    I’m vegan (24 years) and my wife is not. That doesn’t bother me, but I couldn’t handle it if she was religious.

      I find it so cool that you’ve been vegan for 24 years, as a younger vegan (7 years) I thank you for suffering through groceries with one brand of soy milk and maybe some tofu (if you’re lucky) so that we can live in this world were I have access to vegan fudgesicles at the local grocery store.

      I’m curious though, because veganism has definitely been a point of contention in my past few relationships; how do you and your wife manage meals? Do you do separate meals, or is it more of a “she’s vegan at home” type situation?

        For sure being vegan has gotten a lot easier since I started. At home, I’m very lucky that she does most of the cooking. Sometimes she eats what she makes for me, other times she makes herself something separate. I wash the dishes to my own standards, so I don’t worry about “contamination” except for a few things: cutting board, frying pan.

        Being (or being with) a vegan can be super inconvenient at times. After all these years (married for 21), we are super well-adjusted to it.

            Sounds pretty inconsiderate of the meat eater to force the rest to handle corpses instead of just eat their meal

              Actually, the meat eater did all the cooking and was very considerate with everyone’s wishes :-)
