Part Time Vegetarian? Not!

What is it with the hop-on-board vegetarians? I have a dysfunctional girlfriend who tries to replicate the lifestyle of each guy she is with while bitching the whole time. I guess the bitching is just a bonus to the complaints she makes about the guy not caring about her life. ‘scuse me? How would he know as she doesn’t live her life but a smaller dysfunctional version of his life? Anyway back to the part-time vegetarian thing.

We are in a restaurant ordering lunch. She makes a big deal out of nothing on the menu being vegetarian friendly. Note to the readers, I went vegetarian for more than 3-years until my meat-eater voice became too large to ignore and now my waist line is expanding along with the meat eating. It is not like I don’t understand the challenges of not eating something with a face but I never felt the need to broadcast it to the waiter. It was always fairly simple to customize some dish on the menu to satisfy my vegetarian choice. In any case, my DGF (dysfunctional girlfriend) is going on and on about the menu not having anything on it she can order. And then she orders the chicken pasta menu item. DGF blithely shares with the waiter that sometimes she eats chicken (or bacon or cheese or milk products in my experience). What the hell? I can see it in the waiter’s eyes that he really doesn’t care what she orders and long as she orders.

DGF never misses a chance to lecture me about her vegetarianism, how hard it is and without skipping a breath, bitching about the boyfriend’s style of eating. How it gives her gas or the poopies or something else I don’t care to hear about. Argh, I know it is better to just not pick up those cell phone calls from DGF but some self-inflicting misery bot in my brain can’t help itself. Okay back to subject.

You are not a vegetarian if you eat meat. That includes chicken, fish, bacon (really it is a pig product) or any other animal meat. Yeah, I know there are many levels of vegetarianism but this is pointed at my DGF. And while we are at it, don’t be a hypocrite by wearing leather or fur coats unless you are doing it purely for the health benefit. Okay that is enough off my generous chest for now.
