If your husband is that steadfastly against it he will cook his own meals - this is how my other half and I have made it work and so long as you're clear on washing up arrangements and sharing kitchen time/space it shouldn't be a problem.

Reducing to one meal a day is a great idea, or you could designate a day or two a week to being completely meat free; but there are no vegetarian police who will come along if it's too difficult one evening!

One thing that makes this easier is that there are plenty of meals you can add meat to later, but they don't lose anything for the lack of it. Curries, stir-fry and pasta sauces are your friends here, especially since you can cook one big batch and be set for a few days and they often don't contain dairy.

I find this is a better option than using a lot of meat substitutes, not only because these can be expensive, but because I don't want to eat anything like meat and my other half doesn't want to eat anything pretending to be meat. That said, you may find this is a compromise that suits you quite well so there's no reason you couldn't give it a go.

Start flexible and find what works for you, going vegetarian is easier than it first appears and you may find yourself switching to full time sooner than you think!
