If you were in a 4 year relationship, and decided to become vegan due to moral reasons (after already being vegetarian for almost 3 years), but your partner for some reason was strongly against veganism (claims it makes her sick??)... would you stay with that person even if it meant going against your morals?<br><br><br><br>
Personally, I feel that is COMPLETELY unfair. She has pretty much put me on the spot of choosing between one or the other. The fact the she's put me on that spot saddens me, and causes me to want to distance myself. She claims veganism is too extreme and abnormal. She says she wants to be able to go out to restaurants, and that being with a vegan would make her sick everytime she sat down at the table. I havent pressured her at all at becomming a veg*n, so I feel she is completely out of line by forcing me to basically eat eggs and milk. I think its silly. I could care less what my significant other ate.... as long she stayed healthy. She could eat paper for the rest of her life and I'd be okay with it. The way I see it, if a relationship can't handle something so simple as this... maybe the relationship was not meant to be. She says I've ruined our relationship by becoming vegan (choosing it over her). I see it as the opposite. She's ruined it by not accepting me. I REALLY do love her, but if she can't accept me because of what I eat... then I dont think the relationship is as strong as it should have been. Any thoughts? Am I making the right decision? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
