Answers:
most food places/restaurants can accommodate both vegetarians and meat eaters!. for example, you both can eat at in-n-out!.!.!.he gets a burger and you can have a grilled cheese!.
i think it'll be more of a challenge with groceries and cooking at home!.
maybe you can even get your bf to try a vegetarian meal one day a week or so just to get him used to it!. good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

!.!.well for one there is barely a difference in meat eating to vegetarian!. Everywhere you go has vegetarian options, its not that hard to cut out eating meat!.
McDonald's is gross to begin with, fast food, but also terribly damaging to the environment, HOWEVER, there are salads there now, which are good, and fruit and walnut thing!.
And if you don't want to cook him meats anymore, then tell him that!.

And at nicer places there will almost always be a pasta or eggplant that you can get to eat!. Or like at Red Lobster!.!. they had a clam fettuccine alfredo!. I go that w/o the clam and had that!. There is always an option!. And if he is not ok w/ you being a vegetarian then get rid of him!. Simple as that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I live in Australia and McDonalds isn't healthy food anyway, so you wont be missing out!. If you go out to a proper restaurant and not a fast food restaurant then there should be heaps of vegetarian dishes on the menu!.

I am a vegan and although I am only seventeen, I wouldn't be cooking meat for my boyfriend!. But then again I was vegan before we started dating!. I understand that you have been doing it for him since I don't know when and you were (and still are!?) eating meat, but tell him how you feel about it and why the sudden change!. If he wants to eat meat - then he can cook it himself!. You are not stopping him, you aren't changing his views!. Cook vegetarian meals now - he is always welcome to have some of it!.!.!.

Who knows!? Maybe he'll even go vegetarian with you!?!? You never know!.

Congratulations on going vegetarian by the way! Www@FoodAQ@Com

If he cares about you he will support your choice!. There are many dishes that can be made vegetarian and meat added to only part-pasta, stir fry, mexican, even soup!. Example-make tacos-he has ground beef for his and you have beans for yours!. Potato soup-have cooked ham on the side for him to add to his!. Pasta-he can add cooked chicken, sausage or shrimp to his!. You get the idea!.
Fast food is a little more problematic but they almost all have a garden salad or a salad you can get without meat!. But fast food isn't my first choice anyway so I'm not a good resource for what they have-I usually just do a bean burrito if I need something quick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

compromise! Respect each others choices and do a little homework before you go out for a meal and see if they serve both veggie and meat meals!. It may take a little extra effort on each of your parts, but if you both care and respect each other, then it shouldn't be much of a problem!. if you feel uncomfortable cooking meat then bf is going to have to deal with that, maybe you could cook a meat meal for him on special ocassions, that's up to you!. I guess it's similar to one partner that smokes and one doesn't!. If you care for that person, you respect their choice to choose!. to each their own I say!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, you probably shouldn't eat fast food anyway because it's terrible for you!. You should also know that MCDONALD'S FRIES ARE NOT VEGETARIAN!!! Neither are Burger King's or Wendy's!. I don't know about Hardee's!.!.!. we don't have those on the West Coast!.

I think you need to sit your boyfriend down and tell him about your decision and ask him to respect it and not expect you to cook meat for him or eat meat with him!. Though, you also cannot expect him to give up his diet (no matter how DISGUSTING it may be)!. Many restaurants are able to accommodate for vegetarians if you just ask!

If he really loves your, he'll respect your decision and maybe learn to cook his own steaks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

My husband is a meat eater but I don't cook any meat for him!. He only gets meat when we eat out or when he is at work!. I won't eat fast food (with the exceptions of Subway and Chipotle) but besides that we can eat anywhere!. It's really not a big deal!. He doesn't complain and it's not a huge inconvenience to find someplace to eat besides McDonald's!. I hope your boyfriend will be as understanding!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hope the answer in this question can help you!.and if you guys are eating out at mcd!.not a big problem realy!.he can eat whatever he wants and you can just order the soda or non at all!.just tell him you're a vegetarian and said that you'll not force him to change his diet with you!.but if we're eating out at non vege places i'll just watch you eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't worry about what your boyfriend will say!. You do what you believe in!. If he loves you then he will support you!. Tell him that he has to cook his own meat products from now on!. When you eat out just make sure that you don't eat anything with meat in it!. It's not hard!. I'm a vegan and I have no problem eating out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Start cooking vegetarian products!. If he doesn't like them he can cook his own meals!. You have no obligation to continue to cook meat!.

And try to avoid places like McDonald's and Hardees, as there isn't much you can eat there!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can get your veggie meals, but don't expect him to go veggie with you!. If your relationship is stronger than a meal, you'll be OK!. If not, it must not have been too strong from the start!.
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
