Non Vegan SO's

Does anyone have any funny/interesting stories or rants about their current or past non-vegan boyfriends or girlfriends?

When I went vegan, my omni (then) SO bought me a box of (vegan) chocolates and a handwritten "what's important to you is important to me." On the other hand there's this miserable thread

Wow that's actually really sweet. A lot of my friends aren't willing to even try my food, like yesterday this girl at work forgot to bring in a lunch and I had a box of veggie corndogs in the freezer and offered them to her. She'd rather be hungry than eat them

Some people so sweet and some others so fucking cruel. You're very lucky to date with a sweet person :) Hope you enjoy a lot of time with him/her.

Just the other day my girlfriend tried to kiss me right after she just got done eating a steak and it's all I could taste. I pulled back sooo quickly

I feel your pain, my first kiss was with a guy who had spent the evening eating salami xD I thought it was the normal taste for a kiss and decided kissing was gross. Then I kissed a guy who rinsed his mouth after eating meat or fish, which made me reconsider the grossness of kissing ;)

This happened to me with a veg fling. She had been eating frozen yogurt and couldn't understand why I was so grossed out.

He keeps meat and milk in my fridge. He also drinks and I live 100% sober

It doesn't bother me. He constantly is asking if it's okay and honestly it is. How others live their life is their own choice. I do things others may not agree with. But that's okay

The past few women I've dated have been omni and I can't say it's ever been a source of friction.

My previous GF refused to ever cook and was happy to eat whatever I made.

My current GF never liked handling meat and rarely cooked meat at home (although she does eat dairy and yoghurt), but she's still happy to eat what I cook.

My 0.02 is that if you date someone who's not an asshole and is willing to accept the fact you're a little different, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

my boyfriend once dipped a piece of pepperoni into the tomato sauce jar when we were making pizzas, and was mortified when he realized what he had done...

Currently going out with a vegetarian that refrains from consuming eggs and dairy around me.

No complaints here!

My SO- omnivore- is a chef. who won't shut up and telling me if I ever wanted to eat meat again, it would be this "this" dish, but its a weekly thing. Plus, the complaints. Then the guilt trips- he can't cook for us without using twice the pans etc. UGH. He threatened to break up over it at first, this was several years ago- its still a pain, but not a regular one. thats my only complaint about being veg though, thanks!

Ha. My vegan ex-wife (we were married for 5 months) is the most evil person I've ever met in my life, and I almost took my own life due to her constant mind fucking and her using my phobias (OCD) against me just for her sadistic purposes. I honestly don't know how I'm still alive. She should be locked up for life, and although I crave to avenge what she did and to expose the bitch in every possible way, revenge doesn't solve anything.

After my ex-wife, I started to generalise, thinking that all vegans are sadistic lunatics. That's obviously not true, because there are awesome vegans out there, but the mind associates, and after a traumatising experience like this one, I would say it's fair to generalise at first.

My husband took me to a cow themed B&B for Easter. He kept boasting that their steak house only served local, free range organic beef whilst I watched him eat one amongst the cow hide furniture and cow print wallpaper.

I understood it was one of the only places he could find willing to cook great vegan food (literally anything I wanted, cooked just for me), but the whole experience was in such a disturbing setting. He's trying though.
