I used to date a strict vegetarian who made a big deal about wanting me to stop eating meat. I tried, but I never could figure out what I could eat. Then I started dating my wife, who was sort of vegetarian and an excellent cook, and suddenly I was eating vegetarian almost exclusively without even noticing. Plus she did not care if I ate meat or not, which is part of why I married her and not the former girlfriend. Few people like being controlled...

This sounds a lot like me and my H, except with me in your wife's role. I'm vegetarian but didn't expect H to be one. But it's easier just to make meals that we both eat. And he seems content to eat vegetarian much of the time. He even often chooses to order a black bean burger (a housemade one at a local restaurant) or some other vegetarian options when we're out. He'll still often get meat out, but will often say he doesn't feel that well if he's had a burger or meatball sub. Then there's my D, who just eats the burger or hot dog off the bun...But she also likes some stuff like hummus, so maybe there's hope...
