I'm vegan and the guy I'm seeing eats meat. I feel that it's a personal decision and you can't shut out those who don't share your views because you'd be shutting out most of the world. Having said that, I do feel weird kissing him after he has eaten meat or animal products.
When I went vegetarian my partner ate meat and I was ok with it at first but then as I moved towards being vegan I realised I couldn't be with someone who does the opposite to what I am so passionate about.
My partner then went vegetarian and is slowly making the progression to being vegan. We are learning together and helping each other and I think that has brought us so close.
I have so much respect and love for him for making the decision to cut out meat. And i now know with the stage I'm at I could never be with a meat eater.

My partner went vegetarian when I went vegan. He's eating less & less dairy products & lollies now. I'm about to challenge him to go 801010 as I eat 801010 raw vegan except for dinner which is cooked (I make raw dinners when I can).
I don't think I could date an omni, it's against my beliefs.
I'm a vegetarian...transitioning to vegan and i'm married to a carnivore. He supports me and my beliefs at home he eats what I eat, we rarely go out but when we do he will order what he wants. We may not share the same beliefs but due to my beliefs he eats a vegetarian diet most of the time. It may not be a preference but i have opened up a different world to him and in the process less animals are being killed...
How do you approach it if he wants to kiss you after he has eaten meat?
Do You refuse?? I am really not sure how to approach it as my boyfriend is a meat eater and I dont like being kissed after he has eaten mean....How do you approach it??
I'm vegetarian and my boyfriend is omni. I know he's not interested in changing right now, maybe not at all. But he supports me and will eat my food, and always makes sure if we go out that I have options.
As for approching it when he tries to kiss me, I just say I can't and that it tastes like meat. Usually after he eats it he won't try (neither of us like to kiss after just swallowing a mouthful of food anyway lol). Sometimes he kisses me and I can taste it, and I just say I can't stand the taste and he laughs. If he's desperate he'll brush his teeth :p
Well i beleave if your so against eating meat... Then being with a meat eater is saying that you support that... Think of it as though if you bought a suitable for vegan product and the company that produced it treats animals unethically... (For example vegan makeup but yet the company still test on animals...) then if you are a true vegan you still wouldn't support that company right...! Well it's the same thing...! I also beleave that when choosing a partner... It is their morals that you MUST support otherwise yes you are a contradiction! Just another example - a murder... You could say your against it, but if you stayed with one that says you support that action... Would you stay with one?? No! well again it's the same thing right, if you stay with a meat eater then it's pritty much saying you support it and it doesn't actually bother you that he/she eats meat so what exactly do you believe and support... What made you want to be vegan? And please also take into consideration that obviously you posted this up to see how others view it as you are unsure on what you should do... Just remember just because other people think it is ok doesn't mean it is... Hence what veganisum is all about, other people think its ok to eat meat and make excuses for their eating it, but vegans (true vegans) beleave it is wrong... Like myself... And some vegans make excuses for dating one... I personally don't even have friends that are meat eaters... Because I'm against it... And I beleave that even being friends with someone like that support immoral actions... If their is a personality trait that some people have that you don't like (eg lier or theif or maybe even they talk trash about people) then would you remain friend with that person... Well same thing! Hope this helps you decide... And remember while it is a good idea to take everyone's opinion into consideration inorder to help make your decision but at the end of the day it is your decision, please don't make your decision lightly it is not like picking out a dress to wear... This is animals lives we are talking about! Goodluck and hope to hear what you decide.
