Hi everyone!
I was vegetarian for years before I met my partner (now Husband) and transitioned to being Vegan for about 6 months. He was never against me being vegan or vegetarian but he wouldn’t even consider adding in a few plant-based meals. Slowly, over the next year or so I started eating more non-vegan products until I ended up eating almost everything he did! I know he never encouraged me to do this it just became easier to go along with him!
Anyway, I’ve had enough of feeling awful (emotionally and physically)! I’ve recently gone back to being fully vegan and we’ll just have to figure it out as a family! Does anyone have any advice for transition when you do almost all the cooking but partner won’t eat plant-based more than once or twice a week? This was the reason I stopped being vegan before.
Also, we have a 1 year old daughter and I know I don’t want her to eat meat either, but there is no way my husband would agree to this! Two other babies in her nursery are vegan and my partner just found this absolutely insane! He’s just completely convinced that meat is essential for babies and children! Should I just keep trying to discuss it with him or think about it more when she’s a little older?
Thanks for reading all of this! TIA for any responses!
