actually i didnt know that. hmmmm. i used to 'date' a guy whose a vege, i cant accept it and we didnt pursue the relationship any further. i suppose its hard on the non-vege.

there's always a way to work around this issue. and i'm pretty sure you're not the first one. :] it's not difficult to find food for both of you even when you're eating together. but just tough that you can't share stuff.

anyway, when are you coming back?! will you be here on Boxing Day?

Hey babe! Won't be back in time for boxing day but I will get back on new year's eve morning!

What exactly is he uncomfortable with?
Is it the guilt of him eating dead flesh without you joining him?
There are many reasons why omnis can't accept vegos, mostly because of guilt masked as anger/defiance.

I thought I saw a post where you briefly mentioned this..

Well I suppose it may be hard when it comes to eating out. But since you're in Aus, finding salads and non-meat stuff might be a lot easier than when you are back home in SG. Other than that, I don't really see a problem with the different preferences in food.

Just the part that if HE can't accept your choice....makes it hard to try to work out a compromise...

Try to compromise first, just so you don't live with regrets.

What about picking places that serve both meats and vegs?

I'm cool with eating at any place as long as there's vego options for me but he's not quite satisfied with that, saying it hurts to see me eat with this limitation though I am ok with it
