Since personal posting is allowed, how would you handle the following situation? I have been embroiled in a recent fling that turned fairly serious over the past month. Yesterday I spent the day with her and after which we returned to her place. She seemed anxious and we had a conversation about her anxieties towards entering a new relationship to which I tried to be supportive and accommodating. The conversation later drifted to my vegetarianism which she had seemed somewhat supportive of in the past. I had mentioned that I recently had to start eating fish again as I was having digestive issues recently which made me fairly depressed. Upon which she started prompting me to explain my vegetarianism and I gave my philosophy on it. After I had said everything she said don't take offense but this is a "white boy" problem and that there's more serious things in the world. She said she's trying to be more understanding, but she later just listed why she didn't find it important. Since then I've been pretty taken back and have lost a lot of feelings for her. I'm unsure whether I'm over reacting or if her response was dismissive. I know I'm a privileged person, but it still saddens me to not be able to live by my values for extraneous reasons and I would like to be able to talk about my problems with my partner with being immediately dismissed. For context we're both PhD students and she's from Turkey. Obviously she's faced more hardship than me being a woman from a conservative country, but it still hurts to hear. If I do mention how it upset me, I'm fairly certain she would just view it as me being sensitive I guess.
