It’s the age old question – how far would you go for a person you love?
Many claim that they’d take a bullet for their other half, while others promise to stop drinking, smoking or eating excessively to please their partner.
It’s a tough time when you’re living with someone and trying not to annoy them with your peculiar habits – be that letting the dog sleep in your bed, leaving the bin pile up with rubbish or not emptying the dishwasher when it’s finished. (Guilty).
In the long list of petty, divisive things that can make a couple argue or even split up, the number one item that people choose over their relationship has been revealed and it’s pretty surprising.
As part of a study carried out by YouGov, people admitted that they’d rather move away for their partner, stop smoking, quit drinking or even leave their job than stop eating MEAT. Seriously?
As part of a study done on 1,652 people, 62% of subjects confessed that they’d be unwilling to go vegetarian for their partner, with a measly 24% saying they’d quit meat if it meant that much to their other half.
Under the study carried out, 13% of people said they wouldn’t move house for their husband or wife, 18% said they wouldn’t stop smoking, 28% said they wouldn’t move abroad for their other half and 40% said they wouldn’t stop drinking to save their relationship.
While the survey was carried out in the UK, we can’t help but wonder what the percentage of Irish people who’d give up meat for their partner would be.
I can’t imagine any of the Mammies I know being too pleased at hearing the word vegetarian…
Would you stop eating meat for your other half?
