Hannah I want to apologize for a comment i made on your other video about vegan partners. I have since deleted it but i said something along the lines of "kissing non-vegans is gross, i dont want to be with someone i cant express my views to". I think it was an insensitive and immature comment. I was listening to your podcast with CPG earlier in the week and the comment about having compassion for the uncompassionate really hit me hard. I noticed that i dont have much patience or tolerance for people that disagree with me and if i lack those things i am going to have a tough time with my relationships with others, and myself. Having compassion for those we disagree with is one of the hardest things ive done in a while but it fosters so much love and empathy. I apologize for that comment. You are so wise and kind Hannah! I am always learning from you

The only difference between my husband and I as people is that I am vegan and he isn’t. We were engaged when I went vegan and he was one of the only people who were supportive of me since the beginning. He never put me down and has always shown his support through it all. He even cooked me a full course vegan meal with vegan desert in the beginning all by himself. Now I’m so much healthier and so much happier and he’s proud of me! Even though I wish he was vegan because of the health benefits and I want him to live a long life with me, he’s come such a long way by trying foods he’s never had before and enjoying vegan meals I prepare for us. At the end of the day, this man is my absolute best friend and somehow after 7 years of being with him I am still waking up every morning and loving him more than the day before, and I love him for exactly who he is. Nothing will ever change that!

First of all WOW! That is D MOST creative square space collab I've seen! :) And I turned vegan 4 months before our wedding and for ethical reasons. Oh my gosh! What a shock for the both of us! Being culturally different, we are SO different and going v..let's say plant based because I take the local honey from our neighbour. Discussions were tough, I tried to chill and he doesn't eat sooo much meat..and coming to Switzerland, where it is traditionally a farming community..makes it harder as it is not as fun just going out to eat when veganism in the villages are unheard of, almost (getting there). If you go to a restaurant..the only vegan thing could, many times be just french fries😥 I do sometimes feel like maybe having a vegan partner will make things easier..so thanks for the reminder. Ultimately we grow together and like you said, influence each other. Just six months into our marriage and...people say the first year is honeymoon but hell no! So many arguments...sooooo many disagreements but we grow. Slowly but surely. xx Dawn

Vehicle city Vegan if you read my comment I was saying we should be respectful to the person even if their actions aren't respectful. Even though as thr next comment points out, no one would cry over a rapist being treated without respect (double standards for meat eaters who DO know what happens as they have been living with the vegan for years). However I believe you should show compassion to people which vegans certainly should as everyone is on a journey hopefully

He has admitted that it is a cowardly act to know the right thing to do but feels he isn’t going to quit but reduce and I still think it is wrong.

Totally respect your marriage. Still couldn’t do it. I have no expectation for my life partner to agree with me on everything or to prove him wrong. But certain things are non-negotiable from a core values perspective. I could never ever marry someone with racists beliefs. It’s against my value system. I feel the same about being an ethical vegan. I could not live in a home with animal products in my refrigerator. My husband and I absolutely DO NOT have a perfect marriage. Nor do we agree on everything. But at the core, we have the same values. I believe that is how we have lasted 16 years.

I went plant based literally a few days before I got into a relationship with my current non vegan partner. We had been hanging out for a few months before we dated, so I definitely knew it was coming. I got really passionate about the ethical reasons a few months in to the relationship and I would basically hold a grudge towards him (without saying it) for not being interested like I was. Now we are a year and a half in and he’s not vegan but he loves the food I cook and I really appreciate that!! Once I let that go and accepted his perspective, I felt a lot closer and much more open to him. It took a bit to get over it, but I realized our relationship is really great in other areas so whatever. It would of been a disservice to my personal growth if I continued to hold it against him. Him being non vegan has really taught me a lot about loving him no matter what, like you said. We know how to accept each other as individual people with different values and passions

I agree with you. I'm a non-vegetarian man and had been dating a vegetarian woman for 6 years. I've even tried going vegetarian for a year to make her happy but after a year I went back to eating chicken and seafood (not all the time or every day). A month ago I even suggested that I'll be semi vegetarian. She did not accept. Unfortunately recently her and I broke up because she couldn't be with a man that doesn't share the same vegetarian beliefs as her. She told me she "needs a vegetarian man". To her I'm a selfish monster and men who eat meat are un-attractive. I hoped she would see what she had in front of her.....me, a loving man that supports her and still loves her. I just wanted her to accept all of me as I am. It's sad because she would rather throw the 6years we had together than to accept me as a non vegetarian.

They also have a series where they challenge people to go vegan for two weeks and they check up on them and give them help and encouragement. It is a really great channel because they are so open and honest with their experiences. I really think you should give them a watch!

I came across your page after posting on a vegan group on Facebook. I am so glad that I did! I am older, 58 and have been with my partner for 10 years (our anniversary was a few days ago). I became vegan two years into our relationship and he tried, for me, for a year but it was not what he really wanted. He has since started eating meat and dairy again. A year ago, I broke up with him, thinking that if he didn't connect with the suffering of animals, he was not a person I wanted to be with. Long story short, I missed him so much that we got back together but this time, I promised that I would not interfere with his food choices or try to control or change him in any way. Unfortunately, a month ago I started feeling frustrated, angry and disappointed at him again, mostly during meals. After watching your videos, I have come to realize that compassion should encompass everyone and everything in the universe, not just the humans that I think are up to my standards. He loves me, he is supportive of my choices, he cooks vegan food for me, he tries not to fry or grill so the house doesn't smell. He is kind, funny, generous, loyal and hardworking. I am grateful that he gave me a second chance and the opportunity to grow as a vegan by including EVERYONE in my circle of compassion. It's not always easy but it's definitely worth it!

I just found this video. Thanks for making it! I would love to see a video about how you balance meal planning with a non vegan. I became vegetarian after about 7 years of marriage and became vegan 5 years later. It has been a challenge for sure. He’s never been upset that I was vegetarian or vegan. He’s super supportive. The main frustration is finding a way to cook that suits us both without making 2 completely separate meals. This is especially the case since in this season of our life our budget is more limited. I do wish he didn’t eat animal products but it’s just not his path and it’s not right for me to judge or pressure him as a supportive & accepting spouse. He has found there are a lot of vegetarian & vegan meals he actually likes so he does eat at least one vegetarian meal with me a week. Vegan meals has been more of a challenge though. A lot of the vegetarian substitutes he & I liked before has dairy in it. He has a harder time omitting dairy than meat. Anyway, just sharing my experience. I’m so glad I found your channel! .

I was vegan and my fiancé wasn’t. The less I cared the easier it was for us to get along when it came to food, even when he talked about his “health reasons for eating meat.” Long story short, we watched What The Health together one cozy, October evening, and the next morning he told me he was ready to go plant based. We’ve been vegan together ever since that day... and now, both passionate ethical vegans. It literally happened overnight. I’m not saying anyone should hold out hope for their partner to change. But you truly never know what will happen and when. Just keep doing you and being happy. As song as you’re happy and your partner is happy, isn’t that all that matters? (love ya hannah😘)

My husband eats plant-based with me at home, but is not vegan. I am so appreciative to him that he is okay eating plants with me, even though I know he still has a taste for animals foods and does not see eating animal products as wrong. I try to exercise gratitude as I know it could be a whole lot worse, and I think he has come so far from where he was. He actually recently gave up cow's milk for soy milk, and I was so proud of him! Being married to a non-vegan can be hard, but it's also so rewarding and makes you expand your heart and teaches you to love unconditionally. Thanks Hannah for being such an inspiration!

I know this is rocket science to some other vegans, but my husbands dietary choices will never change how much I love him and how badly I need him by my side. He has been my best friend much longer than I have been vegan, and he has literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Me changing my dietary choices does not make the years we spent together, or our vows, null and void. If one day he decides to commit 100%, I’ll be so beyond ecstatic. But for now, I’m going to keep making vegan dinners, and let him eat whatever he wants for lunch and breakfast while he works 50-60 hours a week to take care of (and FEED) me and our son.

I love these videos about non-vegan partners, as it is something that I still struggle with at times. My partner told me a few months ago how sometimes he does not enjoy eating around me cause of the reactions I make. I was not even conscious of how much judgement I was pouring onto him, constantly critiquing what he puts in HIS body. Especially considering the fact that I dislike when people judge me for eating my vegan food. Could you maybe do a video addressing your thoughts/feelings when it comes to Eric eating meat around you, or just eating poorly? It's just so hard to see the people we care about consuming literal junk!

Hey Hannah! I know you've mentioned the topic of kids briefly before and that kids at the moment isn't quite on the radar. But I was just wondering if you've discussed what lifestyle you'd raise the child on? I only ask because I'm dating a nonvegan partner (I went vegan after we'd started dating) and even though kids aren't anywhere on my radar quite yet. Some days I go nuts thinking about how I am 100% raising my child(ren) vegan, but then I remember I have a partner who has an equal role in the relationship and what if they don't agree? TL;DR Would you ever touch upon in a video what lifestyle you and Eric would raise a hypothetical child on or what you've discussed (if you've discussed it) around this topic? Thank you so much for all of the videos you make around having a NV partner, they're so helpful :)

He's very close to his family and they are definitely not vegan. I just imagine sitting at the dinner table on thanksgiving arguing about why our kid can/can't have that apple pie grandma made.

I needed this video today. Been married (2nd marriage and we both have kids so that in itself is challenging) for 6 years. We were both omnivore when we got together. 3.5 years ago we both decided to a dip a vegan lifestyle. However the ethics never stuck with him and so he’s gone back (I guess he was plant based, for about 1.5 years). He now feels the loss of me not wanting to do what he likes to do, eat what he likes to do, and have me cook it for him. I feel disappointed that he could go back, knowing what he knows) and trying hard to just let him be him. However I will not buy, cook or clean up after any of his animal products. I also work a full time job and my kids are 12 and 14, where his kids live with his ex wife full time. So I have a lot more on my plate (he is nearing retirement in a few months and I have a dozen years or more left. We are to the point where I told him to just eat what he wants and I am fine with who he is, I still live him no matter what. But he is upset that I won’t like the smell, or it will bother me etc, even though I won’t ever mention anything. I can’t change the fact that it will bother me, but I can let it be and not bring it up. What else can I do? Sorry it bothers him to know it bothers me?? Urgh. It’s really hard. My boys eat what I make (vegan food) in the house but are free to eat what they want outside the house as they need to make their own choices. My husband was doing that, but he got all upset a few weeks ago again, ansi told him to buy what he wants but he’s cooking it. So now I have to deal with having all that in my fridge 😢. I swear he is now just eating his own meals all day everyday. All meat and eggs and dairy 😞 the funny part is I’m a trained chef, and I know my food is good. So he should be so lucky lol. But he’d rather eat bacon and eggs. The other thing is he eats a very unhealthy SAD diet…so it’s chips and beer and diet sodas etc in top of this, and I worry for his health (already ailing). However I cannot say anything because he gets very upset and will argue and it turns into a fight even if I remain calm and try to not say much. It’s so hard. I just try my best.

My boyfriend and I started dating when I had already been a vegan for 2+ years. Although he has no desire to go vegan, he has been incredibly supportive and always checks to make sure I can enjoy food with him. Even today, he messaged me asking if I cared if he bought suede shoes for himself because he knows they aren't vegan and wants to make sure it doesn't make me uncomfortable. I absolutely LOVE that he supports me in my lifestyle, and so I try my very hardest to support him in his choice as well. I understand that he doesn't want to give up meat, and it isn't my place to force him to do something like that. Of course it will always be a conflicting battle in my heart, but I know that if I come from a place of love and live compassionately, people will see that.

Hi Hannah, I watched your other video and this one about non-vegan partner. I myself am non-vegetarian man and had been dating a vegetarian young woman for 6 years. She has been pushing me to be full vegetarian and believing what she believes in, being on the same page as her. I tried being vegetarian for 1 year to make her happy but ended up going back to eating chicken sometimes seafood after 1 year. She said that people that eat meat are selfish monsters and men who eat meat are un-attractive. She argues and gets mad at me for eating meat. Lately its gotten so bad that we ended breaking up. She will not accept me as I am. I even suggested that I'll be semi vegetarian and eat meat 12 days a year. She would not accept and said eating meat one time is too much. She told me that she "needs a vegetarian man". It's sad because we enjoyed eachothers company and supporting eachother through the years and now it's gone. We both had even talked to a Pastor friend about the situation but to her if I'm not a vegetarian, she doesn't want to be with me. I still have feelings for her and do love her. I just hoped she would look past this hole vegetarian thing and see what she had in front of her......me, a loving man that loves all of her leading to marriage as a loving husband and wonderful wife with children...a loving family. That's what I hoped for. Is there anything that can be done? Or should I move on?

My partner is vegetarian and though we don’t buy milk or dairy for home, he’ll occasionally have it when we go out. We’re continuously discussing our ideas and usually have a pretty open minded, respectful conversation about it all despite our small differences in ideologies. When we made the diet/lifestyle switches it was really me who did the research, learned (continuing to do so) and brought it all up to him which helped him make the switch. I was the initiator. I’m curious to hear a story where this happened the other way around, (when the man in a relationship goes vegan first or alone) and I’m sure it does, I’ve just never heard of it before! As always, great tips and thanks, Hannah!

I am not good at dealing with it. My boyfriend has come to the green side and that is probably the number one reason why I appreciate him. Not only because we have similar core values but because it shows me he is honestly aware of my ideologies and interested in who I am. I mainly love him for making the decision because I feel heard and I also feel like he has a good heart. Becoming vegan is hard. We have to face so much drama and little obstacles everyday.. But sharing a life with someone who is not willing to take a step that means SO MUCH to you just sounds like too much to deal on my own :( I STILL LOVE YOU GUYS AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY AND I THINK YOU ARE VERY BRAVE FOR OVERCOMING THAT WITH SUCH GRACE AND KIDNESS, things that probably run in your blessed family's blood

reminder 1: what i told my partner just yesterday... we had a discussion about me being (passionatly) vegan and him the opposite... we've been together for just 2 months. I haven't felt that way for sooooo long! I don't want this issue to be a killer for our relationship. the very difficult thing for me is the thought of us living togehter one day and meat is being prepared in our home... and also him eating meat in my presence... it is so cruel for me to watch that poor murdered soul on his plate and also it feels gross to kiss him right after :( i so much hope we'll find a way that's good for both of us.

Not at all saying u don’t love ur spouse more asking how u reconcile these internal debates. Keep shining xxx

Thanks for sharing Hannah 😀. My husband is non vegan but is very supportive by eating plant based for his main meal of the day and will eat anything I make him. He tries to get his dairy fix when he can but does so in secret (or that’s what he thinks) by hiding cheese at the back of the fridge or chocolate in the bookcase. Does make me chuckle!

I now do it for ethical reasons as well ! I have another daughter living at home, who is "pescaterian". My husband is a full blown meat eater. I do feel in time, I will have both of them Vegans (MAYBE NOT MY HUSBAND)... not by force, but because they see and taste the yummy meals I make. Thank you for all your insite.

Hi, I am vegan but my partner is not. My partner jokes about having kids and I play along too. When I bring up how I want to raise my kids vegan like Ellen Fisher, he gets mad and says he should have a say too. I want to be with him for the rest of my life but raising a future family vegan is very important to me and I can't negotiate that.

I've been married to Mike for 27 years. And we are still very, very much in love. We were both vegetarian when we met , I then became an ethical vegan, with all the feels and passion and angst....and he didn't. Boy it was difficult sometimes, I'd be in bits about some dairy farm footage and he would be eating cheese on toast.. but I had to remember that was ME before I was vegan. We are quite different in lots of ways, we both have an off the wall sense of humour, like quiet over noise, libraries over parties but our differences are vast. Being an ethical vegan to me, means deep compassion for all. I've got about nine vegan notches on my belt.. people attributing ME ( blush) as the inspiration/reason/to stop my apparently annoying bubbly optimistic attitude from making them feel bad!! Anyhoo Mike watched WTH, conspiracy and found Derek from Simnett Nutrition ( Mike is a bit of a work out/ fit guy) and he turned overnight vegan! With no pressure from me at all. I still pinch myself..its bloody wonderful, and Im over the moon.. of course our marriage isn't perfect. How could it be? Life is short people.. live a little and love a lot.

I have a non vegan partner. I was really tough on him at first, but then I calmed down. Because he sees that I am respecting him, he respects me in return. He even will veganize his meals sometimes and always shares with me when he does. I praise him for vegan choices instead of putting him down for non vegan choices

I have a non-vegan partner and it honestly has been pretty awesome! I went plant-based three years into our relationship and he's so excited about it, he tried understanding my reasons and genuinely tries to help me stick to this diet, which is slowly turning into a lifestyle. He gets creative and tries to make a vegan version of everything he's craving so that I don't have to feel left out. I got really lucky that he's like this and was so supportive because i know not everybody is, the first few months he even would eat vegan whenever we ate together and for that I'm super grateful. I know he won't be turning vegan, probably ever, but his support has been enough.

reporting in - one more vegan here with a non-vegan partner! seems like there are a lot of us. thank you so much for the reminders. i recently made the ethical connection and it’s so hard not to be “that vegan” around my partner (and let’s face it, everyone else i know or come in contact with ever). do you still hold out hope that eric will one day go vegan? i don’t put on the hard sell to my partner, but i remain optimistic that my actions will speak loudly enough to be an influence. what’s interesting is that my partner’s brother has been vegan for 20 years since they were teenagers. so it’s good on the one hand because my partner totally gets it and is super supportive...but on the other hand, he still hasn’t made the jump...? 🤷🏻♀️

Hey Hannah! Fellow vegan girl here with a non-vegan partner!! ahah I really just wanted to know something and I hope you could give me some feedback. Do you ever cook non-vegan food for your partner? Is it wrong that I refuse to cook meat for mine? I used to do so when I was a vegetarian but now that I've been vegan for 7 months it just doesn't make sense to me to be touching meat and cooking a dead animal's body. But then again... I almost feel guilty! Because we love food and we love to cook for each other and sometimes it makes me a bit sad that I can't do the same for him... I know I shouldn't feel guilty BUT I love him soooo much and I just don't knoooowww :( This is actually something that scares him, and me too, because he thinks it may be the reason that might end our relationship... Help! Would love to know what's your perspective on this subject! A million tons of love all the way from Portugal to you! ❤️

I went vegan two years ago so he was there through my whole lifestyle change and he was so supportive and never told me being vegan was dumb or anything like that. So, in return I don’t nag him to go vegan or anything along those lines - tho I do try to encourage him to eat healthier cause he’s not the greatest with that lol. Oh and for my birthday he’s taking me to an animal sanctuary and we’re gonna sponsor an animal there for a year!! 😭😭😭 seriously so supportive, and that’s what matters

I went vegan a year into our marriage, but my husband did not. Add it to the list of things we do differently. We are an interracial, international, and mixed faith marriage of 3 years now. Potentially, there's one million arguments waiting to happen, and although it took me too long to learn this lesson, it's respect and timed shared that matter most in a relationship. My husband may never commit to veganism, but I'm helping my mother in law transition to treat her diabetes; so if life has a karmic purpose for us, perhaps embracing this lifestyle was to ultimately change my Amma's health for the better. Considering the impact compassion has on others lives, vegan or non-vegan partner, love is invaluable.

Love this. My husband isn't vegan either and I went vegan about 3 months after we were married strictly for the animals lol so I had difficulty with it in the beginning too but I constantly reminded myself that I was the one who changed. He has been very supportive and respectful since the begining, thankfully. Also, I just found out Daniella Monet's partner is not vegan either and the longer I'm on this journey the more I'm realizing this is the norm.

While he has not followed me on this path, he has been super supportive and eats my vegan meals, and sometimes even makes me some vegan meals. (his vegan squash soup is actually better than mine!)

I can relate to you so much. I 100% agree! Not everyone will have the exact same views as you, and sometimes, you fall in love with those people. I turned vegan after my husband and I got engaged. He didn't want to turn vegan, but he supported my choices. Over time, he has learned A LOT from me as we discuss things, and he pretty much eats 95% vegan now. We eat 100% vegan within our household, and plan to raise our children vegan, but sometimes when we go out to eat, he will order a non-vegan item. I respect his choices just like he respects mine. We support each other. I never thought he would have come as far as he has with the whole vegan thing, and I am super proud of him.

My boyfriend and I have been together for two years now. I'm vegan and he isn't. It works out really well. We don't live together, but we spend a lot of time together and eat lots of meals together. At least half of his meals are vegan since he enjoys not having to make food for himself. Every meal we make together is vegan and if he wants to add cheese or meat to his serving (when we're at his place), he does. He's always up for trying vegan food at restaurants when we visit a big city. I got him hooked on the veggie burgers from Aldi's... He buys them for himself now, not to share with me. We love and respect each other unconditionally.

I am in a 3 years+ relationship with someone who isn't vegan. I wasn't myself when we started dating, so it has been challenging for sure. And then, something happened. My partner who considers himself a specist and is not ready to be vegan anytime soon, keep being and advocate for my choices and my food. We eat vegan at home, and sometimes out (really hard in France for now but still), and every time someone brings up the topic of veganism, he defends my views and beliefs even better than I would. AND keep saying things to friends like "isn't this chocolate cake DELICIOUS??? Guess what? No eggs or dairy in it! Isn't it amazing???". I have a non-vegan partner, and I feel like I'm the luckiest.
