How do you get over a relationship that ended because of religion?

Question

I had been dating my bf for almost 7 months. Everything was going really great and we both really loved each other. He had to move away for school in september only for 4 months. in october is grandpa passed away, and he said that that made him more religious. he knows im not and never have been, and said he doesn't see himself having a future with me now. It seems so weird because the person i knew never would have said something like that to me. He told me he thinks this is what he wants, for us to break up, but things could change. so we have broken up. i don't know how to get over it, or what to do...

Answer 1

I seriously dont mean to offend anyone. But i just feel that religion can be a pain sometimes. Btw, i know what you're going through.

Answer 2

You get over this the same way you get over any relationship that ends. Keep yourself busy. Have some fun. Get some exercise. Give yourself some time. Then when you are ready, you can go out and find someone more appropriate for your own values. It happens, religion or no religion. Just keep your distance, wait, and move on.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Religion/spiritual beliefs does play a huge factor in relationships no matter what... But for your guy, he's just making an excuse to break up in a cowardly way. So, no sweat about him... Life is too short hon, there will be plenty of guys would be better for you. At least, he did you a favor then! (In a way) I promise the hurt will go away and you're so young. Enjoy life!

Answer 4

It doesn't sound like a very christian thing to do. Hum how to get over it? Time is probably the best answer I can give. It may seem harsh, but the best way I have found to deal with getting over people is not to speak to them at all. After a time you will wonder what you ever saw in them.

Answer 5

Accept that people change. He is not longer a good match for you and so he ended it so that you can both find someone more suitable. Give yourself some time to grieve the loss and then move on.

Answer 6

It is good he is honest with you about his feeling instead of hiding them.

Religion is a very powerful force in someones life.

In my case I had to part company with someone over our religions. It is good you find now rather than much later.

So either come to accept his religious views just to have them or be honest with your own religious views which you should be a all times.

Good luck.

Answer 7

he used religion as an excuse for breaking up, when he went away he met someone else, probably another man. He secretly desires your brother. Keep telling yourself this and getting over him will be easier.

Answer 8

if u really love each other, you'd work things out. why not try supporting him (that is if u want to)? u could try becoming religious too if u wouldn't mind.
but, if u realise later on that it's really impossible to be like him, or for u to change for him, then it's really up to you if wanna stay or leave him.

hope that helps.

Answer 9

my first thought was hes using that for an excuse.you really think hed give up something because he became sooo religious?...

maybe him at school had something to do with it.or the fact it was just 7 months.and he wasnt as committed to it as you. just let him go.

Answer 10

Religion is the most stupid motive to break up with somebody...he probably has other reasons and he won't tell you. Anyway, he doesn't deserve you if he thinks that way, because love is above all things...
