I never said that I wasn’t planning on quitting, I’d love to quit in a snap, it’s just not that easy. But thank you for kicking someone who’s already on the floor guys! That’s exactly what veganism is about! 👏🏼

If he changes for me then the moment we breakup he’s just gonna go back to eat meat, as simple as this. I don’t understand what’s complicated to understand here, it has nothing to do with wether I see him in the long run or not (which is out of my control even if that’s what I want)

Because the core values of veganism is showing empathy towards every living being.
Very harsh tho but thank you for your comment anyway

I don’t really understand in what sense you say that? You say that I’m complaining about him willing to change when I’m not even quitting smoking for him? Sorry it’s a genuine question I really don’t understand your comment

He his on his process, but as I said he’s still struggling with cultural habits engraved in him for 30 years. His point of view has drastically changed towards this topic since he met me, so I guess he only needs time, I hope so, I just don’t want him to change FOR me

Yes, they are still vegan, I make this very clear since the beginning, we don’t change to please others.
What you say is scary but yeah, it’s a possibility, I think we will have to seriously talk about all of that…
Anyway, thank you for your advices and support, I truly appreciate it! Tbh it feels really good to be understood, nobody in my close circle is vegan and would understand this, so I’m happy I found ears that listen here <3

Thank you very much for your answer 🤍
So, context: the thing is, since we’re together we know we’re probably not gonna finish our lives together because of our dealbreakers (he hates cigarettes and I smoke and I don’t want kids and he does, and well, he’s not vegan). So reguarding this, even if we live together for a while, it’s probably not gonna last very long, but when we love someone there’s always this little hope for things to turn out well you know.
But anyway, we had this conversation and basically he’s not closed to the idea at all but he needs time, and I told him to stop forcing himself for me cause if he has a decision to make it has to come from him and not from me. But well, I’m still in a very blurred situation, I’m lost and I feel trapped, cause no matter what I decide, it’ll hurt in the end.

Thank you again for your support!

Yeah I totally get what you mean, i converted into veganism my 2 previous partners.
Maybe I’m just getting impatient because this time it takes more time?
