How do I balance out my vegetarian diet and my families?

I have gone to work full time to support my family while my husband has gone to school. I work from home, but am tied to my computer for 10 hours a day and my husband has taken over the household chores and homeschooling our son for the next year until he is done.

The problem is, I have always cooked. Now, I have been a vegetarian since my husband and I have met and he has always been an avid meat eater. When I was cooking all the time, I would give him some meat with his dinner a couple of times a week - and bought lunch meat for his lunches and the rest of the time I would make veggie dishes only. He cant eat cheese or dairy - so I have always in this regard had to substitute this for him (as I still drink organic and free range milk).

Anyway now that he is cooking - he says he won't make vegetarian dishes. No tofu. None of "that". I don't think it is fair! I work 10 hours a day - 7 days a week! Am I being unfair to ask him to throw an artichoke in for me? Cook some extra rice?

Absolutely not! My husband and I are in the same situation as a veggie and meat eater. I curently am talking about going back to work and this is our situation as well with dinner. It's not that he's against making mine veg, but more unwilling. It's gonna take a lot of planning and recipes and menu write-ups on your part to help him understand it can be done and how easy it can be. Is your husband unwilling because he feels he'd be making two meals? Or is he against you being veg? There has to be more to this issue than the surface and you need to get to the bottom of it or else, you'll be more stressed with work added on. Good luck and hope it works out for the better!
