Sorry for your loss, but anyone who thinks that being a vegan makes you a better person has a lot more going on inside that you don't want to deal with long term.

Have someone in your life who's not judgmental - male or female - and who you consider wise and an authentic listener?
Maybe contact them to share your thoughts and pain. An ordeal like this is simple but painful.
Best,

Good riddance !! Now go out and find yourself a good meat eating horny babe!! How come all these insecure chick want to control everything ??
You are by far better off!!!

Find a girl/
with far-away eyes.

Eh, she's not a bad person, but neither are you.

My wife said ''No drinking'' before we were married, and I had no problem with that. But I didn't drink anyway. You got on the boat, and now you are getting off of it.

Don't settle for anything less than the best. In the meantime, enjoy being single. I know I would...

Find a Mainland Chinese woman. They have bodies like vegans, but will eat anything with four legs except furniture. And they couldn't care less what you eat, as long as you share it if they're hungry.

gold!

Sorry to hear of your break up but you've done the right thing.
This was just the tip of the iceberg.


Oh......and if we weren't supposed to eat animals why are they made out of meat?

I don't think I could hate lentil soup more...

Just don't let their parents move in with you.;)

Compromise on both sides is a part of any healthy relationship, and apparently your ex-gf isn't aware of this concept

But we're only getting one side of the story.

The rock star speaks the truth. Sorry you feel terrible right now. But everyone's got their priorities in life (within reason). She ranks a vegan lifestyle higher than she does you.

Mike sorry that you have lost a loved one in your life,
she was here to teach you certain things,
now its time for you to find another opportunity,
for you to learn whatever the lessons are that you need to learn.

Remember that you were also here to teach her things that she needed to learn.
Maybe she will realize making ultimatums isnt the best way for a partnership,
anyway thats her path.

You will see in a year maybe two that this woman was kind and nurturing in her own way.

Hopefully you will find the good that she brought to your life and use what you have learned .

When my last Fiance left I was crushed, soon after that happened new things came to my life.

After a while, I began to see that this woman had to leave for me to learn and grow .
Otherwise I would have had no reason to care enough to look.

Even though I really loved her I didnt care at the time, enough about a relationship.

I had many new things to learn, it only took me 48 years to get here.

Now I see the goodness that her leaving me has brought.

Hopefully you will also get to this place and realize the perfect place you now have.

Goodluck on your path, Its a wonderful life!

Who knows, maybe a good thing - she's probably a lesbo or guessing she didn't like your meat. You got the furrari so go get some new and have fun.

It certainly sounds like the relationship was more important to you than to her. Sure it sucks right now, but tomorrow is another day. You had a lot of time and emotion invested, it will take a little time to get over it, but you will, I guarantee it.
That is because she is. While being a vegan is a valid choice for an adult, it is quite simply not healthy for a growing person, particularly a young woman.

My wife was a vegetarian when I met her. She didn't care that I ate meat. Eventually she felt she had some health issues related to not eating meat and reluctantly added it back in her diet and has never looked back.

Differences can be a wedge in a relationship or they can bring you together. My wife and I are two very different people who share the same life. The "must find someone just like me" attitude would be hard to deal with.

This was in our wedding:

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Embraer,

It took a few posts until someone already mentioned my point of view on this: Veganism is a form of religion. If you are not compatible in religion, your relationship will not work out. If you are an atheist and you are in a relationship with a devout christian, they will continuously try to convert you to save you from hell. They actually believe it, so I'd give them credit for that. Same with veganism, your lady may have really thought this is the best for you. But it is not what you strongly believe, so it will never work out.

I have your blood pressure or better and eat meat almost daily. I also have muscles and children in the 95th percentile in growth and athleticism. Animal protein is an absolute must for kids IMHO - at least dairy and eggs.

Speaking of children - quite possibly you may never have had any with this lady. I know of more than one woman that become infertile due to vegan or poor diet / eating disorders.

So, look ahead and not back. Online dating can be a success. You can get the basic compatibility out of the picture: religion, smoking, drinking, tattoos, career, family plans etc. I would seriously give that a shot once you recovered from the funk.

My great-aunt used to say "Women are like trains - you may miss a train, but there will always be the next one to catch".

Good Luck!

Sorry you're hurting, dude. I can tell by the way you're not bothering with capitalization much that it's deep. Hang in there... it takes time.

Heh heh. Following your lead, this one is probably a better healer... if the ad appears kill it in 5 seconds...
