me and my husband belong to different religions. and we are soon expecting a child.
my husband is a good person, and i love him for what he is. i have never attempted to make him convert to my religion and i dont wish to.
but the same cannot be said about him and he grabs every oppurtunity to preach me about it. he is very passionate about it to the point of shunning everyone who is against it including his parents and siblings. and he has made it very clear that when the baby comes he is gonna belong to his religion, not mine.
i dont really care what religion the baby is going to follow, but
my concern is, how can i carry on with this without letting our relationship be spoiled and what effect will this have on the baby ? is he going to be confused about things with me following one thing and his father another ?
thank you.

If you don't care which religion your baby follows, then you don't really believe in yours. Reevaluate what you think. Maybe your husband is right.

You need to think this out. If your husband is telling you that the baby is going to follow his religion he is also saying that your beliefs don't count. I am thinking this is just the beginning of things to come. Reevaluate your relationship with him and decide what is in the best interest of the child. If you don't, this will affect the baby as he/she grows up by having to choose between your husband and you.

Pray hard, you already know in your heart how this is going to play out. Right now you need to worry about you and make positive decisions now for you and your baby. Your baby still has some time, so use your time wisely and resolve this now. Go talk to your priest and follow God's word.

My partner is independent baptist and I'm roman catholic. And we love it that way...
Rather than allowing this difference be a source of conflict, we like to start with the things that we agree on. In our case it's one God, one Savior, Jesus Christ, and One way to get to Heaven - and that's through personal salvation... Everything else is negotiable...
Now as far as your husband is concerned, he's being extremely crass about placing his faith over everyone else. Indeed, Jesus says he who humbles himself is exalted and he who exalts himself will be humbled...
Additionally, when he starts to badmouth others - especially his family - remind him of the 4th commandment. And even though Abraham left his homeland for a far-off place - he still sent his servant back to find a wife for Issac from his own people...
In short, his behavior is simply out of step with scripture.
consider talking with his pastor about it - maybe he can be of help.
