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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, I talked with my fiance about our wedding. He drew up a prenuptial agreement. One of the provisions said that if I ever go vegetarian or vegan, we immediately divorce and I get nothing. I thought it was a joke and laughed. He was deadly serious. FML
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
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Why? Because I became a vegetarian. Apparently, he doesn't believe in "not eating meat." 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 asked my friend if he’d ever consider going vegan, like me. His response was, and I quote, “Ew, no, I’d rather get shot! How dare you even ask?” A simple “No thanks, I’m not interested” would’ve done just fine, bro. 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 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, during our wedding, my new husband said that he’d divorce me if I “let myself go.” Later, he couldn’t understand why I'd got upset and told me, “Why are you so worked up for? If you don’t want that to happen, just eat healthy and exercise daily, it's not that hard.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How would you like to be nagged into eating meat? What a person eats is their own goddamn business. I don't blame him. Plus, vegans usually have an air of superiority that's insufferable.

Because he has tastebuds and doesn’t want to live a life being condemned to eat awful overly processed cardboard substitutes for food he enjoys.

Because veganism gets shoved down peoples throats the same way Westboro baptists tried with their 'christianity' and we all know how well that went down.

clear cutting thousands of miles of forests/rainforests for soybean farming seems counterproductive to saving the planet.

I think you should notice the HUGE red flag. If he would have said something like no way, forget about it, or something similar it's one thing. But since his reaction is I'll divorce you if you ask me again. It shows: 1. He thinks about it 2. Every argument pushes him in that direction 3. There are taboo subjects you can't discuss (probably not the only one). Worry less about saving the planet and start thinking how to save your marriage.

I don't think it's that men don't want to be vegan - they, or anyone for that matter, don't want to be told what to eat. Veganism is a choice, not an obligation. Don't force it on people.
