to request that we do not go near each other for a couple of days until all the "meat" has been processed throughout his system?
I mean, I can't imagine kissing him after that, or being nearby when any bodily functions erupt ... I'm going to ask him to use the guest bathroom too.
I am a vegetarian, AND DON'T MIND WHEN HE EATS REGULAR MEAT, but it's this "game" meat that really truly grosses me out about this situation.
I gave him no problem about going, so he should give me no problem about this request, right?
Thanks for your opinion!

I totally agree with you! I wouldn't kiss him and he should respect that.

Well, I'm curious as to why "game" meat is different? I mean at least those animals are living wile, the way they were meant to not just bred to go to slaughter.
I think it's a bit of an over-reaction since you admitted that you are OK when it's not a "gaming" dinner. Unless there is something else that I'm not understanding. I do understand your views as a vegetarian, and still it doesn't make sense as to why you'd want so much space until the meat has been processed through his system. If you don't act that way when he eats a cheeseburger or a steak.

Why is game meat any more repulsive than "regular meat"? I would think vegetarians would actually prefer people hunt for their food because the animals lived a normal, happy life until "the day".
I personally think you are being a fruitcake about the whole thing. But I suspect he knew that you were when he married you. Why on earth would a man marry a freak-o vegetarian? You must be REALLY hot or good at something for him to put up with this.
You won't even let him dump it in your "regular" toilet?
Honey, you are nuts. Sorry.

It's interesting that you have a greater issue with game meat than meat from livestock. I don't really understand why venison, for example, provokes a stronger negative in you than beef or pork.
To me game meat is actually superior. First, with game meat you don't have to be concerned about all the hormones and whatever they inject or feed the animals in most farms nowadays. In a way, it is organic meat. As long as it is properly butchered there really shouldn't be any issue. Second, on a humanitarian level, if we are to kill an animal would it not be better that it lives its life free in the wild rather in a disgusting, cramped, feces laden commercial farm? Free-range chickens are generally held to be superior from an animal rights perspective than keeping the birds in pens, so hunting, to me, takes the free range principle to its logical extreme.
I'm sorry, but it does not make much sense to me that you would be willing to kiss the guy after eating a fast food burger at McDonald's with who-knows-what in it, but you would not be willing to if he had a little venison. It seems like you are drawing a moral line in the sand at a pretty arbitrary point. If you can tolerate him eating some meat, game meat should not be treated in an inherently different fashion.

Game meat is the most healthy meat one can eat. Pure natural with nothing in there like hormones or medicines the farmer may have had to give the animal. Not to mention what livestock gets in some of the feed they are given.
Not kissing your man after he has eaten game meat is one of the most ridiculous things I ever heard of. Not allowing him to come near you after eating game is THE most ridiculous think I ever heard.
I was raised on a cattle ranch and we had all the prime beef we could eat but my family preferred elk and moose to the best beef and dad kept the freezers full of it. Wild game really is that good.
Your man must really love you to put up with such stupidity on your part. For that you are lucky.

If you guys are doing anything in your marriage that makes you not want to go near each other, as you put it, why are you doing it? Sorry, I know that is answering a question with a question, but I was just curious.
Maybe you should explain to him how personnaly offensive you find this without being anymore negative than you have to and he will be willing to reconsider going. It may be too late for him to bow out tonight so maybe you could suggest that after tonight you wish he wouldn't attend these anymore.
Past that, if you are willing to let him go without telling him how you really feel about it, then I think you need to buck up and just deal with the after effects. :( Pardon the pun.
I just know that my spouse would be very, very offended if I told them I didn't want them to be near me for a couple of days. No matter how I worded it.
Good luck!!

If he can't go near you for a couple of days because he ate meat, you are pathetic. If you don't want to eat it, that is fine, but to tell your husband he can't come near you until it is out of your system, how did you even find a husband in the first place?
He should definitely not accept this, he now has choose between time with his wife, or eating the food of his choice, you are PATHETIC. God Bless that man for putting up with nonsense like this!

With all due respect, that's just crazy. You're waaaaaaaaaaay too OCD about this. Have you forgotten that since the dawn of human existence , people ate as much meat as they could,? yeah , it was all wild meat. Focus on the fact that you have a husband coming home to you( lots of women would trade w/ you in a flash), and forget what he ATE!

You are the one with the problem, not him!
You eat what you want and expect to not be treated as someone who "grosses him out", so let him eat what he wants and stop trying to punish or penalize him for it!
If being around someone who eats meat "grosses you out" so much, why did you marry someone who likes to eat meat? That makes no sense!

how long have you been with this man? was he like this when you met him? don't try to change him over something so minuet as this. you are going to have worse problems than this. some things are better left unsaid. besides that, a vegetarians bowels work overtime digesting those beans so where do you think all that gas goes. my guess is under the covers at night when you're sleeping.

Blah lady. Your concern is about the meat. At least dude is not cheating on you or something. How do you know he doesn't get all grossed out about your vegetarian diet.?
