Okay I have deleted my original thread because for one I don't really know where I stand as far as myself being a vegetarian. I know that meat grosses me out but this is all very new to me. Morals? I am not sacrificing any of my morals for him. I don't not eat meat for the animals, I do it because it is just gross. Some people are extremely selfish and I am not one of those people. I would rather see him smile then make him feel bad because of something I am not sure of. My husband was not aware of how serious I am about the meat thing. He simply thinks that I can't eat it every now and then. He can be unboservant I will admit to that but he was doing something that he thought I would like. It doesn't make him a bad person. Thank you for your replies but I think that I shouldn't have brought this subject matter up. I hope you all have a great day. Thank you. jules
I can't believe you would compromise your morals beacuse your husband is making you an anniversary dinner. Yes, that's something to celebrate, but he should realize that it is an inappropriate meal to prepare for a vegetarian. You should not feel obligated to eat animal flesh, and then act as if it's no big deal and that you enjoyed it. He'll realize you aren't serious, and will continue these behaviors. What about another anniversary or a holiday or another special event.. will you compromise your morals as well on those days to please him??.. you realize that if that time you'd refuse to, he'd remind you that THIS time, you had no problem with it. Quite frankly, I would be more concerned with how hurt I'd be feeling that he'd want to prepare something I was no longer choosing to eat, rather than hurting him because you're simply writing about this. In the end, it's your decision, of course...
Your husband must be incredibly unobservant if he doesn't know you don't eat meat. Sorry, but it doesn't sound like he put any thought into this at all.
does sound like he's trying, dont be too hard on the guy , the idea of meat is gross and it would be a little emabarassing even if we should meet some advanced peoples. Myself I have to eat meet or i would starve!! happy aniversery Jules
