I'm going veggie, but my SO is not. I don't want to cook meat, but that is what he eats and I am the one usually doing the cooking. HELP!

well you two are going to have to talk about it... if he isnt willing to do the cooking, then you are going to have to cook the meat. you are the one who has made the decision to change and you may have to work to create a new sense of normal in your cooking schedule.

To tell you the truth I go by the rule of everyone for them selves. He is a grown man its not wrong for a guy to cook and I do think its wront for the girl to HAVE to cook just because shes the girl. You should take turns cooking and take in count each others preferences when you cook for the other person. My boyfriend is a very good cook when he actually sets his mind to it and I wont lie by saying the cooking chore is even but at least its split 60-40, where I do the 60 ofcourse. You just need to talk to him and try to give your relationship more fairnes. Good Luck!!!!

You made the choice to change, not him. So, you have to accomidate, not him. If that don't work, find another SO who is also veggie. In the meantime, fire up the grill and slap on a thick steak, just like you have before.

teach him how to cook! he may like it!

Perhaps you can ask him if he would like to cook with you.

My daughter-in-law's mom has been vegetarian for pretty much the whole of her 50+ year marriage. She cooks meat for the rest of the family, but she doesn't want any of it. That seems to have worked for them.

If he wants to eat a piece of rotting animal flesh, let him cook it himself! Once you become aware of how cruel eating meat is, it is revolting to prepare. It is his choice if he doesn't want to eat your vegetarian meals.

LOOK; YOU knew that he ate meat when you got together with him , RIGHT ? You've been cooking for him all this time and NOE, just because YOU are changing YOUR eating habits , you want to change his or NOT cook for him .... That is very selfish and WRONG ... You need to loosen up and continue to do as you have been .... OR; you could end up LOOSING him ...

If you're that passionate about this new lifestyle you want to create even though you KNEW he was a meat lover before you decided to go vegetarian or whatever you mean by veggie, perhaps this just isn't going to work. While you have that attitude, I think I'm going to just eat 5 more pieces of meat to make up for the meat you're not eating. (I'm kidding, but if there was meat on my plate, I might actually do it).
