[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it matters. Cook separately. Problem solved. [/quote]

Seems impractical.  How does this work if OP (eventually) has a family?

I'm an omnivore married to a longtime vegetarian. He is lucky that he happens to be a wonderful person, because take it from me: it is SUPER annoying (not always, because I enjoy many vegetarian meals, but often) to have to work around my spouse's diet as well as my kids' pickiness. I got so fed up at one point that I was close to telling him he had to try fish or SOMETHING to expand the slate of meals we could both eat.

Interesting. I’m a vegetarian DW and do most of the cooking. I make tons of vegetarian dishes (that they love) but my DH and kids are total carnivores so I regularly have meat on the side - grilled chicken, sausage, meatballs, etc. I also cook meat dishes for them and adapt it for myself — so if they are eating sloppy joes, I eat a veggie burger, or if they are eating a chicken dish I’ll have some marinated tofu in the fridge that I’ll substitute. It’s been a non-issue, but maybe I’m more flexible than your DH? I will admit I don’t make things like pot roast, rubs, brisket, etc. - it’s always just chicken or ground beef, which they love but might be boring to most - I’m just much better at cooking vegetarian than meat and my family doesn’t much care, thankfully.
