I've always subscribed to the philosophy that I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain just to eat veggies. I eat what I want.
However, my sister became a vegetarian - still is to this day, except when she's pregnant and going through the "cravings" that pregnant women get. She married a committed meat-eater, and they did just fine with the differences in their eating lifestyles.
One thing you might want to realize early on is this: the odds are, she won't be willing to cook your food if it's meat.
From where I stand, that's pretty fair. Don't expect it from her, and she'll be more likely to do it more often than she would if you were determined that she should cook every meat meal for you.
Like most vegetarians I know, my sister evenutally became nauseated by the smell of meat - raw, cooked, it didn't matter. So give your girlfriend a bit of space; give your Mother a reality-check and tell her that dietary habits do not make or break a marriage...
........and that she really needs to pay more attention to her own life instead of meddling in yours.
