redant Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I talked to my SO of 4 mnths over the phone since he is away about our different views. I believe in God. He comes from a very Catholic oriented country and despises organized religion and is more into new age and this guy Stitchen. ok whatever he thought I should read his book. I read about this guy some and I am just not interested in that view. I don't know all the answers. My SO automatically assumed I wanted to break up. Mentioned not being able to have kids because he doesnt want them raised in the church etc. I never mentioned that. Maybe it would be easier or ideal if as a family we could all go to church, but it's not a must. ANyway. I'm just wondering if I confronted him too strongly it's only been 4 months but I started thinking about our diff views etc. and how if I can respect his views he should respect mine. Also outsiders are telling me I am not in "love" I don't know if I am or if I am not letting myself fall because I want a real thing. We are both in our late 30's. Should I call and tell make it clear that I wasn't wanting to break up? Is this a big deal? Thanks.
Trialbyfire Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Sitchen's an interesting read but I wouldn't take it for gospel. But then, I don't take the Bible for gospel... If the two of you are extremists in your beliefs, this can only cause you friction in the future. If the two of you are more centrists, whereby you can respect each other's beliefs and can both compromise when it comes to children, I can't see it being that big a deal.
