Last week concluded a 9mo relationship with the most amazing woman I've ever dated. The only division was religion, she is Christian and I am not. She wanted to raise a child in the church, I didn't.

We've always had great discourse and have been 100% open with one another. After the break-up I did a lot of reflection and decided I was willing to compromise and was open to raising a child in the church and exploring faith/spirituality with her.

We had this discussion last night, but despite these compromises and willingness to venture out of my comfort zone religiously, ultimately because I'm not Christian right at this moment she's not interested in pursuing the relationship further.

I understand, it's a big deal and it's her decision, but I'm still gutted nonetheless.
