So my brother(m39) is very very angry with me(f40). He has been with his fiancée (f25) for 2 years and since then every family gathering with them included has been 100% vegan and the reason is that his fiancée can’t “be around meat”. Honestly, I never found it an issue, I love vegan foods and I don’t believe one vegan meal would kill you. We have had one vegan Christmas at my parents (the other Christmas they celebrated with her family) anyway not all were indifferent about that as I was and I heard gossip and complaints. I just usually grab some popcorn.
Unfortunately the drama this time is about me. I’m turning 40 in two weeks and I have made reservations in a restaurant. I sent the invitations. My brother immediately answered that I have forgotten “the rule”. On further inquiry he explained that the restaurant wasn’t vegan. I said that I knew that but that it had vegan options that looked delicious. One of my closest friends is vegan too and I put her and SIL in mind when choosing but most importantly I put myself in mind and I really liked the restaurant.
He called me angry and yelling telling me they always knew I didn’t like her. What are you talking about of course I like your fiancée. Now family is in the middle siding with me vs little bro. His fiancee is very upset at him as well as at me and saying I never liked her. Even told him that she couldn’t be with him if his family hated her like that so he is very angry and telling me I am ruining his relationship
