Today, my girlfriend of five months told me that she had booked us reservations to our town's Halloween barbecue party. When I reminded her that I'm vegan, she told me she specifically got the reservations to help me to quit my "stupid fad". Weird, I never knew being a devout Hindu was a fad. 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 girlfriend that I'm a vegan. She replied, "So, you're allergic to meat?" FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me up by saying, "Good morning! We're going to be vegans from now on." 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
Today, my vegan girlfriend openly admitted that she'd let me die if she had to choose between saving my life or an animal's. She actually seemed confused as to why that upset me. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. She ordered shrimp fettuccine, and I asked why. She slowly explained to me that vegetarians can eat shrimp, then muttered that she now knows who has the brains in our relationship. 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, a hot guy asked me to meet him at a barbecue restaurant. I reminded him that I was vegan. He replied, "Oh, my bad. Forget it then." and didn't respond to my desperate follow up texts. FML
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, 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?

While what she did was disrespectful to you... I don't see why you being vegan should stop you from enjoying a friendly gathering; regardless of the food they serve.

You need to have a serious talk with your girlfriend. She shouldn't disrespect you and your choices/beliefs like that. If she continues to do this you have to consider dumping her

Hey heteronormatives, the OP is female too. Regardless OP, someone who truly cares about you would be willing to work with your dietary decisions. Talk to her about *why* you are vegan. If she cannot/will not understand that it isn't a fad decision, it may be time to move on. Trust me on this, being veg in a carnivore culture here in America isn't easy - that's why I'm married to a Hindu guy :D

Not that OP's gender matters to the context of the story at all, but that little icon next to the username means they identify as male.

most hindus are not vegetarian. even if they are, it is not tied to the religuon itself. veganism is not even on the radar. either the op completely misunderstands his own religion or he is messing with ignorant white people.

Have a juicy burger or a steak and test your level of devotion to Hinduism. Besides have you spoken to her about the gods you believe in like say the flying monkey and elephant head guy? If she laughs at those how can you be together?

That is a really good point you made. I would be checking everything after that comment she made.

Being vegan is not part of Hinduism. Nice try trying to use religion as an excuse. (A very small % of Hindu are vegetarian by choice, but it's not part of the religion itself)

exactly. silly white people always stand up for anything, even if it is not real.

Maybe try following a religion that isn't total bullshit?
