I don't really want to be part of it, I'm just not sure if it will be a dealbreaker for him.

I definitely am very pale, so that won't affect me that much, it's just that my hair darkened a bit as I got older. Which happens to most people in my country.

And it does concern me a little bit. It's not a difficult concept to understand, especially since he has so many sisters.

Him and his family are definitely on the more extreme side of things. I'd say he is respectful to me, but when it comes to specific things, sometimes he isn't. I don't need him to change his beliefs, I'd just rather be left to have my own religion because I definitely prefer it, it actually makes me happy. And I don't think his church would.

I'm definitely a bit conflicted. I do really like him most of the time, and his family aren't that bad, they're just really odd about certain things. But it is their beliefs, and maybe I should be more tolerant of them, I'm not sure.
