My Boyfriend and I are coming up to 1 yr of being together. He's Great don't get me wrong. But we have our problems First he's a Jehovah Witness and I'm Catholic. But we've actually been able to control that believe it or not. But we've been arguing alot lately, and its been over petty stuff. I'm a person that can cry very easily and I do everytime we do to the extent that I can't breathe. Of recent, we've been arguing about spending time together because I've gotten a new job and when I try to make sure that we continue to spend as much time as we used to, he says that I'm overthinking it. But I can count how many times I've seen him in 3 weeks on one hand which is NOT the type of couple that we are. He gets very irrate very easily and I know that's not him. I don't know what to do really. I decided to write him a letter and left it at his house for when he came home so he could see it and I haven't gotten any response from him. What should I do now? Please help. I really luv him alot

you should work something out were both of you can find the time to hang out with each other because both of you just went through a year and barley relationships last that long. Just try to find the times of day were your both not doing anything

You need to find some time to sit and talk to him. Ask him what is it about you having a new job that bothers him. Let him know that just because you have new job doesn’t mean that you love him any less. Explain to him that the job is just a way of you making money and while you’re not with him he’s always on your mind. Tell him that the job doesn’t change how you feel about him or your relationship with him in any way. Try to get him to understand that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Now that you have a job things will change such as the amount of time that you’re use to spending together. However since you can’t spend all the time in the world together when you do make the time to spend with him, make it the best. Come up with new and different things to do. Has either of you ever heard it’s not the quantity of time but the quality that counts.

The Scriptures clearly instruct a true worshipper to marry only another true worshipper. Non-Witnesses should be encouraged to either learn about Jehovah's Witnesses or discontinue dating an ostensible "Jehovah's Witness".
(Exodus 23:32) You are not to conclude a [marriage or other] covenant with them or their gods.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with [unbelievers]. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
(1 Corinthians 7:39) She is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
(Nehemiah 13:25) You should not give your daughters to [the unbeliever's] sons, and you should not accept any of their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.

Catholics and JWs are way too different for this to work. I'd convert (not so easy to do and I sure don't suggest doing it unless you really know what you're doing) or cut my losses now. If you're not of the same faith, this can only end in more tears.

maybe things have changed with him, maybe u are working way too hard on this, with one person working and the other not, it can become very frustrating. back off distance yourself if it is meant to be it will be, give him some space, and see what happens here. don't push it too hard.
