Yeah, I told her before the fact. It's not the first time I've had the urge to eat meat, but it was the first time I went through on it since I gave it up.
Her attitude has always been, "You're a big boy; it's your choice," which, to be honest, is really the only way we are together with most things. We tend not to make heavy demands on one another.
She had been through a traumatic experience a while back with animal cruelty and it changed her outlook toward animals forever. I didn't - and don't - really have the same overarching objections toward meat as she (though I do agree with several of her main points), but at the time wanted to show her as much support as I could.
This is not to say I'm back to being a full fledged "meat-eater" by any stretch - and certainly not in her presence - but I do think I have to examine my own beliefs and find the balance that's right for me.
Yeesh - sorry to ramble on. Heavy thoughts in the Nihil house tonight.

It's allowed. I like to consider myself a philosophical vegetarian. I really would put the thing into practice if I didn't love my burgers so dang much.

nailed the porch decking on the house since we couldn't nail the subfloor down due to rain. And went to pick up seven windows on sale (how I'm getting everything). Then, I returned to do major cleanup on site, cut some grass, and took pics with my lovely and talented wife.
