| Vegetarians - how do you feel about your SO cooking meat? Posted: 9/20/2010 12:31:57 AM | I have always been a Vegetarian. I have rejected meat since it was first put on my plate. My opinion on this question is: The person cooking meat in my house must have a separate cooking pan to cook meat. My ex never cooked meat in my house, but he was allowed to, on a separete pan, I did not use. He got his meat food from fast food places and usually ate it before he got home. He had cook outs on my property in the cook out area outside. They cooked their meat on the outside grill, which did not bother me. | |

My ancestors didn't fight their way to the top of the food chain, just so we could poo-poo their accomplishments by eating bunny food...

| Vegetarians - how do you feel about your SO cooking meat? Posted: 9/20/2011 6:24:28 AM | I wont date a vegan...period..end of story..at some point in the relationship it will most likely become an issue. they are a pain in the a** to take out to dinner...no dairy, butter, etc..cant even use the same frying pan as fish,chicken..etc.. How many restaurants serve tofu?/:-( I tried it once (dated a vegan) because she was soo freckin' hot....but after a couple of months..it was way too much of a hassle. Cooking is my life...so we would not be compatible in a big way. I have seen a rare few examples work out, but its the case where food is nowhere near the top of their hobbies, fun, sharing, enjoyment of life, etc.. I live to eat..not eat to live. Even if a woman simply just orders a 'salad' everytime we go out..its a deal-breaker! LOL... | |

My views are - I have no issues with partners eating meat in restaurants or social situations, but I like my home to be meat-free. OP, …it seems the biggest objection is meat/meat-eating in, as you put it; "my home".
Does this extend and apply to a serious relationship escalated to cohabitation?
As in, …your "my home" becoming an "our home" in regards to you as part of a couple, …in which case, should you and your partner extend courtesy equally? As in compromise?
Or unequally as in; only your preference should be observed.
…..just curious. | |

Her friend obviously isn't miltantly vegetarian. She probably eats a vegetarian diet because that's what she prefers. To say it's a problem because she occasionally ate meat is actually YOUR problem not hers. You don't get to dictate how this person identifies themselves. You are a strict vegetarian. That is your choice. Good job on exercising your freedom of choice. Let others do the same. | |

| Vegetarians - how do you feel about your SO cooking meat? Posted: 5/12/2012 4:46:40 PM | I was a vegetarian for several years in my early 20s. The girl I was dating at the time (and her children) ate meat like normal human beings, and this didn't bother me at all.
Then too...I never ate her cooking anyway, so it wasn't to much of a change. | |
