Tonight, I might start eating meat again...
Lost sight of the reason why I'm a vegetarian, and social pressure from my rural culture, and my boyfriend have me wanting to conform again... thoughts or advice?

I think its a bad idea. go back through all the reasons you decided to become vegetarian in the first place. Get online and watch animal cruelty videos on factory farms and look at brochures if you have them. I live in a rural area in Kentucky and there are hardly any vegetarians here besides myself. So I go on facebook and get on the vegetarian pages to get support. My husband is a meat eater and he's very supportive, I don't know why your bf would have a problem with you not eating meat. Its healthier for you anyway. Don't give up. We are all the animals have. When you start craving meat, just go buy some fake meat. I know some people are down on it but its better than taking life, right? And remember you have people who support you all the way here. :0)

If you want to be vegetarian it's your choice. Don't let any one tell you not to be vegetarian. I made that mistake before I listened to people who told me not to be vegetarian and I wasn't happy. Now im not listening to anyone who tells me not to be veggie think about it

Jared, I totally agree to what Jenny Matzke said.. Go through all the reasons that brought you to be vegetarian since the beginning! How can you loose an idea why you became vegetarian? I think it's enough for example to watch one animal cruelty video, and you will very quickly remember WHY you became vegetarian :) And about your boyfriend... you know, everyone is free to choose what he wants to be... And no one can force you to be something you dont want to be!!! With all my love and support... Hugz!!

Bah, I don't believe that you Jared Nally would ever give in to pressure.
You don't need meat, you've said it yourself.
If you want to eat it cause you want to eat it, that's your choice and no one can really change your mind.
If you eat meat cause other people want you to, then you'll regret it.

Sounds like you wanna give in to what OTHERS want for you. There is no mention of YOUR desire to eat meat? By what you have written, it sounds like you would regret the decision of conforming, and later resent your boyfriend for "pressuring you to do it." JUST SAY NO....
However, if you fall off the wagon...just pick yourself up and start over :)
