When my wife and I went to Iceland a year ago, my wife was worried about being able to find halal food, in particular lamb. So before we left she asked me if I would be comfortable with being the one who had to do the slaughtering, because she doubted that the small coastal town we would be staying in had a halal butcher/super market, given that we would probably be doubling the towns muslim population upon arrival. "luckily" i didn't end up having to do the slaughtering, but it did make me question if our family should go vegetarian for a while.
If she's asking you to do it? Yes most definitely should think about passing on meat. I love my partners but short of a survival situation I'm not killing something for them to enjoy the taste of. There's plenty of food they can eat that doesn't require suffering to indulge in.
