Let’s review what he says, and then I will make a judgment. Here’s the post:
You are absolutely not the a-hole.
The vegan here is the a-hole — which tends to always be the case. They’re very demanding. They decide they want to live a certain lifestyle, then it becomes a cult, and they try to force everybody to go along with it — especially those closest to them.
GF was a vegetarian when we started dating and is now completely vegan with no exceptions.
I am very meat conscious, and only eat it on holidays. I try to avoid animal products in general because of my GF, but personally have no problem with eating locally sourced/humane animal products including meat. I also eat eggs daily from my backyard chickens and butter for cooking. GF and I used to rotate cooking meals. GF now refuses to eat the meals I prepare because I use butter in most of my recipes.
I told her if she didn’t like what I made she doesn’t have to eat it, but I feel like I compromised a lot in order to satisfy her lifestyle, and it’s not fair for her to expect me to make completely vegan meals.
She says I am not respecting her choice to be vegan. She says she can’t make me vegan, but the least i could do is prepare vegan meals. I told her that I sacrificed eating lot’s of animal products i enjoy to respect her, while she hasn’t done anything for me. Such as eating my dishes were the only animal product is butter.
I told her I am making meals with no meat, no eggs, but I don’t like the vegan substitute for butter when I make my creamy dishes. such as pot pie (with fake chicken). I am trying to accommodate but it feels like i’m the only one giving anything up
AITA?
