My boyfriend doesn't go to church anymore but insists that me being catholic would be "ideal" because that's what he grew up with. Is this a normal request?
Search for the truth. Sometimes God calls people at different times. maybe this is or is not your time. Your calling will come one day.
No! I grew up with people like that and they seriously fucked with my mind.
I guess I'm an atheist, Buddhist, with a dash of magic unicorn sprinkles on top:)
No one should ever force you to believe in something you don't believe in. It's just not right! Put him in his place!
NO! tell him to stick his catholic beliefs up his ass.. no one should ever be pressured in changing to make someone else happy. EVER! if they dont love you for you, then they arent the right person for you.
Your beliefs are your beliefs no one should pressure you too think as they do.
Thank you for your input. I was totally blind sided by this and only thought this occurred on tv shows. ha. Of course I said no and he just kept saying you don't have to but if you WANT to... I definitely need to see how deeply rooted this is though. I know part of it is that he wants to get married in a catholic church because only then are you "married in the eyes of god." But the ceremonies are so damn long. I bet a relative is behind this as well...it doesn't seem like he's come up with this on his own randomly after 2 years of dating.
choose your beliefs based on what makes sense, not what the people around you believe.
no. I would recommend breaking up with him, because most abusive relationships start this way. Or, at least, this is how my parents relationship started. Dad's currently in for life.
