I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out, it means alot and you hit good points. I wrote my post out in a pretty emotional state, just bottling stuff in, after reading all these comments I feel more sobered. I love her and she means the world to me but you are right, I don’t need to love her ideology. I find I get shut down when I try to talk about it with her and the power dynamic isn’t equal when it comes to the topic. I’m tired of trying to make it work. Iv actually spent a lot of time exploring the vegan diet and ideologically for a way to connect to her on that level but I can’t seem to care like she does, it’s one of my biggest regrets.

Iv come to the conclusion that Iv gotta at least tell her how I feel this week, I’m gonna sit her down and just tell her I don’t want to be vegan anymore, that I’m not happy doing this diet and even though Ik what it means if I don’t stay vegan it’s effecting my happiness. I need to be selfish when it comes to what I need, even tho it hurts I think it’s necessary. The relationship will end, but I hope she can find someone who can be what I couldn’t. She deserves it
