This is actually how relationships work. When we love someone, we are willing to sacrifice for that special person, and vice versa. And, if it is for our good, for example giving up bad habits like eating junk food or playing computer games, then it doesn't matter. But what if it is something difficult to part with?
A twenty-two-year-old man has recently shared a dilemma he faced after his vegan GF wanted him to give away his pet. They have been dating for 7 months, and everything seemed to be a wonderful journey of the two. They shared many things in common, and they even thought of moving in together.
That was when the problem started. As a vegan, the GF assumed that owning a pet violated the principles of veganism, but the point was that her BF was having a cat. She decided to have a conversation with him to speak out what she really wanted him to do. As you could expect, she told the BF to give his cat, Mitten, away. Otherwise, there'd be no way their relationship could continue.
The man, however, wasn't ready to give up on his beloved pet. He said that his GF's extreme opinion wasn't persuasive enough. He later posted on r/relationship_advice to ask for help from Netizens. Have a look at the full post here.

Many users said that the situation was about control, not veganism. It seemed like the GF was trying to manipulate her BF instead of learning to cherish him and his hobbies.
The GF's opinion on owning domestic animals wasn't representative of the entire vegan community.
Overall, netizens think that the man breaking up with his GF is a wise decision. If they were him, they would do the same.
