AITA for being annoyed at the constant digs at me for being vegetarian?
i have been vegetarian for 5 years. i don’t and have never rubbed it in anyone’s face, tried to force people to convert to my diet, or even preached why im vegetarian unless im pressed about it.
in the case of my boyfriend now he became vegetarian because i told him i was, he asked why, and he said he thinks i’m right and now he no longer purchases meat. i told him that’s great, but he still eats meat that’s offered to him sometimes and i have not once shown any issue with this. my friends eat meat, my family eats meat, my coworkers eat meat, i don’t know a single full vegetarian other than myself personally and i have never tried to change anyone’s mind on it.
my family, namely my dad, thinks it is funny to bring it up every chance they get that i am apparently controlling and think i’m better than everyone else. as for just last night, at the dinner table my dad started saying that he was going to start ”sneaking my boyfriend cheeseburgers” in the middle of the night since i “won’t let him eat meat”. if my boyfriend refuses meat around him he immediately says “don‘t be like her, eat the meat” and if he goes for something plant based “hey bud, that’s the vegetarian stuff, you don’t want that”.
at some point i said “i don’t ever tell people what they can and can’t eat, why do you keep acting like i do? i think it’d be great if everyone stopped eating meat but im not forcing anyone to.” and in response someone picked up their plate with meat on it and said “don’t you dare take this from me!” and everyone started laughing. it’s so frustrating. it feels like everything i say just goes in one ear and out the other. i told my mom i am tired of these comments about me and she said to stop being so sensitive. am i just being sensitive? AITA?
