| If this is so important, you can always decide for yourself which one is more important to you - being vegan or having a relationship. |

I think it is okay and I have seen for myself couples whose relationships are quite normal even though one of the partners is vegan and the other isn't. I think the most important things in these kinds of relationships are open-communication, understanding and respect. Without these virtues it will be very hard to maintain this kind of relationship.

I'm in a mixed relationship. Its good that I get to study the situation, but I do not rest easy in the situation. When we're separate I seem to move in to my truer self. She fasted a bit one day last week, and we drank some beer, and the spirit was nice. Perhaps its to keep me from hanging around the house all day. I do not like to sleep with her because of the energy. I wake up at war. It seems a marriage made in heaven.

Just figured out I'm not vegan if the female of the species isn't, so we'll be seeing y'all!

I have problems with this kind of relationships... I don't want to spend my money for sponsoring butchers and my girlfriends usually don't get it... so I end up splitting apart. Tried to convert my last girlfriend and it turned into a disaster... Sad story actually...

| Similar to trying to convince your girlfriend to become anorexic, since veganism and vegetarianism are basically the deprivation of entire food groups at a time......... |

Or to convince your girlfriend to not smoke, although while smoking you're mostly damaging yourself, and sometimes when you do not care you're damaging people around you, but when you're eating meat you always directly supporting killing of innocent animals, i.e. causing of more suffering than on vegan diet. |

| Eating meat is normal, in case you have not noticed in the time you have lived on this Earth. |

Slavery was also normal some time ago, now it's illegal. |

| That's just how it is! You guys are so dumb.PEOPLE EAT MEAT. Get it into your "I-wanna-be-different" heads. Why can't you just be normal like everyone else? There is nothing wrong with eating meat. Meat is animals, and people just eat animals. That's what they do. You don't need to ask "why" for everything. Things are the way they are because that's how it is. That's how it always has been. You think you can change the whole world with some crazy idea. |

Nice, MomoPreach, nice! So in one of your previous lifes you were saying something like:
"That's just how it is! You guys are so dumb. PEOPLE OWN SLAVES Get it into your "I-wanna-be-different" heads. Why can't you just be normal like everyone else? There is nothing wrong with owning slaves. Slaves are black and stupid, and people just own them. That's what they do. You don't need to ask "why" for everything. Things are the way they are because that's how it is. That's how it always has been. You think you can change the whole world with some crazy idea. "
