My Wife has become a militant vegan and I can’t stand it any more.
My wife became a vegetarian during the lockdown. When she told me she wanted to change her diet, I told her that was fine but not to expect me or the kids to follow along with her.
I would not expect her to cook me meat, and if we were eating together I would make sure to either cook vegetarian or make sure to cook meat separately from everything else. This worked well, there was literally no problems until this year.
At first it started with her getting a bit preachy about things. She would start to tell me or the kids how unhealthy meat was, how cruel the industry was, yada yada.
She went Vegan soon after and it has been a nightmare since then.
A few months ago, out of nowhere, she told me that animals products would not be allowed in the house at all. Obviously she does not just get to say that. I brought up the fact that she agreed that the rest of the family would not have to follow her diet.
Our kids are teens, and I’m a fully grown adult. She had a tantrum. A full on toddler tantrum when I told her this.
Now, she chastises me and the kids whenever she sees us eating meat. She tried to get the kids to watch documentaries with her, and has meltdowns when they don’t want to.
She got into a fight with her dad and refused to go to his birthday celebration because they refused to only have a vegan cake (but offered to buy a second one so she could join.)
I don’t know what happened. I’ve tried to talk to her about this and she looses her cool with me every time. Her insults just get more bizarre.
She calls me and the kids nazis and says we are supporting the “modern day holocaust.” The kids are absolutely tired of it.
Our son makes fun of her behind her back all the time now, and I’m less and less inclined to stop him. Our daughter refuses to be around her now, and tells me when she moves out of the house that she will never talk to her mom unless something changes.
I just want my wife back, now whatever activist monster she’s become.
