Anyone else married to a non-vegan/ vegetarian?

Hi,
I've been using this site for awhile, but I'm ready to use it more now, and have found it really helpful.

I've been a vegetarian most of my adult life (I cried as a kid over eating meat!), and before I lived with my husband was pretty much vegan - with absolutely no effort put into it at all!  I never even thought about it, and always felt satisfied by my food choices.  My husband is a big guy from Minnesota, and although is open and understanding of my eating habits, it just doesn't work for him personally!  Which I respect, but I really would like to have family meals now that my daughter is getting older (she is 3), and it seems like the only thing that makes us all happy is spaghetti - which is getting boring, and has also made me 15 lbs. heavier than I was pre-marriage.  Or else we just all go our own way at night, and my husband will end up fixing himself a frozen meal. 

Is there anyone else out there that has dealt with this lifestyle issue?  For the wives out there, do you and your husband cook seperate meals?  So far, this site has helped quite a bit in trying to be more creative making hearty vegan meals.  I'm just curious if anyone else has dealt with this.

I was married to a meat eater. I was veggie at the time and it worked ok.  MY EX is a pretty picky eater though and he admits that if I were vegan when we met that he would never have dated me. Now that I am back on the dating scene the person has to be at least veggie, preferably vegan
