Dear Jane,<\/span><\/p>\n My wedding is coming up in a few months\u2026 but during the planning, my fianc\u00e9 and I have become involved in such furious arguments, over the food of all things, that I\u2019m not sure I actually want to go through with it.<\/span><\/p>\n My fianc\u00e9 is <\/span>vegan<\/span> and has been since we met, which actually put me off him when we first matched on Hinge because I\u2019m a gal with a big appetite for burgers and steak. But luckily it never got between us \u2013 even when we started cooking together at home.<\/span><\/p>\n However, when he proposed and we started planning our wedding, he told me that he wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable serving any meat at the reception. A lot of his family is vegan and he said that they\u2019d be offended to even be around meat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a bone of contention for months now \u2013 to the point where we\u2019ve actually gotten into screaming matches in front of the caterer because he was mad that I\u2019d even requested to sample a meat dish.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Jane, my vegan husband wants to ban all meat from our wedding – even though he allows it in our home. His stubborness has made me doubt whether we should really be marrying\u00a0<\/p>\n He allows meat in our home so it makes no sense to me that he would want to ban it from our wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I know my friends and family are going to be miserable at the idea of attending a vegan dinner \u2013 but when I raised that, he made it seem like his family is the only one that matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The stubborn way that he\u2019s dealt with this whole thing is giving me really cold feet \u2013 I\u2019ve seen another side to him during this whole process that I didn\u2019t realize existed before, and I\u2019m terrified that I\u2019ve made a huge mistake and agreed to marry the wrong guy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n International best-selling author Jane Green offers sage advice on DailyMail.com readers’ most burning issues in her Dear Jane agony aunt column<\/p>\n But is it stupid to call off my wedding over a steak!?<\/span><\/p>\n Help me please.<\/span><\/p>\n From,<\/span><\/p>\n Confused Carnivore<\/span><\/p>\n Dear Confused Carnivore,<\/p>\n It would be short-sighted to call off your wedding over a steak, but the steak in question is actually a signifier of bigger issues, which you are starting to see.<\/p>\n Marriage is nothing if not compromise. Two people come together, each with their own beliefs, their own way of doing things, and no matter how justified each one is that theirs is the right way, the way forward to peace and happiness is to find the middle ground \u2013 the way that either works for both, or slightly doesn\u2019t work for either.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not that your fianc\u00e9 is vegan that is the problem, but that he is not willing to consider a compromise for your wedding where presumably half the guests will be carnivores.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is surprising given that he already allows meat in your house, and I am struggling to understand the reasoning behind his intransigence.\u00a0<\/p>\n You say a lot of his family are vegan, which means not all his family are vegan. I\u2019m sure they are adult enough to deal with people eating meat around them.<\/p>\n You need to get to the bottom of this with your husband, why he is so insistent, and then you need to reach a compromise that accommodates both of your families.\u00a0<\/p>\n This wedding is about both of you, and both of you have equal needs. Should he not have any willingness to compromise, I would suggest that you may have discovered his fatal flaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n Be very grateful to have discovered it before you got married rather than after.<\/p>\n
