Vegetarian boyfriend is driving me nuts

[InbetweenDreams]

If as you say, it affects every aspect of your relationship it does rather seem that you are not really compatible. You certainly need to have a long and deep discussion with him.

That's my concern, and probably ultimately true but I figure they at least try before they break it off.

I forgot to sat that your headline "Vegetarian boyfriend is driving me nuts" is unintentionally very funny. Have you tried nutloaf?

I haven't tried it, maybe he has but looks like a good recipe!

I was a vegetarian for awhile and oddly enough it was a militant vegetarian who drove me to eat meat again....lecturing me about what I should and shouldn't do....

I don't like anyone who is militant about anything. I block all the posts on Facebook that shove one opinion about something down my throat......so fucking invasive and rude...like who the fuck do they think they are having no respect for other people?

I have been in a 30+ year relationship..a good one..but these things DO come up...it is part of any relationship..and you have to address it now in a serious manner rather than letting it boil over....

Communication is a skill that always needs practice and needs to be sharpened ....and compromise is an essential part of ANY relationship...so...

Tell him how serious this is becoming for you and you cannot live this way for much longer. Look him directly in the eyes..hold his hand if you have to....make sure he understands that compromise is ESSENTIAL and what you need to is eat meat and not be hassled...and then ask him what he actually needs...

Maybe it is the brushing of the teeth...not a bad compromise really if the smell actually gets to him.....but that isn't my compromise or decision to make...

Good luck to both of you!
