The Sunk Cost Fallacy Can Be Amplified
The sunk cost fallacy can be amplified in relationships where love, time, energy, attention, money, and reproductive materials have been invested, making it harder to acknowledge issues or discord with their partner.Once Children Are Involved, It Becomes Ethical
OP believes that staying with a partner, regardless of their diet, is ethical once children are involved because two-parent families generally have better outcomes than single-parent families.Some May Not Acknowledge the Full Extent of the Issues
However, OP advises those seeking advice to be aware that some may not acknowledge the full extent of the issues they experience with their omni partners due to the psychological pain of acknowledging problems in their relationship.The Online Community Empathizes
The thread of this post has several people empathizing with OP’s position. Many have their own personal experience of a very similar situation occurring and the positive outcomes that accidentally occurred.They Cut Their Consumption by 90% – It’s a Good Thing
“Here’s the thing. My wife has cut her animal product consumption by like 90%. Her family now eats less meat and consumes fewer animal products as a whole since she and I got married. Not just her parents. I mean her sister, aunts and uncles, and cousins too. I believe this is a net positive. And any amount of progress is still progress.”They Achieved A More Reasonable Solution
One reader commented that having two dietary preferences in the relationship has actually helped both come to a more reasonable solution. During the course of their relationship, his wife has come to terms with her consumption and began reducing it, which has had a substantial effect on her extended family too.There Was an Overall Positive Solution
This is a direct reflection of the OP’s dilemma. They are stating that there was an overall positive outcome to their relationship, which would nullify any of the ethical dilemmas that could possibly occur as a result of constraining who people date.Other Readers Agree With a Hard Line
There are numerous commenters who are very much in favor of more extreme views on the vegan lifestyle and morality. They suggest that OP is not considering the moral comparable that their partner is unwilling to address.How Can You Stay With Someone Who’s Hurting You?
“If you have a partner that you’ve explained veganism to, and they’re totally aware of the horrors of animal agriculture and choose to eat meat anyway, I don’t understand how you can justify staying with them. They have no excuse, especially since they know eating meat is hurting someone they supposedly love.”Non-Vegans, Once Knowledgable Should Change Their Ways
This comment suggests that once the animal farming industry is explained by the vegan, then their partner must relinquish their feeling and follow the dietary system. It is explained that only in this instance can a vegan justify staying with a partner who did not initially adhere to vegan principles.Stick To People Who Are Already Vegan
They also note that once the vegan in a relationship explains their viewpoints that their partner is hurting them, they continue with their meat-eating habits. Therefore, they are advocating that the best advice for the OP is to stick to dating partners who are already in support of or following vegan or vegetarian lifestyles.Finding a Partner Who’s Vegan May Be Difficult
However, some other commentators are suggesting that finding a partner with the exact lifestyle practices as niche as veganism is unlikely.It’s Common Sence
“I only met one vegan in my entire life, which was this week. there’s no sunk cost fallacy involved, the phenomena you’re describing is when someone has no choice. It’s just common sense to people living in most places that the people they love probably won’t be vegan or ever will be.”It Makes More Sense to Be Open-Minded
They explain that the proportion of people on Earth who are not vegan is a lot higher than those who are. Therefore, it would make more sense to be open-minded to the idea that vegans can have relationships with whomever they like. However, this lifestyle will be a point of negotiation going into the relationship where a middle ground can be met. This will guarantee the best opportunity for everyone involved.VENGEFUL VEGAN RUINS BRIDE’S BIG DAY WITH UNEXPECTED SPEECH REVENGE!
