Apologies for not being clear, I meant that I would hope just being vegan might subconsciously influence people to think about it, but I wouldn't hold any expectation or pressure them. It would be more of a hope that I have but I guess it wouldn't affect how I act or behave in any way. Is that still a deal-breaker?
It's not like I would actually try to change them in any way, though. What if I never mentioned it?
I don't think it's an easy thing, not to mention that it would be better for both if both had the same diet and lifestyle choices (obviously being vegan). For me, being vegan is not just that, but also the only morally right thing to do. So, if my partner wouldn't at least be vegetarian, this would be so hard, and I'd, at some point, just break up if I notice they don't understand what all of this is about.
