i hate eating out with my partner

Not vegan, but I’d think from BFs perspective, I doubt he really grasp the issue. I mean, if I were him, id just assume you were good ordering what u want (vegan) and would think u would be fine with me ordering what I want. Like, not trying to force meat on you so would prob take for granted that u wouldn’t force me to not eat it. Like I guess it’s more of I do me, u do u… and I guess unfortunately, for u, those that are non-vegan prob don’t give it as much underlying thought. I hope that makes sense.

Also keep this in mind about non-vegan. We are often ignorant to your particular underlying reason for the way u choose to eat. For example, I have some close friends (married couple) who went vegan 1 year ago. They did this after the husband experienced a couple of cardiac scared. So it was health based reason vs animal rights reason. So my point here, is that many of us may just not fully grasp that it bothers you so much and don’t really think or get how something we’ve done forever needs to be adjusted. May sound ignorant, but most of us non-vegan prob think that you ordering vegan checks the box for you and vice versa.
