I have a feeling I know how this is going to end I just need the confirmation that I’m not going insane but here goes…
I (22F) met this guy (23M) from the US online around 6 months ago and he started out nice and we formed a relationship (but then again so have my other exes) but he’s just suddenly become more and more religious as time goes on and I’m starting to worry that in the end he will put me second when I really need him the most(although this has been happening as he tends to isolate himself for his religion for a weekend or a couple of days and my grandma has just passed away the day that I have written this post and he hasn’t really considered making sure I’ve been okay.) I have no issue with religion, I’m semi agnostic with an atheistic lean and respect people’s beliefs whilst he’s eastern orthodox Christian but he’s just gotten so much more strict I’m worried that I’m going to get hurt or he’s made a mistake in being with me even though he constantly says “I’m made for him” I want to talk this through with him but he gets a little dismissive of my opinion and says that his religion is non negotiable which is fair enough he’s entitled to that.
I just want someone else to confirm what I’ve been feeling for ages so I can make a plan to end things with him gently and it will kill me because other than that he’s been supportive of me and my lifestyle and has been there for me at times when I had no one but obviously thinking of the future and how I date to marry I’ve done my research on weddings within his religion and I want to be able to marry someone without all these heavy restrictions that I feel I can’t adhere to. I want to marry someone because I love them and not have to worry about a church’s approval of me.
TLDR: I’m worried that I don’t feel prioritised enough and my partner cares more about his religion than me and I need to know whether there’s any point in staying with him.
