My boyfriend and I have been together 7 years. We both went vegan 4 years ago and things have been great having a vegan partner to do life with. We’ve been having problems over the past few months. About 2 months ago he asked me how I felt about him having pizza with real cheese on occasion. Of course I gave him the ethical explanation of why I don’t eat dairy (which he knows very well) and he immediately agreed it was a bad idea and dropped it. Last week we had a big fight and he says he wants a break from the relationship so he can have some time to think, I moved out and he’s not speaking to me at all. Then I see he’s going and buy a bunch of frozen pizzas with real cheese and non vegan cookies from whole food cause we still share the same account… which is something he’d never do when we were together. He’d often criticize non-vegans when we were together. So I guess I just don’t understand. I feel like I didn’t even know the person I was with for 7 years at all. Maybe he’s unhappy with his life and he’s just doing anything he can to try and change that, I don’t know. But it’s super hurtful and confusing because I feel like now not only is he’s hurting me, but he’s hurting the animals.
