Ignore your Mom.
Like Lurkette's situation, my wife is a vegetarian and I am a meat eater... There is never an issue at home and only occasionally do we arrive at a family dinner where my wife can't eat the entree... she just fills up on the side dishes (ie salad, carrots, etc and no Turkey).
What if she was a diabetic and couldn't have sugar? Oh my God! Stay away from her because you like sugar and she can't eat sugar... what will happen when the dessert trolley comes around and she doesn't partake? It will be the end of the world.
