I understand... but just in case it made any difference, there are usually alternatives I can eat in most situations, even so we're eating the "same" foods but I just get the plant-based version. Like for example, a non-vegan can eat meat while I eat a plant-based meat. Or they can have cow's milk latte while I have oat milk latte. I've done this a lot already and it usually works well...

It's not like I would actually try to change them in any way, though. What if I never mentioned it?

To be fair, it's a lifestyle/philosophy that extends beyond diet into other purchases as well. But if I'm not trying to make them vegan, I don't see what the problem is? Aside from potential inconvenience of me not partaking in some of the same things as they might typically, though there are alternatives...

I think it wouldn't be a problem for me, unless it was a problem for them... that's what I'm wondering

Apologies for not being clear, I meant that I would hope just being vegan might subconsciously influence people to think about it, but I wouldn't hold any expectation or pressure them. It would be more of a hope that I have but I guess it wouldn't affect how I act or behave in any way. Is that still a deal-breaker?

I would respect my partner's wishes and not do any of those things, but veganism is a philosophy and not limited to diet... I would be lying if I said it wasn't... Is that in itself a problem? 🙂
