paddletennis Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 He broke up with me (him 62 me 53). We got engaged in July after dating only 2 1/2 months. On our first date he asked my faith, and I answered "spiritual". He is a born again Christian (30 + years). Well little did I know that 8 months later that would be a dealbreaker. Now, we have had problems, but nothing that couldn't be worked out. He says he needs to follow his path as a Christian, and since I'm not Christian, our relationship wouldn't work long term. He has been very nice about the whole thing, but I am in so much pain. In my head I know it probably would not work, but my heart misses him and the closeness so much. I am in a world of hurt...any words of wisdom for me?
Enema Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 As much as you liked some aspects of him, the fundamental religiot side of him would cause you innumerable problems as you went on. At this stage of your life, better not to waste time and emotion on sure-fail eh? Sure, it'll hurt for a while, but you will be happier this way in the long run.
Justmike101 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Imagine Jesus sitting on a table with the usual people in the neighborhood. During the meal, one of the woman mentions that she is a prostitute. Jesus flips the table and tells her to get out of his holy place. No Jesus didn't do that nor would he. If in his conviction he did not want to pursue a relationship with a non-Christian, so to not be unequally yoked, he should have been clear about it from get go, not wait till marriage proposal. What he did was not Christ-like nor biblical. He's just a prick and ill-informed about the scripture. Carry on sister there are plenty more wonderful things in life to look forward to.
