I’m currently transitioning vegan and plan to be 100% vegan by the end of next month. My boyfriend is supportive of what I want to do but is currently not one of those people that sees unsustainably consuming animal products as a world issue that needs to be focused on when there’s other “more pressing” ones (🙄...btw you CAN advocate for more than one issue at the same time). He’s of course one of those people who says he could never see himself doing that because he loves chicken and fish/sushi too much. I don’t think he’s completely against it down the road in the far future possibly, but I know him going vegan wouldn’t happen anytime soon. He’s willing to eat and try vegan food with me and let me cook it for him, I just can’t force my agenda onto him, which I’m not trying to do. I guess it kind of gets to me sometimes because I wish he could see it the way I do instead of thinking I’m putting too much energy into the wrong issues, and most other vegans I see have vegan partners, so I’m hoping if I’m not alone in my personal battle.

So no one comes for me, again I’m NOT trying to force veganism on him. I just wish he wouldn’t dismiss it or make me feel kinda silly for doing it. Why should I feel silly because I fucking feel empathy and care about other living things? (@internet carnists who can’t leave vegans alone and try to make us feel ridiculous.) I guess another wish of mine is that he would be much more open to veganism? But I’m not gonna try to change him.
