I want to become a vegetarian, but my husband is a meat eater, will this work?!

Well, I think that if he can be an understanding person, he will either be able to eat vegetarian along with you, or learn to fend for himself. You can try to pre cook the meat in larger portions and freeze it for him, so all he needs to do is microwave it or warm it up on the stove. But better yet, show him how fun being vegetarian can be, and embark on the journey together! My ex and I both became Vegan (I did it first of course) and then he followed shortly thereafter when he realized how great it was. He still practices it to this day. Good luck with everything, and thank you for being nice to animals :)

It depends on what you cook! Not sure where in the world you are but in the uk we have quorn which is a meat substitute which some meat eaters will eat otherwise you make 2 side by side one meat one not my partner and I manage fine!

If he will not join you in being veg then maybe you have to cook it for him still, if you do not mind, the poor guy.

I can not cook very well either but I do not eat meat!

So you cook for him now. He can't cook, and you you won't cook any meals for him that have meat in them? His world gets turned upside down because of your decision? Just checking

Here's my card, I'm a divorce lawyer....

Hi,

You will have to make two separate meals. Unless he will eat what you make. Make a veg dish and see if he likes it.

if he realy loves you, it should never be a problem:)

I follow a Vegan diet along with my son, I have a daughter who follows mostly a Vegetarian diet (Does cheat with tuna once or twice a week), but my other daughter and my husband are meat eaters. I cook for everyone in my house (Except I won't touch my daughter's tuna... stinky, gross, yuck). What I do here is cook a veggie and either rice or pasta for everyone. Then for my son and myself I fix a fake meat or soy dish. For my husband and daughter I cook them meat. I use gloves when I touch it because I really do think it is nasty, but I do it for them. Atleast once a week I will make a dish everyone can eat such as spaghetti with home made sauce. 1 or 2 other nights we have a "Whatever" night where we just eat left-overs, sandwiches, or other stuff in the house. I put Pinto, Kidney or Pink beans in the sauce instead of meat, along with onions, tomatos, tomato paste, tomato sauce and seasonings. That is always a hit with everyone who has tried it. Pinto beans "Hide" the best. While I don't like the idea of cooking meat, I do it for my husband and daughter to keep them happy because I've always done most of the cooking here.

I just moved out of the apartment my boyfriend and I shared (so I could go to school in another city), but before that, we were living together. He's an omnivore, and I'm a vegan and I did 100% of the cooking. Yes, it was all vegan. I suppose I'm blessed that he was willing to try everything, loved my food, didn't complain, and was appreciative. Well, after all he was eating good, home-cooked wholesome meals every night instead of ramen, spam, tv dinners or cereal. I'm lucky that he doesn't cook, and he didn't bring any meat into the house unless it was leftover from a restaurant or something. I hope your hubby is as open-minded and awesome as my boyfriend! Cook new, exciting dishes for him and he won't be sorry :)

I am a vegetarian, my other half is not. I am not really against eating meat, I simply choose not to eat it for my reasons. Because of that, I am not opposed to preparing it.
I will often make meals that I can leave out meat and add it later on, or cook in two different dishes. For example, I make eggplant parmesan for me, chicken parmesan for him. All the ingredients are the same but one and we just put them in separate dishes (I dip eggplant first of course). If I make spaghetti, I make meatballs on the side or simmer them in a smaller pot with a portion of the sauce. Same with stirfry, just cook tofu and meat on the side and add in (not the best way but it works).
I've tried to get him to eat a vegetarian meal, but he will not go for it. He liked the chana masala I made, but added chicken to it. LOL.
He does the same when he cooks. If I know he is planning to eat something I just can't eat, I make my own, he makes his own.
It takes a little bit of thought and planning, and a few more dishes, but it works just fine. No need for divorce.
Of course, if your decision to not eat meat includes a strong dislike for meat and handling it, it may be more difficult.

of course it can ;-)
its all about you 2
ive been with my boyf 10 years im veggie hes not
it works fine

sounds tho like hes gonna have to learn to cook for himself , which is no bad thing is it ;-D

its kinda a compromise,why not just , take turns to cook,
my boyf tends to do the cooking most of the time,
so he tends to make mine first
say if its a veggie curry, he wont eat vegetables, so he adds mine, leaves himself a bunch of rice and half the sauce and does his after

anyway usually the non veggie ends up eating more veggie foods naturally, it seems to have happend to every person i know,
and my boyf , who is a rabid meat eater, actually eats and enjoys an awful lot of my veggie foods
which was a natural progression

other thanthat, my boyf puts in his own dinner, tho you know guys, if you dont make them eat, they wont move from the playstation hahah
