Could you fall in love with a meat eater? Or a vegetarian?
I married a man who has mad vacuuming skills and voluntarily scrubs down the bathtub, but who has no interest in cooking. In return for having all of his dinners cooked for him, he eats without complaint and particularly likes it when I cook something new and strange. It’s fun to cook for someone who will try anything, even the mostly vegetarian meals I’ve been trying out lately (though whether I threw a sirloin down in front of him, I think it would go by equally well).
So when I read that commentary from the NYT about food standing in the way of love, I had a tough duration relating. A lot of the dietary changes I’ve made personally are for ethical reasons, but I can’t assume those choices causing a rift amoung my spouse and myself. possibly I’m just not built to be hardcore, but it just seems like there are more critical things
On the other hand, we’ve been together for 10 years now. whether I was a vegetarian or vegan and found new love with a habitual meat eater, would it give me pause? I guess I can’t reply that question. What about you? Do you give a person’s eating habits weight when considering a relationship with them?
