writes:My partner is Catholic and I am non-religious, although I would not say an atheist... I feel spiritual, but just havn't figured out my beliefs yet and see alot of hypocracy in the human side of religion! I made a comment the other day about religion, as I have a strong and genuine intrest in finding out about all religions and cultures - but what I said seemed to hit a nerve with my boyfriend. I was only expressing my own views, I didn't mean to offend, but I also don't want to have to watch what I say all the time... I hope this can be a long-term relationship, and we are both really happy together, but do you think this relationship will work out? Or will this be a difference too big to ignore?? Please let me know your thoughts.

It sounds like his religion means a lot to him and it's either you try to support him on this, or you just get out of this relationship while its early.What about later you both got married and have kids, what religion would they follow ? I am pretty sure he would want them to be catholics would you approve of this ? Honey, I am only trying to make you see that for some people religion is everything.Your question stuck a nerve becasue of the fact that he is believes strongly in his religion. You should not go there or thing before you ask a question, it may offend or hurt him.
