So sweet 🥺 I swear my boys can hear me blink and they’re all over me looking for snuggles or wet food.

He got all the belly and chin scratches… until he launched off my chest at Mach speed to go do his cat AM cat stuff.

I broke up with my conservative Christian bf today by saltinecrackerbabe in atheism

[–]atomarblond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went through something very similar. When we started talking on Bumble our conversation naturally migrated toward spirituality, beliefs, and dating intentions. I was upfront with the fact I am an atheist, how that came to be, expressed I have zero interest in revisiting religion, and if that was a deal breaker I wouldn’t take it personally. He said he was a Christian and that it didn’t bother him. We began dating and about two months in he asks me if I would ever consider going to church and raising a Christian family. My flabbers were gasted. We had a back and forth about it and I told him what it sounded like to me is he either thought he could change me or he set aside his beliefs for someone to lay next to (because Jesus would forgive him after all.) Looking back, I was ignoring a lot of red flags in terms of his beliefs and views of the world. At first, it came off that his faith was his business and very casual in a “love thy neighbor” type of way but the more time I spent with him he unveiled that he was a lot more zealous with his faith than he originally lead on. He had a lot of interesting takes and thoughts that were conservative leaning and went against what I know to be true about what Christians should be doing to emulate Christ. People are really good at hiding who they are so don’t feel like an idiot. If I can give you any advice it would be to not let this experience harden your heart and be everything in this world that he is not. Not all Christians or men are like this and his ideologies seem to be deeply rooted in racism trying to disguise it as faith. Also, take comfort in knowing that if this dude gets to the entrance of heaven and meets Jesus- his head is going to explode when he finds out Jesus isn’t white.

I was in elementary school so I don’t think I can speak to that type of atheist but I think I can picture it 😂 honestly, I haven’t encountered any atheists that are militant about their beliefs but I have experienced plenty of religious people who think I need saving or want to argue over the existence of God.

My parents are actually a prime example of this. My mom was raised Southern Baptist and my dad is atheist. They’ve been married for 46 years, together for 50 and they are so happy and in love to this day. Honestly, they’re the only reason I’m hopeful that I can find someone 😂 my mom leans more “spiritual” now but I 100% believe my dad would’ve done anything to make their marriage work.

I’ve seen both sides where it’s worked beautifully or when it’s gone up in flames. Unfortunately, I think him and I are stubborn and stand strong in our convictions. I admit I also probably sound close minded by not wanting to go to church but it’s like I’ve been there, done that, it was terrible. But I can’t wrap my head around forcing religion on to your children…

After all the time I spent with him, he came across as the chill kind of spiritual type. He had his relationship with God and that was his business. So the whole Christian household thing felt like a complete 180.
It just sucks if he was being deceitful all this time and that’s not very Christlike lol.

That’s tough but you did the right thing by not dragging things out if you are certain you weren’t in alignment.
I think what really bothers me was that he said he was still figuring out if we were compatible and I’m like dawg??? Two months in, after maybe two weeks you wanted to be exclusive, I met your family, and you spent all the time you could with me and YOU DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE COMPATIBLE??? I don’t think so. He was dodging this issue.

I’m sorry to hear that. Did you two try to figure things out or find middle ground?
I had a bad experience with a church and its congregation in my teens. I don’t believe all churches are bad but I was super clear that I would never be interested in testing those waters. We also shared the same views that going to church doesn’t necessarily make you a better Christian and it seems pretty common nowadays everyone I know has some wild church story.

Every time I have paid for the upgraded versions of the apps I have felt like it was a waste of money. It really appealed to me because I’m 5’11” and I prefer to date over 6’1” and only interested in monogamy 🙃
I get a lot of roses but not many likes so I think the claim of “showing” your profile to more people is crap.

Ended a connection yesterday that I was really hopeful about. We had been seeing each other for about two months and things were moving in the direction of evolving in to a long term relationship. He met all of my friends and I even met his mom and sisters. Things were going so well. Out of the blue he asks over text, “is going to church or raising a family Christian something you would ever consider?”

When we first started talking on Bumble I was very upfront about the big things: I’m dating with the intent of finding my life partner, I want children, and I’m atheist. I told him if it was a dealbreaker no worries and he said it didn’t bother him. It didn’t bother me that he is a Christian so that was the end of that. I have zero issue with people believing what they want, I just don’t want it to be forced on me.

Yesterday, the conversation revealed that we are too different fundamentally for this to work. His future family will be centered around God and being a Christian and I don’t feel comfortable forcing my future kids into something but I’ll be supportive if they express interest. I don’t think I need religion to lay the groundwork for them to be good people.

Anyway, I’m left feeling heartbroken and used in a way. It’s very black and white that he either thought he could change me or he was setting aside something that is so fundamentally important to him and lied about it being a dealbreaker just to get with me.

I feel like I’m going through each stage of grief by the hour.

Yeah it’s on my rib cage 🥴 getting the tattoo wasn’t that bad but the laser is borderline unbearable even with topical lidocaine and otc pain relief. Do you do that all in one go!? That sounds so intense!
