    “I can change him!” - me justifying getting together with my nonvegan manchild, 2015 (we’re getting divorced now)

      Just curious but are disagreements over veganism at the heart of the split?

      Edit: I get people have speculations but still hoping to hear directly from the source

        Probably also disagreement of other core values, if one cannot give up their meat and dairy for a partner.

        I mean, if my partner does not respect my value there, how could they respect them anywhere else

          I mean, I would do the same on the spot if their response to me being upset about their support of systematic torture and slaughter of baby animals is “mmm veal burger”. It also has more to do with being able to see things from your partner’s perspective. If they don’t get veganism, they probably don’t get other basic things.
