Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hi Nikki, > I disagree - I don't think it is the cause (veganism) that affects > the love, it is the result or action to the cause that affects the > love Perhaps you're right. And for me, on reflection I'd have to say it isn't my wife's action/reaction to my being vegan that is any kind of a problem, 'cause she has been very supportive. I think instead it is my reaction, being disappointed in her that she doesn't want to become vegan herself. And as a kind of ps, I'd like to just say that I have been talking about one person being vegan and one not vegan in a relationship as a problem, but I certainly don't think it a large enough one to break up or even really harm a relationship, at least, not in my case. A problem, yes, but not a huge one. Just in case I gave the wrong impression there.
