Eating beef in the house

Right.

I'm more than able of articulating what I do and don't agree with from a philosophical, cultural, practical, religious and other perspectives but I just can't be arsed.

Nice attempt at an insult. I'll take it to mean that you still aren't able to articulate what you disagree with.

Do you live in your mum's basement by any chance?
You sound like an algorithm stuck in a loop.

He doesn’t want to eat off plates or with cutlery that have had beef on them. That seems reasonable to me. It’s a deeply ingrained cultural issue for him, whatever his spiritual beliefs.

Just be a grown up about it, if you’re going to eat beef in your own home, which is your right, have separate plates and utensils from each other.

It's perfectly reasonable to disagree if you can actually articulate which bit of my argument they don't agree with, but if you just say that you disagree without being able to explain why, then I will conclude that you just didn't understand the point.

Saying that people don't understand when we simply disagree.

What is just my opinion? Again, you haven't said specifically what you disagree with.

Not true - that's just your opinion dude.

Hinduism is a beautiful religion and has given a lot to science.

He’s controlling, and staking out your boundaries. Run for the hills.

Cows, especially, are a real nuisance and danger on the roads in India. So many motorists colliding into them and suffering injuries and death. Plus they shit all over the place—adding to the filth and stench that already exists. Simply disgusting. This sanctification of them really has to stop.

I don't think he needs help, he needs the bin.
This is using religion to try and control the Op.

He needs help if someone eating beef near him is a trigger.

That kind of nonsense only happens when religious beliefs are given a special status no matter how irrational they are.

Most religious beliefs are totally irrational and make no sense in the modern world. They date from a time when people were uneducated, we didn't have hygienic ways of farming animals or processing meat products etc.

Cows were sanctified as a means to stop rural communities from killing and eating the family cow leaving them with no means to plough their field or get milk. It's not relevant in the UK or most of the developed world and anyone who is atheist will understand that. Like most people I was brought up with a lot of nonsensical beliefs and I've managed to ditch every last one.

Oh yes, keep the air fryer not him!

Definitely bin him keep the stuff!

It’s completely irrelevant anyway. Entirely up to the OP whether she wants to eat unhealthy food or not.

Recent studies dispute that assertion.
There is little difference in cholesterol levels in lean cuts of red meat and chicken.

This.
I’d also love to know if this was the first time you did it, or the 1000th where (although his language wasn’t his best performance), an outburst may have been warranted.

I agree that the sensible thing is for them to part company because they are obviously incompatible.

I don't think we actually know what discussions they may or may not have had before they moved in with each other, or whether this is a recent change or an ongoing disagreement etc. As I've said, I think the atheism/religion aspect is irrelevant as the aversion to eating beef is cultural as much as it is religious.

And yes, he might well have known that she ate beef before moving in with her, and not had any desire to control what she ate, but he feels differently about having beef in his own home.

I think people are seeing this as him trying to control what the OP eats. I don't think it is that, I think it's about controlling what comes into the sanctuary of his own home. I can relate to this because I couldn't give a shit what other people eat and I don't judge anyone for eating whatever they like, but the signt of raw meat makes me feel physically sick and I would be deeply uncomfortable about someone keeping this in my house. If my DH suddenly decided that he wanted to start eating meat and bringing it into our home, I would be really uncomfortable with that and I would not want to share a kitchen with him any more.

He knew OP ate beef early on and it didn't stop him living with her.

Insisting she stop eating beef in her own home means he is not as tolerant as he thought even though he is atheist. The sensible thing is to part company as this issue is likely to get worse over time as he rediscovers other religious values he want to impose on OP and any children they have despite being atheist on paper.

In general terms, I agree that it can be intolerant to force your personal beliefs on others. But insisting that your partner should tolerate having something in their own home which makes them feel deeply uncomfortable is as much an attempt to force your beliefs onto them, so it isn't quite as simple as you might think.

It is not intolerant to maintain your own boundaries - whether those boundaries relate to being free to eat whatever you might want to eat or whether they relate to things that you're not comfortable having in your own home. And if you find that your boundaries are incompatible with someone else's, then there is nothing remotely intolerant about deciding that you would prefer to just walk away.

It's a shared house. I think he's being fine. I agree with it anyway. Beef is extremely bad for the heart. He doesn't want beef eaten at home. She can just eat it outside.

It's not fair because one person in the partnership is dictating what the other person can or cannot do in their own home.

Fairness means they both get to eat what they want at home.
She's not imposing her eating habits on him - she's not forcing him to eat beef.
That would also be unfair.

Another solution would be that the boyfriend leave the house when his girlfriend is eating beef at home so that she can enjoy it properly without him throwing a hissy fit.
