Hello everyone
The topic of this post started with a couple discussion
My bf and I have been together for 2 years, he knows I am vegan and so far he respect it, I am also very aware og he being non-vegan, whichI also respect. In general, we both don't have a problem at all with out different eating style. I always feel like I can talk to him and share my opinions about the meat industries cuz he will always listen to and also have something to say about it, he doesnt agree with the cruelty of animals, but still he wont quit eating meat, "at least not for now", he said. In other worlds he is consciously and aware of where the food comes from and the horrific life this animals have, also knows about the hormones this are giving and passe also to his body. That's fine. He knows....and for all this times he has been eating meat at home, with friends, and no eating, meat at all when he is with me.
What bothers me is, he went to buy food at McDonalds for the first time in a very loooooong time. I was very confused when he told me, I asked him why he did it, and why now make that decision and support such a horrible company. He is very aware of how bad McDonalds is, and still he bought food from there. It's the first time in y life with him, that I was very upset about his food choices, I have never ever tried to put anything on him. but this time I could not stop myself from being upset about he giving his money for such a crappy food, when he could eat home something better.
He got very mad at me, and accused me of putting my life choices upon him. And I have never ever done that before, first time I did it and he went all crazy about I was being disrespectful and gave me the chat about how he makes his own life choices, which I know he can, BUT really McDonalds?!! -_-
I dont know how to deal with this kind of problems, I never had to deal with before. What could you have done in my place? any comments will be appreciate. How I can accept this, I though he knows how bad this is for him, and other people. Still I love him...and I want the best for him.. and animals ofc.
