I gave up meat when I started to practice Buddhism probably because I had guilt issuses from my pass. Being part of a meat eating family my vegetarianism was causing problems so having dealt with my guilt I have returned to eating meat and have more harmonious home life.

Hi Fletcher
I can well understand. My husband eats meat and it is of course his decision always. However, it has been quite a thing for us to adjust to over the past couple of months. He says he is ok with me becomeing a vegetarian but is also awkward. He always used to cook for us both, now we cook separate meals. I think it will take a little more time for us to get used to it. So it does cause changes in family life which are tougher than I ever realised they would be.
