If you’re vegetarian but DH isn’t, do you cook him meat?

YANBU. I’m a meat eater and I think it’s totally reasonable what you are doing. If he wants something specific he can cook it himself or take an hour on the weekend to batch cook something you just have to heat through. Or buy precooked meat to chuck into a dish.

My sister is vegan and her husband isn’t and friend vegetarian and her husband isn’t and neither of them object to them cooking meat or fish but don’t cook it for them. Vegetarian will put stuff in the oven as you say but no more.

I'm veggie and dh isn't. He works mon-fri and has weekends off so he will sometimes do a sunday roast or a fry up for himself at weekends if he really wants meat. Most weeknights I just cook something like pasta or veggie chilli.

However, I do have do deal with packets of smelly ham to make my child a lunchbox as he won't eat cheese sandwiches. The smell when you open a packet of ham 🤢

Absolutely not. He's an exH now but he happily ate veggie meals at home but would have cooked meat for sandwiches. I've been veggie for over 30 years and meat repulses me. I'm happily single but I think if I ever dated again then I'd have to date another veggie.

Same.

I'm vegan and luckily so is my DH. But in the past I've had relationships with meat eaters and I would not cook meat for them EVER, not even crack an egg or put a chicken nugget in the oven (so you are doing more than I would by cooking meaty ready made oven things etc). He should respect your choice, if he's that bothered he can cook himself meat.

Yup.

Lifelong vegetarian here, I never discuss it, I never criticize other people's food choices.
I also never cook meat for anyone, ever.

I'm vegetarian because I don't want to kill animals. I don't eat animal products, I don't cook animals and I don't have meat in the house.

DD is but her DP is not, they take it in turns to cook and he has meat most nights and whoever is cooking that night just cooks it separately and puts it on the her DPs plate.

No, I cook vegan. Most often we eat together, the same thing. If he wants meat he cooks for us (and does 2 versions) or cooks the meat separately and adds it to the dish I made. He wouldn't ever want me to cook meat for him and I appreciate that.

No. I wouldn’t even contemplate cooking meat for a non-vegetarian family member. Eating meat isn’t a matter of ‘not liking the taste’, it’s an ethical position.

I'm veggie and I do cook meat for the rest of the family BUT by the time I turned veggie my kids were all too old to expect them to convert with me. Therefore in my particular circumstances it would feel unfair to suddenly make DH responsible for all family meals that involved meat.
In your circumstances op I don't think I'd be cooking meat either.

I don't have a husband. But my adult DD is veggie. I cook veggie when she's with me and I cook meat when she's not. When I go out I normally go for the meatiest thing on the menu. I do miss it.

I am vegan and no meat is cooked in my home by me or anyone else.

My partner can cook vegetarian at home for himself, but I ask no raw meat etc in my fridge.

The only time he eats meat at home is a takeaway. That way no cooking or washing up or meat in my fridge etc.

I am a very good cook, so this genuinely works for both of us. If I cook he gets a homemade delicious vegan dinner. If he cooks for himself he gets something like pasta and pesto or a jacket and cheese which is about the extent of his cooking skills anyway!

DP moved into my home which was previously all vegan, this was the situation we designed to work for us.

I’m vegan and DH isn’t. He actually does all the cooking as I do everything else (I work less hours). He makes amazing vegan food that he really enjoys too. He will eat meat at a restaurant though. He def does not expect me to cook meat for him and I wouldn’t.

My ex was vegetarian, we only had veggie meals at home. I didn't realise how awful it was for me until we broke up. I found it really hard never having a meal at home that was "my choice" or my preference. Yes I could have meat out of the house or for lunch, but 7 days a week to never have the dinner I enjoyed for 6 years was just shitty.

When we split up I started to enjoy food again, and cooking, and I lost weight and had more energy.

I'm not saying you should cook meat, but maybe look at where is is low imposition to include it, steak strips he can add in sir-fry, or a handful of prawns to finish a dish. Or even veggie dinners but a little parma ham to start.

For those saying veggie dinners aren't a problem, I agree on occasion, but it is bloody awful day in day out knowing you are never getting to have the meal you really enjoy.

If I was happy to have meat in the house and cook some of it, I think that I would just do it for him most days. I don't see the difference between frying a steak and frying some chicken for example. Or grilling a chop. Seems unfair that he's going to have to cook his own dinner whilst also being the only one who works.

I'm vegetarian. DS and DH are not.

I will cook them meat as long as it's in something (so like a pie or a sausage roll / fish finger / nugget or a pasta or ready meal) but I draw the line at slabs of raw steak, pork and the like. DH cooks those.

Even then though I'd say they have 3 meat free meals a week on average and everyone is happy to have them.

I'm vegetarian, husband isn't. He does all the cooking and happily makes me a meat free version of whatever we're having.

I’ll do fish or chicken in the oven. I’ve tried stove top and beef but I can’t handle the smell or the mess. I probably wouldn’t do any, but DS1 has a soy intolerance and DS2 has a dairy issue

I was a vegetarian when I got married. I didn't cook meat for my husband, but I didn't object to him cooking it for himself or having it in the house. He mostly ate vegetarian at home unless we got takeout.

I'm lifelong veggie , DH is not. I just can't have meat in the house and DH is ok with that. He eats meat/fish at work and out. It's a big compromise for him and I appreciate that, but I would be very upset having meat our home.

I think you either cook the meat or he cooks for himself?

I'm vegetarian and DH isn't. I do all the cooking because I enjoy it. DH eats 90% vegetarian food and he's happy with this. Well he has to be! He's not one of those men who thinks they need to eat meat all the time. He really enjoys my vegetarian food. About once a week I'll cook him meat. I often just put some chicken thighs and drumsticks in the oven and then there's enough to last a couple of days. He'll have it on the side of whatever vegetarian dish I'm eating. I also cook a creamy pasta and chicken dish which DH and the kids enjoy. This is quick to cook and I don't feel like I smell of meat afterwards. Sometimes I'll do a roast chicken. Very occasionally I might make a moussaka or something, usually only if we have guests.
I don't really like handling meat but the stuff cook involves minimal handling.

In your position I would do a big batch cook and freeze individual portions that can be added to stuff once or twice a week. So massive pot of mince, easy enough to turn into pasta ragu or chilli or cottage pie. Basic shredded chicken, fish pie base etc.

I think if your household duties are split so that you cook, it is nice to cater to his dietary preferences but equally you would only need do that every month or so. I wouldn't want to feed my other half ready meals and processed oven stuff all the time as I'd worry about long term health.
