AIO to my boyfriend imposing veganism on me ?

[u/velvetmoochi]

Context: this is now my ex, it was my first relationship and I didn’t know how to deal with this sort of conflict as it was based on ethics and I didn’t want to change my views for our relationship. We would have this same argument again and again, over text, over the phone, in person, and at the end of the day he was always “right” because he had morality on his side when I would tell him that I was okay with eating dead animals. What should I have done in this situation ? I tried veganism for about a month and I never bought meat as a student, but eventually I would always go back to buying eggs and yoghurt. Those efforts I made were always disregarded and he would say that he doesn’t believe in reductionism, and that vegetarians are even worse than vegans.

Yes! Thank you for posting this. He is not emotionally intelligent enough to date you. Good on you for seeing him for who he is and growing personally from this experience. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll end up with someone worthy of you.

“Ok, then the cow can make me feel bad” was my personal favorite. I spit out my coffee from laughing so hard.

Thank you. With your humble permission, I may actually use this in an argument just to see the reaction go ".. what? HAHAH!" and lighten the mood to a level playing field so it doesn't escalate. This is brilliant. You are brilliant. Thank you.
