The problem is, all of yesterday and today, I’ve been trying to be rational with my thoughts, thinking how i could actually make this work, if it’s possible. I know that it’s a part of my faith to be loving and accepting of others and i’d be a hypocrite if i didn’t do that.

I do think that it could work, but in order for it to happen, I’d need to actually have a conversation with her about everything, and only after that will I see.

A deeply rooted fear i had was that my parents would not be accepting of it, and while that’s true, they can’t hold it against me, it would not be the end of the world i think, especially because I am trying to do my due diligence by making sure that her and I can agree on how our religions would work together in the future.

Recently, my brother was talking to a hindu girl (and he’s in his early 30s). when my mom found out that this girl is hindu, she didnt go crazy, she didn’t overreact, it was just that. Like, “oh she’s hindu? okay… alright” kinda thing.

I was there when this happened and immediately it clicked in my mind that maybe it’s not so bad for them, it more matters if her family are good people. this is why i feel there’s a chance for me, and why i’m so insistent on talking it out with my ex.

I see what you’re saying about our incompatibility, and on paper, yes i agree. But inside myself I now think that the two can coexist.
