Should I cook my hubby meat?
Answered 3 years ago
Hey I've recently decided to become a veggie, mainly for enviromental reasons. My hubby isn't really a fan of this and he wants me to still cook him meat. I am a SAHM to our 18 month daughter and he works so I do all the cooking. He says even if I don't eat meat I should still add meat to the food after but this is a lot of extra work and also I don't want to be using it as it defeats the purpose of me not eating it. I've said he can cook his own meat if he wants it but he doesn't like veggie food and he gets home late every night. He says I am being hypocritical as I have eaten it most of my life and also I do feel bad about this a bit as I am kinda forcing a major lifestyle change on him. He also says since I am staying at home and agreed to cook I should cook what he wants. Am I being unreasonable? Should I just cook him meat
Have an answer?

I became vego 5 years ago
Vegan 4 years
I always added hubbies meat he ate veto once or twice a week (with Dahl or curries)
He said he would never be vego
A year ago he went completely vegan in a week.
Now he eats fish once a week or fortnight but that’s all.
No dairy no meat. Just fish his friend catches.
You’ve been a meat eater. You shouldn’t expect to impose it on him.
He’s your hubby , compromise.
I know a fair few vegans married to meat eaters and they all compromise in the own way.
One of them won’t cook hubbies meat at all but totally respect his choices.
The ones who weren’t respectful ended up the worst off.

You married a meat eater and trying to force change is not going to work. Over time he might see your delicious vegetarian meals and change his mind :)
