i mean your relationship with a significant other.. why did it? was it really worth losing that person? just asking because in my previous question i had mentioned that i'm pagan and my other is irish catholic. we respect each other but i don't want religion to come between us. please don't leave nasty answers either because there were a couple in that other question(like saying i should be prepared for him to leave me.) thanks for the feedback.
ps-i'd also like to hear about if you are of different faiths and it's working out too.

Yes. I'm devote Catholic and one of my last pagan boyfriends (more guys here are pagan then Christian) couldn't handle the fact that I went to church once a week. I never preached to him, made him pray or dragged him with me, but he didn't like the fact that I would go to church first and then stop by his house. We broke up because I didn't want anyone who didn't respect my beliefs and he told me to stop going to church.

Not my married relationship, but the difference of friendships and past intimate relationships...yes.
The reason that is....you should live your life by what you believe.
If any other way...your just a hypocrite to your own faith.
Your beliefs affect the way you live your life. Your lifestyle is based upon your beliefs. If two people of different faiths are in love they will co-inside eventually once the "cloud 9" feeling is gone. Somebody is going to have to make a lifestyle/religious change if it is going to continue to work. Or you can be of separate faiths, but one will be a hypocrite to his/her own faith/belief. And they might as well not claim them to that faith.
Sorry, sometimes the message you need to hear is the message you wanted to hear the least.

A woman I really loved tried to pull a Bible Nazi intervention with a couple, that was supposed to be a social get-together. Even though I cared about her deeply, trust was lost and the relationship died. She actually thought a couple of delusional twits could convince me to throw out rationality and embrace delusional superstitionism.

No. While I would date people of other denominations, I know in my heart I could only be happy married to someone who shares my Catholic beliefs.
However, I do live next door to a couple who are different religions.They are now in their 60s and have been married for many years and have 3 children. He is Catholic, she is Free-Will Baptist, their children are Church Of Christ, Free Will Baptist and Pentecostal respectively.

As an Atheist it replaced into all about me. the in elementary words room for others replaced into what i ought to appreciate the courting. once i ought to now not benefit some thing then i replaced into off searching for my next restoration. The self dependent vanity on my own is adequate to smash any courting.

before She died my wife started going to this particular Church and so one Sunday I went with her. She introduced me to a couple of people and the first thing they said to me was " you're going to Hell. " I was dressed up and was wearing a Fraternal Organization lapel pin. after Church services I told her if She wanted to keep going I wouldn't complain but that I would never ever under any circumstances set foot in that Church again -- and I didn't even after She died.

Significant others:
God has ruined or discontinued relationships that were not right for me, and He has strengthened the one that is. It could not be a better thing.
All others:
God has healed, restored, and strengthened my other relationships.
He always works all things together for our good and His glory.

No. It has always taught me to respect others and this has brought me closer to people and made existing relationship stronger. I am a Muslim
