He's got control issues. Just remember, you live with the behaviors you put up with. If something is unacceptable to you, you have to let him know it.
No one can tell you what to eat. No one has the right to your body but you.
My hubby and I went through something similar. He's more open minded because he watched his dad almost die from a stroke, but still won't give up meat. I let him pick out vegan recipes to try and lo and behold he actually really likes a lot of them. He eats meat at lunch at work and when we go out and I don't give him a hard time. It has worked out well because we're willing to compromise and he doesn't feel deprived. If your husband is not willing to meet you halfway, take him to the doc for a cholesterol test. Maybe he'll cut back if the request comes from a professional! :)
Was it his idea for you to keep your finances separate? When you're married, generally everything is "ours" not "mine" and "yours". He sounds like a very immature, selfish, insecure control freak.
Tell him I said, "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Freaking what a baby!
Then tell him you are your own person, & if he has a problem with it to go stick it.
I can't stand when I see people in committed relationships where 1 bullies the other. FYI the bully is little boy.
In the end it's up to you, and he should respect your opinions (though I don't think cooking meat for your hubby once a week or so is the end of the world is it?? just don't eat it).
John Doe you are an ***
Well, if it's going to continue on like this, you might be better off single and vegan.
Nobody deserves emotional abuse.
Make him watch Earthlings. See if he changes his mind.
He sounds annoying
You are so right not to spend your money on meat! Because you are making the intelligent and ethical and environmental choice. If you do buy meat, you just encourage him to pressure you to buy it and cook it all the time.
I've been vegetarian a long time, and have lived with lots of different meat-eating room-mates. I've always said, If I manage the kitchen, I want a vegetarian kitchen, (but if you must have meat, you can do the kitchen work). I do not argue the right or wrong of vegetarian lifestyle. I just imply, if you want me to do your kitchen work, that's what I must have: a vegetarian kitchen. I have never had even a squeak of argument. I guess because, I meant it, and they knew it. Because I can live on very simple food, Fruit and nuts, hummus and avocado sandwiches, salads. I'm willing and able to eat a lot lighter than a man. When i do cook for meat-eating men I cook good hearty stick-to-the ribs food, and usually the classics, spaghetti, pizza, potatoes and gravy, chili and cornbread, eggs and hash-browns, broccoli with cheese sauce, veggie burgers, pancakes or waffles. Almost everyone I ever lived with, became a vegetarian, at least for the time I was living with them, and many became vegetarian for life.
When I met my husband, he ate meat. He agreed that I would do the kitchen work, and he would respect my wishes for a vegetarian kitchen. I in turn, encouraged him to eat what ever he wished outside of the home, when we went out to eat for instance. I never acted disrespectful when he chose to eat meat. I made an exception when he brought turkey leftovers home from his mother's house. I also make an exception for the cats food. We never really discussed vegetarian issues, other than a few sentences. Within a year, he became a vegetarian and now it's been 14 years. He works hard in construction and is very happy on a vegan diet. But when we were first together I made lacto-ovo vegetarian food.
If I were you, I would try not to make a big deal out of it. After all, preparing food to share with those you love should be happy thing. But I would stick to my guns. I would prepare healthy vegetarian food that I think he would like, and if he was rude or unappreciative, I would basically go on kitchen strike for a while, and eat salads or just make rice and beans. Then if he said please cook for me, I would negotiate the above agreement. Best of luck to you. BTW, with you doing all the kitchen work, he should be paying for the groceries, unless you have far more money than him, or unless he is paying more than you over-all for your expenses.
Sounds like your issues go beyond your going veg--I mean, he got mad because you pierced your nose and got a tat? My boyfriend actually likes my tats.
But you and your husband need to have a talk. You need to help him understand why you went veg. Understandable if you don't want to cook meat; perhaps you can come to a compromise in this regard, for example, he can buy meat products that have been cooked and eat them on special plates or cook his own meat in special pans for that purpose.
Every story has two sides. I would be interested also in his side of this drama. You were vegetarian and then you were not. You have now decided YOU want to be vegetarian again and so poof all of a sudden you have decided it is an evil substance. If my boyfriend liked a food I didn't I would have no problem making it for him even if I didn't eat it. It is something you do for your mate. My boyfriend and I are not married and I would not even throw out a mine and his. Part of a relationship or marriage is is compromise. Is it that big of a deal to you all of a sudden? Why? Sounds almost like you are possibly looking for a reason to be mad. You both work but you pay every single bill for the entire household?
Let's see. Does he pay YOUR rent with his hard earned money? Does he make YOUR car payment with his hard earned money? Does he mow the lawn, take the laundry in, pick up the kids at school or a multitude of other chores that married couples share?
If you don't want to share his life, don't. But his attitude stinks and it sounds a lot to me like you guys are headed for splitville.
If your husband can't even respect your dietary choice, then perhaps you should reevaluate your marriage.
I know a woman that is vegetarian and still cooks meat for the rest of the family. If I were your husband I would be eating at someone else's house.
He's probs mad coz now he knows that you wont eat his 'meat'
hahahhaa lulzz
nah man he sounds ridikuluss, dont listen 2 himmm
It sounds to me as if most of your issues have nothing to do with your vegetarianism.
He loves you, he cares about your health, that's all. Maybe try listening to him?
yall need to talk
