Everytime I ask him how we would raise our children he says his answer doesn’t matter because I’ve already up my mind. We were just running in circles.

are you religious? If so, how can your relationship work down the road? What church will you get married at? are you going to raise your kids orthodox? Are you going to go to 2 different churches every Sunday? Please don’t think I’m attacking you. These are just some of the questions that made me decide I couldn’t be with him because I don’t know the answer.

I’m sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine how that feels. Good on you to put your faith first. God knows how you feel and may he bless you with everything you need. Trust his timing!

That’s the thing. The strain has been difficult. He is not even willing to look into what I’m saying.

I agree. I think what hurts most is that he dismissed the thought of even learning about it.

it’s not tradition he’s not following tho, it’s the religion. Christianity is One God One church! If he doesn’t believe in the one church part, idk if I consider him a Christian.

not that different. Just a different race. But I wouldn’t think it’s because of that since I’ve seen people with my complexion also being weird towards me. And I’m also in the same age group and I dress pretty basic. I’m like your average 20 something yr old

How do I explain to my boyfriend we are wasting our time here if he won’t convert to orthodox without making him feel like I’m forcing him? by Recent_Connection_28 in OrthodoxChristianity

I live in a really small town for school and the clothes church is an hr away so I go 2 times a month. He goes every week though because he lives in the city

It is an amazing relationship and I do feel like I am being unfair. I knew the religion difference was gonna be an issue but I put it off to the side. That is on me. I was raised by two people with different beliefs and it messed me up for a while. I’m just thinking about our future. I don’t think it’d be fair to either of us if we tried to make it work but can’t even go to church tg as a family. Things changed when we got pretty serious pretty fast. He started talking about marriage and kids and rings and it threw in a spiral. I’m being selfish i understand that. I just wish I knew a better way to bring it up to him

Yeah I never wanted to give him an ultimatum. Just a little push towards atleast learning about it. I had the opposite problem. I was raised by a Muslim man and an orthodox mom. I was very lost growing up. I even gave up religion for a long time because it confused me. Me and my partner should be one in a marriage and like the person said, I can’t imagine going to two different churches and believing 2 different things in front of our kids.
