Right, but I think these girls were implying that they were Protestant and they couldn't date a Catholic.

Oh and my mom flipped a shit last year when she found out I was sleeping with my ex while we still were together because she's Episcopalian. My mom went just as insane when she found out I went to an Episcopalian Christmas mass.

Update coming up tomorrow in the morning, guys. Really, thanks for the (sometimes harsh) words. You guys are right (for the most part), and we talked it out the other night... it looks like we're staying together! :) I'll explain more in the AM. I'm exhausted. But really, to those who believed, thank you, again. feelsgoodman.jpg

It better not have been a discussion about your hypothetical future children.

It's almost as of each group wants THEIR interpretation to be the one God REALLY wants.



This is all completely meaningless because the REAL debate here is "I want my particular denomination to be the ONLY one, forever and ever, which means my kids will be forced into it, my partner's wishes be damned."

You really should let the kid decide what Religion (if any) he or she wishes to join when they're old enough to decide for themselves.

Parents shouldn't indoctrinate their kids into thinking the way they do just because they have some sort of religious obligation.

Agreed.

[Resilient]

OP I'm glad it worked out for you two. Sometimes you need a silly roadblock like this to help each other see that shit is working out and it's not worth dropping. Good shit bro. Hope that ex doesn't give you any more grief either!

YESTERDAY MORNING PASSED ALREADY WHERE IS THE UPDATE

[onemic]

:/ Sorry, I don't know where to go with this... my girl and I argued Sunday night about religion and whether our kids would go to her church or mine if we each continued with our respective beliefs (I'm Christian she's Catholic). Then Monday morning her little brother ran away to their dad's house (her parents are split) because he argued with his mom. She went to pick him up and her mom got pissed at her for that, so she kicked them both out. That same day her punk ass ex bf sent her a bouquet of tulips (her favorite) and a card saying he still loved her and all kinds of shit. She told me she had some feelings rush back into her head and she felt horrible for it... but it doesn't change the fact. Today we're gonna "talk." I'm pretty sure you all know what is gonna happen. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. We get along so damn well. We have amazing sex. We are insanely compatible and see a lot of things in life similarly... but I guess its not gonna work out. She says I am the perfect man for her and she's constantly reminding me that she wants to marry me, but then this happened...kinda sucks to be honest. Sorry for rambling. You guys are my closest friends :'(

ummm wut? You do know Catholic is Christian right? It's just a denomination of Christianity. You can't just be Christian, it doesn't really make any sense. Especially so if you go to your own church.

[ChuyMasta]

Im glad for the seemingly happy ending but now I want more details! You promised OP =(

I think you can be only Christian, that will simply means you are not a member of organized religion, but you believe in Jesus, Mary, etc. Ofc that would make you a heretic in the eyes of every other Christian congregation, but hey - my way or the highway.

Isn't that what being Protestant is?

[KiNeSiS]

Don't want to bring you down however they likely have been talking.
Her ex randomly sends flowers on a day that all of this occurs?
I believe she confided in him & he struck while the iron was hot with a sweet gesture.
You need to do something mindblowingly awesome to win her favor.
It actually may not be worth it @ this point. Play it by ear, When you said the sex is amazing it very well could be in your mind. In hers you may not compare to this guy, thus her gushing about old feelings for him.
I am in no way disrespecting you it's just every guy thinks they are number one & there is always someone better out there from a woman's past. This guy could have been the love of her life & she is just coasting along with whoever in the meantime.

If you really love her stick around for a while observe her actions (@ the same time), keep in mind that sometimes holding on to something does more damage than good...

There are huge belief and doctrinal gaps between those religions, night and day differences. And that's discounting lots of people like the Scottish Warlock I met that still considers himself "a follower of Christ".

You missed the point. It's not about the differences between denominations, they're there, they're huge and obvious. It's about a member of one of them calling himself a Christian as opposed to his Catholic GF, as if HIS denomination were the True Christians 2012.

[evil solrac v3.0]

where's the update? your god punishes those that lie when they say they will update the thread.

[JumpingTheGun]

Goddamn why does this keep getting bumped? This was six days ago. Are you single or what?

[Immortal_Daemon]

(I'm Christian she's Catholic).

You essentially just said "I'm American, she's from New York." I assume you mean you're either Orthodox or Protestant.
This is an interesting slip of the tongue, though, because it might mean you don't really know that much about religious differences among sects, which might mean....

You should probably just talk about your religious specifics, and chances are you agree on most things. This will turn your issue into a problem of which church is more friendly and good, rather than which religious denomination.

Can you guys even name specifics on which you disagree? Transubstantiation, maybe? Baptism? Is it really worth breaking up over?

Probably the filioque. That shizzle's been busting up couples since the 4th Century.

[carfo]

Debating breaking up with my girlfriend but maybe I'll wait until after the holidays.
The last time I tried to break up with her she tried to OD on pills.
Says she wants to marry me 6 months into the relationship (we've been living together for 3 years now), has some psychological issues because of god awful parents, is supposed to be on anti-depressants but hasn't taken them for a couple months.

The last month or so she's been going bananas and flipped out at me for going to the gym without her. she says she likes to go with me but I don't go every day because I'm always sore the next couple days. The next day she got extremely pissed when I fell asleep after she said she wanted to have sex with me because she was ovulating. Now I probably ask her to have sex with me at least once a day and a lot of the time she isn't in the mood and doesn't really enjoy sex as much as I do but I never get mad at her for that. Now she's just in a constantly bad mood, saying how much this year sucks and how much Christmas sucks, because she ordered a couple things that came in either the wrong color or wrong size, and her family doesn't care about her. Her dad is a racist who I don't talk to and she stopped talking to, her grandmothers and fathers have passed, and her mom doesn't really care for her but of all her family she's the only one she still talks to. I don't know if she only stays with me because she has no where else to go (i have a house and she has nothing and no family would take her in and owes a lot of debt)

I had a great day at work today and she calls in this terrible mood being extremely pissy to me for no reason saying my phone sucks because I had low reception and starts fighting with me. I'm not happy with her anymore but I think I still love her, I deeply care about her feelings even though she says I never do. I don't know if this is just some superbitch phase she's going through but it's making me miserable. I just had to type this out.

It sounds like she's just being really pissy/moody/cranky. Maybe she should go back on the antidepressants.

[speculawyer]

You picked a weird thread to bump.

[FlashFlooder]

LMAO @ "I'm Christian, she's Catholic"

doesn't that make you both Christian?

[Norua]

What about letting your kid decide?
Who knows, he might have a brain, think for himself and choose neither.

Edit: Useless bump? Time to sleep.
