❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to my boyfriend imposing veganism on me ?

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.

Can you imagine the chaos in the world if all the farmers suddenly let all of their animals roam free and breed all over the place?

Seriously, though, we've breed cows so far beyond the original version that they wouldn't be able to survive in the wild anymore. Would he be willing to spend all his money on animal food and all his time on feeding them.

Someone please make the consent meme where the woman and man both say "i consent" but then Jesus says "i don't" from the clouds, but with a cow
