have you ever been in a mixed religion relationship where confronting your partner about things that are important to you in your belief, and the impossibility from the other partner to make compromise in that field lead you to doubt about your own faith and get you to try to accept his point of view to save the relationship ...and then if you breakup in the middle of the process you find yourself balancing between the 2 faiths and unable to retrieve your spiritual identity for a while ..?

Not directly however; if this experience where to occur now I would know how I would handle it.
First of all; I choose not to judge the beliefs of another, whether I personally agree with it completely/ some/ or not at all. I would keep an open mind and gladly accept the knowledge that one may gain from listening.
Next; I would not compromise my personal beliefs on any other merit unless it was solely by my personal choice. The reason being is that I feel when one compromises what is true for self and accepts the truth of another just to maintain a relationship will most likely begin to breakdown with time. Maybe not 100% however; I feel the odds are strong enough.
Finally; it all depends on the persons involved that will determine the choices one makes.

Nearly all of my relationships have been 'mixed faith'. I have NEVER confronted a partner on religious matters. But not everyone that I've been with has been as accepting.
It comes down to respect and being strong enough in yourself to accept that another point of view is valid. Both partners need to do that, whether it's about politics or religion or preferred Saturday afternoon activities.

Oh no Ive never found my self in such a situation.
Even tho I am in love with a man of a different faith.
That would only happen if I havent fully logically explained each and every bit of my religious convictions to myself. For the mind and the heart need to work hand in hand. Its not always true that the heart alone can be enough in faith.
Your brain must have a logical reasoning for your beliefs and your actions. Unless you do, you will be challenged by people whose faith has more logical reasoning put into it.
But for you, I would hope that you pray to God to find the truth and start learning your religion from scratch. Going over every issue, going deeper into every point that could arouse suspicion in you, and if you cant find anything that satiates your appetite for knowledge and logical reasoning, then I suggest you look elsewhere.
All in all, its not a great place to be in.
Hope you come out ok.
God bless.

you're meant to be the two yoked which includes your better half. mixing religions in a relationship is a recipe for catastrophe, there is no compromise while it includes your faith. in case you have faith in Allah, you greater advantageous shop believing in Allah. in diverse religions we are taught that one and all different ideals are incorrect for this reason a non believer of your faith is going to have some very convincing arguments to get you to question your guy or woman faith. There are some contradictory issues in each faith it is the place faith is offered in initially. you will discover your way returned and God will direct your direction. Its in all danger a reliable element you broke up although simply by fact if this relationship had led to a marriage, the subsequent combat could've been the thank you to strengthen the youngsters. Its merely not worth it. remember, you and your better half would desire to be the two yoked.

Years ago (I'm talking 20) I was a Seventh Day Adventist Youth and my boyfriend was Muslim. Things happen, as they do regardless of religious piousness, and I became pregnant. I chose to abort my pregnancy, not because of my beliefs, but because of his ... as a Muslim it was far more detrimental to maintain one's virginity than as a Seventh Day Adventist - we could accept human weakness. In hindsite, I should of stood up to him and his culture - he was the youngest of 4 brothers so therefore was the lowest in the pecking order. Basically, we had nothing. I was young and in love and made a decision that kept my boyfriend in good faith within his community.
