My wife is 32 weeks pregnant. She’s been vegan for the past 5 years.

We switch cooking duties on alternate days.
Usually, I eat vegan food and when I crave meat, I eat one of those vegan alternatives. My wife doesn’t like me eating meat so I try not to eat meat most of the time.
Today, I was craving seafood so my wife offered to make vegan alternatives for seafood. However, I like the texture of seafood and that cannot be replicated using vegan ingredients so I told her I’d be eating lunch outside. She protested but I stood my ground. I prepared her a meal and then went out for lunch.
When I came home, my wife said I was inconsiderate and rude and that I shouldn’t have eaten seafood knowing she’s vegan. She is now refusing to speak to me.

Here are what netizens think:
- Correct me if I’m wrong. Your wife is a vegan, you however are not. You’ve been considerate enough to change your diet for her sake.? She is now manipulating you by giving you the silent treatment as punishment for doing as you will and what most people in life do on a regular basis.
- She needs to grow up, she cannot force you to do what she feels is right or whatever reason she’s a vegan. You are allowed to do as you will with your diet because YOU know your body and what it likes and dislikes.
- My wife has an allergy to fish, not a dietary choice, a medical condition. She doesn’t stop me from eating fish, we have some in the house right now. Out of consideration I now stick to tinned fish on crackers, so I’m not getting fishy fumes in the apartment, or risking fish residue on the cast iron.
- She is though for forcing her dietary choices on you, and for essentially throwing a tantrum when you didn’t want to follow her diet for a solitary meal. You were considerate in how you did so even, by not eating it in front of her.
