[quote=Anonymous]I think the meat eaters berating the vegan wife for being difficult and her poor husband for buying his chili meat at whole foods are being aholes (but I do agree on turkey carpaccio, like wtf are you sure that is what he made because you shouldn't let your kid eat undercooked poultry). You guys are being ridiculous, she could totally be in a happy marriage with a guy who is a foodie who doesn't mind cooking her extra meals. Just because that guy exists doesn't mean that guy is you.

But to you happily married vegan wife. It actually IS annoying to have to be cooking two meals a lot of the time. And for me, as the chef in my family, I would be bummed out if most of the time I was only cooking for one. Sure I'd like to try some awesome vegan restaurant or dish, but I wouldn't want that every night or even semi regularly. Eating is a big part of a lot of cultures and a big part of a lot of people's days. I too would not want to date a vegan because it would be really difficult. I wouldn't mind a vegetarian as much but even that would be a big adjustment. It sounds like your husband is the chef at your house, he takes on a significant burden that most people handling daily meals for a family don't have to take on for you.

It is fine to not want to date vegans for the same reason you might not want to date a musician or a truck driver or someone in the military. Their lives require certain sacrifices of their partners. Some people think those sacrifices are NBD, some think they are too much. It is fine to be in either group. One group doesn't have to be 'wrong' or 'evil' when we're talking about choosing romantic partners. [/quote]
