GRRRRR! (yeah, it's me again)

My boyfriend broke up with me tonight because I'm a Christian. He didn't say it outright but he said in a NOTE (yeah, that jerk didn't even tell me face-to-face) that we were too different. He was an atheist and when I started inviting him to Youth Group, he stopped coming over. And when I talked about God, he would get uneasy.

I know I did the right thing, but then I figured out he had a GIRLFRIEND before he broke up with me. So technically, even if he was planning to break up with me, he shouldn't have had another girlfriend.

HELP ME!

And yeah, I know about the "We will have trials and tribulations in this world" thing. So don't throw it at me. Not that it didn't help...it did. But I already got that one ^^

In all honesty Aelita, the best thing you can do is just let it go, its not worth being upset over. You will find someone that will really love you and have the same faith.

I fail to see the problem? He couldn''t tolerate your beliefs and you couldn't tolerate his, better off this way.

The whole religion thing can be tricky. It's like, lets say, I'm christian and my girlfriend is jewish. If she wants me to go to temple with her alot and starts talking about religion alot yea I'm going to get pretty uncomfortable. It's a balancing act that is pretty hard. Also since he was cheating you were right to break it off. Don't worry too much. Honestly if faith is as important to you as it seems Highway is right, you will find someone you like who you wont have this problem with.

I agree with Piper.


Somewhere in teh New Testament Paul talks about this...Basically, he compares a relationship to an oxplow. One person following Christ while the other is not is being "unequally yoked" with morality, standards, and the like.

Hoped that helped.


Oh, and the guy sounds like a jerk.

I think if your girl/boy friend has a diffrent religion, you should try to aviod it, but don't get into long discussions on religion. You need to be somwhat comftorable about talking about others religion. This person obviously wasn't comftorable, and when you invited him to the yahoo group, he didn't want to. I can stand people talking about thier god, everyone can have an opinion. But if they try to get me to participate in thier type of prayer, i refuse, because i don't belive in thier god.

With your next boyfriend, talk lightly about god if thier religion is diffrent, but don't try to make them go to church with you or invite them into a christian group.
