Today, after weeks of me "forgetting" to buy meat and animal products, my husband asked to talk. I was hoping he was getting the hints that I wanted us to go vegan. He wanted me to get checked for early-onset dementia. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my husband we should try go vegan for a while to see if there were any health benefits. He threw me over his shoulder and put me outside, because, “crazy plant ladies live outside with the other vegetables.” FML
Today, I had to tell my wife that the new "vegan" diet she has put us on is not working with my body. It's not the horrible gas, hot shits, or constant hunger that made me realize this. It was the dream I had about fried chicken that did. FML
Today, I've been a vegan for a year. It's also the day that I met my dad's new best friend, who happens to be a retired butcher. They tried to pull an intervention on me for not "being sensible" by eating meat. FML
Today, I fed my husband a vegan beef burger so I could show him that it tastes exactly the same when he didn’t notice. He noticed on the first bite and spat it across the kitchen because he thought the meat had expired before I cooked it, and tasted disgusting. FML
Today, my boyfriend spent half his paycheck on gourmet steaks, bacon, and all sorts of other meat. When I reminded him we were trying to go meatless to help the planet, he said, "Yeah, I'm done with that. The planet can burn." We'd only been vegan three days. FML
Today, as we were discussing our plans for 2026, I suggested we go vegan as it's healthier and better for the planet. My husband said, "Ask me to go vegan again and I'll have divorce papers for you the next day." Why? Why are men so adamantly opposed to veganism? FML
Today, after months of health problems and my boyfriend offering unsolicited advice that mostly boiled down to "eat meat, take vitamins", I finally followed his suggestions to prove that he was wrong. It's a week later and I feel better than I have in years. He's never going to let this go. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, it is kinda batshit crazy that you'd rather **** about with stupid games than actually communicating with him like a grown ******* adult.

Veganism is a personal lifestyle choice. You're welcome to become vegan yourself, but don't try forcing it onto someone else. Or at least ask if he'd want to switch to veganism along with you. It's not something that you silently try to convey without any sort of communication. "Forgetting" the meat and other animal products in hopes they'll understand, as you've been shown, won't work. And if it's not something they want to take part in, you should accept his answer, as they should accept your personal want to become vegan.

I think it's worth talking about rather than just trying to sneak in a big change like that. If it took him a few weeks to notice that there was no meat, then you could probably have gotten him to agree to try a vegetarian diet for a couple of months and then consider going vegan. It might take a little while before he's willing to try again.

quit playing games and open your mouth like a grown ass adult. have that conversation with him. but don't try to force it on him if he says no

This is a really bizarre thing to do. You’re an adult right, have a conversation with your husband about this or try to introduce “meatless Mondays” or whatever. You can’t force someone to go vegan, they need to come to that conclusion themselves.
