How would moving in with a non beef eater work for you?

My ex was a Hindu vegetarian. I don't eat a lot of red meat anyway so didn't mind not eating beef at home. I mainly ate chicken and fish at home and might get a steak or beefburger when out. If it's not a religious thing then I don't really get the issue if you want to eat beef at home. I guess it depends how much you like it!

Why?? I don't get this at all?? He loves his dog enough to get it something that it enjoys. It has no bearing on what he likes to eat.

Why don't you just ask him?

Plenty of vegetarians (and even vegans) have pet cats and dogs they feed meat. Plenty of omnivores feed their pets things they’re squeamish about eating themselves like rabbit and game. I collect snails for my ducks, but haven’t fancied a nibble on a snail yet. It’s a total non issue.

Eh? I'm not seeing a problem.

"But he’s going off lamb and pork as well recently for ethical reasons." makes him sound lovely and compassionate. I'd be tempted to let myself be inspired to follow suite if he was my partner. Meat is dreadful for the climate, and the suffering endured by many farmed animals considerable. Your BF sounds like a beautiful peach and he definitely occupies the moral high-ground.

Its good not to eat beef

Feels like you're making unnecessarily heavy weather of this. He doesn't seem to care if you eat it. In fact he's used to his family members eating it. Stop trying to find an issue when there doesn't appear to be one. I mean, what do you want him to do, start eating beef for your sake?

Sorry but you sound resentful and I think you need to talk to him about his eating inconsistencies if you have an issue with it. But to be honest every couple has to deal with the other’s eating habits/rules changing when they move in together. It’s never going to just be the same forever, you will just have to adapt.

It sounds like your issue isn't that your worried that you can't have beef, it's the fact that he doesn't want to eat it. The more you post it actually sounds like you want to find a way to persuade or pressure him to eat beef. Why?
It makes no sense why your so obsessed with what he and/or some of his family are eating. Either respect his stance on this and eat your beef alone or just don't move in together. It's really as simple as that!

I'm not sure if you are looking for an excuse to end the relationship or you're so controlling that you want him to eat beef for your convenience.

What his parents or siblings do has got nothing to do with you.

He's placing no restrictions on you so I don't know why you are so bothered.

He's not eaten beef since he was a child, so he's not likely to suddenly crave it now. He's eaten pork and lamb so if he's 'working on' cutting it out, he's not cut it out completely and will still likely crave it since he remembers what it tastes like.

It's really not a big deal. At all. His family being 'inconsistent' is none of your business.

But that's his preference.

How does it affect you if he toys with the idea of cutting down on pork but then has a bacon sandwich?

Just get on and eat what you want and stop worrying about what he is or isn't eating!

You're being weird. Even if it's not for religious reasons he can choose whether or not to want to eat a particular thing. If you want to eat it, he's not stopping you so I don't get your issue. I'm veggie and DH isn't. It works.

Honestly, this is such a non problem...

My partner doesn't eat seafood because he thinks its gross. I do. No problem.

One of my best friends is a Muslim. He's quite happy to sit in the pub with me and have a Pepsi max while I have a pint and pork scratchings. No problem.

My partner loves carrots. I don't. Can't stand them. But they live quite happily in the fridge with the stuff I do eat. No problem.

Your boyfriend doesn't eat beef but has absolutely no issue at all with you eating it and some of his family also eat it. No problem.

Is this a reverse?

You feeling obliged is a you problem.

you haven’t said anything that indicates he cares on any way what you eat.

i’m vegan and I don’t care what other people eat.

You’re being weird. Nobody’s obliging you to do or not do anything.

OP this definitely sounds like a "YOU" problem.

Ps. Good luck in your new home together, sure you will work it out.

How often would you eat beef on an average week anyway ? WHO and BHF recommend I think no more than twice a week.

You don’t need to sacrifice. I don’t eat pork but exes who did did not quit. He knows what he is getting into dating you. If it does not bother him
It should not bother you.

He doesn’t care and hasn’t asked you to. Where’s the obligation? I don’t eat pork because whilst I’m atheist, and don’t actually believe there’s anything specifically dirty about pigs, I’m Jewish, and I have whatever cultural conditioning that leaves you with. I imagine your boyfriend has the same in relation to beef.

DH and I often cook and eat separate meals, simply because we often don’t want to eat the same things. It’s never been an issue whatsoever. You don’t have to intertwine every aspect of your life with somebody else’s just because you’re in a relationship.

Just don’t eat beef at home, have it when out?

It’s pretty easy to avoid.
