According to Katie Parker, author of the blog "Veggie and the Beast" and The High-Protein Vegetarian Cookbook, that is absolutely a myth.
Parker's husband grew up hunting deer, turkeys, ducks and more, while she's been a vegetarian from a very young age.
Sure, it can be hard to maintain that sort of lifestyle when you live with someone who doesn't share your vision. But, if you can share the process by cooking together -- and making foods that you both enjoy -- it can work.
Another trick is to make meals that are both filling and delicious. That way, your non-vegetarian partner can still feel fulfilled. Remember, "vegetarian" doesn't mean eating just salads or "rabbit food." You can make truly yummy options like pastas, pizza, burgers and soups.
Some high-protein vegetarian ingredient options include beans, nuts and nut butter, and a variety of grains (quinoa, barley, millet).
