It seems like you're really emotionally involved with this guy. I'm really sorry you've been having disagreements, and it sounds like you've reached your limit or you're about to :/ Being so emotionally attached to someone makes things much, MUCH harder, I would know, but it also gives this illusion that things are complicated when they're really not. I broke up with my boyfriend for him not respecting my beliefs, and I think it honestly has NOTHING to do with the belief itself. We were both Christian actually, but he was struggling with his faith and had lots of other personal issues going on, too. We just weren't compatible. But it took me forever to make the decision to break up with him and realize that things would be better without him, because we were so attached to each other and believed in the notion that "love conquers all". I'm not saying it doesn't, because it definitely can, but when people aren't compatible with each other, it just makes things much harder, often needlessly. I was reading a book at around a time I was really miserable in the relationship, and it pretty much laid it out really simply: Relationships should be easy. If you aren't feeling happy in a relationship with someone, no one is forcing you to stay with them. There's nothing keeping you together, except your emotions. It was THAT simple, and that was all it took for me to decide to break up with my ex... but I don't want to get too much into my story because this is about you ^ ^ But what I'm saying is that, I think that's what God intended. For relationships to be fulfilling and to make people happy, and to bring out the best in you. So maybe you need to ask yourself, "does he bring out the best in me?" Because I truly believe that those are the only types of people you want to be close to. Otherwise, it's too much stress
It sounds to him like he values his religious beliefs very much, but he might also just be feeling insecure about how you might have changed. It seems like you two have grown apart, or at least into different people, is that pretty accurate? As much as you love him and are attached to him, just remember that you can't always change people. If you can't be happy with him and how is is RIGHT NOW, maybe you should try to detach yourself from him. I really think it could make you happier in the long run. Good luck and I hope this helped
