pick it up off the floor, and make her eat it. the fuckin audacity of some people...

this isnt gonna work, not cuz she's a veg, but cuz she's a self-important bitch.

As long as she likes cucumbers, no big deal.

If she gives you any shit, let her know there's some meat on her you won't be eating.

Actually, if she does give you any, you could always give it to DJEvelEd for his weird sex act purposes.

Spread the love.

What he eats is a different topic in which I do not wish to engage.

Ah, sorry Freakshow. I don't usually read the quotes under the pretty pictures. I get distracted. :)

Seems there's sorta a 50/50 split here. Guess the only way to know is to try.

I'll now have to research vegetarian dishes. Most of the stuff I cook has some form of meat in it. I just don't like the idea of eating tofu.

But she has told me she makes good imitation meatballs out of mushrooms and stuff. Even though I dislike mushrooms, it might be worth a try just to see if they taste like the real thing.

My hubby is a vegetarian, I am not. We have been married 7 years now. I sometimes think of it as having a kosher household. I will make meat meal for myself and also prepare a vegetarian version for him using textured vegetable protein. There are also times when I just cook vegetarian dishes. It just gets annoying sometimes when we are in the city and I try to get him to try some of the new vegetarian restaurants and he insists on dragging me for miles insisting on eating in a mainstream restaurant and not finding anything suitable. He could care less if someone ordered a side of beef in front of him. This is his personal choice and he doesn't try to get anyone to change and appreciates it when others at the table respect his choice too.Text

[furie]

i've found that most vegetarians are intolerant of meat eating habits. Not totally, most don't speak out or stop people from eating meat, but it still irks them to watch us eat, if only a little.

Give it a try.

I don't smoke and I hooked up with someone who does. I don't "bug" him about it; it's his thing.

On the same terms, he's considerate of me. He smokes outside at his own house.

Just ask her if your habits will get in the way. She's a friend of yours so she should already know you like to eat meat. If it's a problem don't pursue it.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am dating a pothead, and I am an excercising health freak. We get along most of the time, except for when he plays Farrell loudly thoughout his entire apartment, turns off the lights so I'm just laying there, and proceeds to fall fast asleep. At this point I have to sit in his bathroom for the next 45 minutes on a closed toilet seat reading my book because he has all this technology crap going on and will probably get mad at me if I turn it off. So, yeah-- we get along even though he smokes pot, and I don't. Well, maybe once in a blue moon when I feel silly. He still won't do yoga with me!

I've found recently that hanging with a vegetarian can be entertaining/funny.

She called my cell while I was shopping and asked what I was up to. I told her she didn't want to know. After she continued to persist, I told her "she asked for it", and that I was selecting an Angus porterhouse to grill for dinner that night, which is exactly what I was doing at the time.

She hemmed and hawed about it, but agreed that she shouldn't have pushed the issue.

Last week, she met me at the bar I hang out in, and we headed over to another one that we visit on occasion. She complained that she was cold. I offered her my jacket, which was leather, and she wouldn't wear it. I offered to get a fleece zip-up from my car, but she said to "forget it".

I'm sure there will be more entertainment soon.

Exactly! I mean, how were you supposed to stay warm if you were going to give her YOUR jacket??!!
