MODERATORS
There's a great Carolyn Hax advice column from years ago where the writer's partner was vegetarian because he was actually allergic to meat.
Writer's family thinks it's a lie and sneaks meat into a meal. That results in a ride in the "screaming white bus," as Carolyn put it, to the hospital.
The writer defended her family and insisted it was just a joke, and partner was taking it too seriously. I've left out a lot of detail, but Carolyn basically tells the partner he should run from this relationship.
