You Don’t Like Me Because I’m Vegan?
I’m flattered that’s the worst thing you could find wrong with me
My dear friend Beth is going through a painful divorce. Her husband of over a decade has done and said some very painful things. One of the ways he controls her is by attempting to isolate her from her support systems, which includes me.
Luckily, she’s too smart to let him control her to that degree and still fills me in on all the details.
Those details include why he “doesn’t like” every single person in her life and why she shouldn’t either.
I’m not offended by mine — it’s quite comical. He doesn’t like me because I’m vegan.
For him to express his disdain for someone who has been in his wife’s life for longer than he has, one would think it would be for a decent reason.
Maybe we got in a fight about animal rights and I said some hurtful things? Or maybe I’m just one of those annoying, pushy vegans.
But I know that neither of those are the case because the last time I saw Jay, six years ago, was before I committed to this lifestyle.
There was never any confrontation around this issue because we’ve never even talked about it.
