Today, my boyfriend told me that he would leave me if I didn't seek help for my eating disorder. The eating disorder in question? Vegetarianism. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Why? Because I became a vegetarian. Apparently, he doesn't believe in "not eating meat." FML
Today, after being a vegetarian for 5 years, I found out that my boyfriend of 2 years has secretly been feeding me meat. His reason is that he thinks it's "funny" that I still call myself a vegetarian afterwards. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me the sauce he made for our dinner that was meat-based, trying to show me how nice meat is and stop me being a weirdo vegan. The reason I’m vegan is because my digestive system can’t handle animal protein. I’m writing this from the bathroom, vomiting myself to death. FML
Today, my vegan boyfriend told me that if he were forced to kill either his cat or me, he'd kill me because he "would never kill an animal." FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend gets lunch every day at Burger King. I confronted him, and he broke up with me. Apparently, he only pretended to be vegan like me to get in my pants, and now the jig is up he dumped me so he can return to having meat at all three meals of the day. FML
Today, yet again. my boyfriend told me I'm getting fat, even after I told him to stop and that it's affecting my mental health. I had an eating disorder previously, and now I'm thinking about going back to just eating an apple a day. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend called to tell me that he had always made a point to eat some form of meat before making out with me. He'd known I was a vegetarian since the day we met. FML
Today, my boyfriend sent me a long text breaking up with me and calling me "selfish", all because I fed my dog half of the roast he made us for dinner. He knows damn well I feed her a raw diet. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house for dinner with his family. His mom cooked up a steak dinner, except that I'm a vegan, but trying to be a good girlfriend, I forced it down. Upon his mother finding out I was a vegan, she called me "disloyal to my beliefs." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Save a plant. Eat a rock.

You roast vegetarians on a spit over an open fire? At least they'll be low fat.

Should SgtAssCheeks be promoted to CptObvious?

Yep.. That's probably the worst eating disorder... I'm a second hand vegetarian, cow eat grass, I eat cow!
MidnaLink 35
Yes, 'cause real eating disorders are SOOOOO much better!

I rank them by intrusiveness, and no bulimic or anorexic has ever tried to convert me...

Tell him to not let the door hit him on the way out. Good riddance. If he cannot handle your lifestyle then he is not the man for you.

The cure for vegetarianism is one taste of bacon :-)

Not everyone likes Bacon.

If he can't accept your choice of eating, he shouldn't be your boyfriend.

If ya know what I mean. ;-)

Lot of angry vegetarians here.

24, being consistently made fun of and not being shown respect fo one's life choices get old rather fast. ;-)
Grauncho 27
37, imagine how much ridicule you would've had to endure in the ice age.
lylotrezor 20
You do realize the concept of ridicule did not even exist then, right? :D
Welshite 40
You're that old then, #46? I'm pretty sure ridicule and humiliation are inherent in humans. Maybe the word was nonexistent, but the concept wasn't.
Grauncho 27
You're right. You simply would've been kicked out of your clan and left to die for your non-meat eating ways.
doodlecloud 27
Obviously some sort of ridicule would have existed then. However, it's unlikely vegetarianism would have, so it's kind of a stupid point. I'm a vegetarian as I'm fortunate enough to live in a country where living a vegetarian lifestyle is relatively easy and perfectly healthy. There isn't a need to kill for food here. Would I be one in the ice age? No, of course I wouldn't. Same as I wouldn't expect an Eskimo to be a vegetarian. It's just not a plausible option in such an environment.
Grauncho 27
You, my friend, are a sensible vegetarian. I thank you.
TheDrifter 24
The part I don't get is the why. High protein levels from a meat heavy omnivorous diet allowed the human brain to develop to its current form, far above the capacity of any other simian, in fact we became the most intelligent animals on the planet. Why mess with that system?
MsConfusedd 27
Sharks eat meat, and they're not smart. Just because you eat a certain way does not mean you're smarter or better than anybody else. I'm a vegetarian and I'm at the top of my class. I also run cross country and am a very healthy person. Being vegetarian in no way hurts your health or brain.
TheDrifter 24
Actually sharks are among the planet's best problem solvers, they're not stupid. Changing diets doesn't decrease the intelligence you have, it changes the way a mother's body adapts a developing fetus to environmental factors on a generation over generation basis. Anyone can be fit, it just takes work and top of your class is relative to who's in it, but I'd imagine you already knew all that, yes?
MsConfusedd 27
My mother was also a vegetarian while pregnant and I will be when I have children. Tell your great great grandkids to talk to mine.

He needs to except who you are , if he really loves you, he'll adapt to whatever your passionate about . I'm Sorry that your boyfriend isn't so understanding op!

I am one that kind of disagrees with being a vegetarian, as I believe we eat meat as part of our biology, but I still respect the lifestyle choice, as long as you aren't one of those vegetarians who rub it on other people's faces and talk down at us "normals" for eating meat. Anyway, little rant aside, if your boyfriend cannot respect said choices that come from your behalf, even more so to the point of considering them an illness, he needs a serious conversation, and in worst case scenario (hopefully it won't happen), get rid of him. Intolerance is just plain wrong.
roadie42 21
Agreed. Can we all just live and let live? Some people eat meat, some people don't...who the hell cares? It's not like your choices are personally affecting others, unless you've been demanding that your boyfriend adhere to your lifestyle too. Other than that, FYL.

Nicely said!

I am not a preachy one but eating meat isn't necessary. I was very underweight when I ate meat, but since converting to vegetarianism I'm still thin, but VERY healthy. The doctor said my iron levels are perfect. I only get mad at people for eating meat is when they try to put it in your face and say, "You know you want it." and such.

I agree. Don't be a freak eat meat

how can she not be a freak if she eats meat? ;)
