If you marry a vegetarian, do you have to become a vegetarian too?!

My wife is a vegan, I'm not a vegetarian - Married 9 years.

it's easy to roll with vegetarians.
dont cook them meat, and dont take them to any restaurants that have no vegetarian options.
there's very few of them. vegetarians are crafty when it comes to their food.
you'd be utterly (pardon the pun) shocked how delicious meatless dishes can be

<-not a vegetarian

No. I'm a vegan engaged to an omnivore. There are some vegans who can't live with omnivores and there are some omnivores who can't live with vegans, but everyone is different. A "mixed" relationship can work if you spend more time thinking about the other person and less time thinking about what they eat. It also helps to make things clear up front. He knows I won't buy, prepare or clean up anything non vegan and neither of us expects the other to change.

If you marry a Christian, would you have to convert? Well, it depends whether you're marrying a tolerant Christian or a god-bothering preachy one.

Same with vegetarians. I'm veggie, my other half isn't, and it's a complete non-issue. If on the other hand I were a card-carrying PETA member who enjoyed shouting "meat is murder" in town centres at weekends and throwing red paint at people wearing leather jackets, then it might be a bit more of a problem compatibility wise.

People are different. Who'd a thunk it.

That's such a funny question becaure you already answered it really. A vegetarian who would insist that you be one too wouldn't marry you if you didn't become one first. It's like that with religion too. People who are that intollerant usually would not even date someone different.

Depends on your vegetarian. I've dated one and she was fine with it so long as I didn't force her to try my food. Often a meal is easy to prepare with the meat added in at the last minute to keep your portions separate. One extra dish won't kill you.

That said, if she's a religious vegetarian or is "nauseated by the smell of meat" (i.e. evolutionarily cross-wired), then you will find her constant nagging insufferable, and will consider divorce frequently.

I think you wouldn't have to but it really depends on your spouse... either way the animal is already dead, but like I said it is personally opinion. I would say no. If you are married than obviously they don't have a huge problem with you NOT being vegetarian.

You don't HAVE to, but it will be very difficult. Restaurant choices will be limited, as will what you cook at home. I know a few couples that are one veg one omni. However, if they are veg because they believe killing animals is wrong, you might have a problem.

No, you just have to respect each others choices and decide early on how you'll handle any children.

Restaurant choices won't be limited. I go out to eat with my family and friends all the time and never have a problem finding something to eat.

To change according to who you marry is a huge mistake. No. Don't change just for marriage. If it is a problem between the two of you, you need to work it out before you marry, though, or it will beome an even worse problem.

If you marry a doctor do you have to become a doctor too? If you marry a smoker do you have to smoke too? Seriously? You have to ask?

No, just don't expect your partner to cook you a steak :P
