Veg vs Non Veg

Hi David. My Jain wife is driving me nuts. She does not eat any animal flesh, be it meat, poultry or fish. She thinks healthy living only consists of fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains, seeds and pulses. Did I know all this before going ahead to marry her? Yes. I love my wife very much. The mutual love we share is the foundation of our journey. We also love God dearly, and I thought because we had that in common, we had something to build on. Now, I am beginning to doubt whether I was prepared for what I have taken on.

We’ve been married for two years and I don’t think I can continue with this vegetarian lifestyle. I really thought I could change her with time but she’s trying to turn me rather into a vegetarian. She cooks only veg at home. My understanding initially was, she was going to be preparing her veg meals while making my choice of non veg meals for me. That could have prevented any issues whatsoever. As long as we decide to respect each other’s choices and not force them into something else. But she’s not willing to cook two separate meals at home. Dave, I don’t know how to cook.

It ultimately became unbearable I started to lie to her. I would eat my pork and beef outside and I don’t know how she finds me out but she kind of figures it out. My wife will not allow me to have sex with her for about three days just to punish me. She wants me rather to adjust. Why doesn’t she want to adjust to non veg? I wish my wife ate meat and wouldn’t vomit at the sight or smell of it. It has gotten so bad that, when we have guests coming over, I have to secretly call those I know ahead of time to eat their preferred protein and be full before coming to our house to eat leaves. How can a woman in this day and age believe that pigs, goat, chicken, fish, snails etc. have a right to be free from human use? My wife is turning me into a vegetarian. Heeelppp!!!
