Vegetarian wanting to change her diet

Hi I'M,
This might sound like a weird question, but I need some help with starting to eat chicken again.
I've been a vegetarian for over 6 years. I stopped eating meat because the taste made me nauseous.
The only meat I could enjoy was chicken but I grew tired of that quickly and stopped eating meat altogether. Now being a vegetarian is becoming too difficult since I now have a family of my own.
My fiancé is a big meat eater - mostly chicken. So it becomes difficult finding meals where I can easily make a vegetarian alternative as well. It also means more of a clean up.
Going to restaurants suck because there's usually only one vegetarian meal on the menu.
My health is fine but only if I take supplements and I'd rather not continue to rely on them.
And it'd be cheaper since we buy our meat in bulk and the vegetarian products can be pricey.

But my problem is, every time my partner offers me some chicken, I feel nauseous. I don't know why, but I physically can get myself to try some of it even though I want to.

So, I'm asking for advice from ex vegetarians. What motivated you to start eating meat again? Did you start eating all meat, or just one type? Was it better for you? And what was your reason for becoming a vegetarian?
Please help me to not be so stubborn!

Thanks I'm advanced :)

This is me all over. I would still be a vego now if my husband didn't eat meat!! For me I became a vegetarian because the thought of eating an animal sickened me. Now I eat chicken and occasionally beef but I have to do it without thinking because the second I think about the fact that it's an animal, I just can't eat it. No matter how much I want to. Even eggs sometimes.... My best advice is to start with small meat portions and eat quickly without making a big deal about what you're eating... Treat it like any other meal, do whatever you normally do just don't bring up the meat thing lol good luck!
