I have been with my girlfriend for almost 1 year now. We’re the ideal couple from the outside, smart, decent looking and working professionals, but on the inside we are struggling. Although I find her pretty I just can’t get my little brother up and running. And on the other hand, she struggles with the fact that I’m not fully a Christian. I’m open to going to church and have been doing so, but I just don’t dedicate my thoughts and lifestyle around the church and it’s teachings.

We recently decided on a break up because of the above reasons. Can I seek the collective wisdom of the crowd especially those who’ve faced similar issues how you overcame them, or is breaking up the logical move here?
Here are what netizens think:
- Once religion is involved deeply, just leave. It is hard to predict the future and the number of times u will argue over it. Worse will be when u hv children. Wife demands they are christian, and u want children to have their own choices.
- Almost a year isn’t that long tbh. If you don’t feel that she is the one for you in the long run, it’s time to stop wasting each other’s time and cut losses and move on. Might be that you are not ready for commitment yet. And as for religion, it’s deeply personal and nobody should be forced into something only for the sake of the relationship. Usually it never works out.
- I really wonder what goes into the decision making of youngsters before they decide to go on a relationship? Is it just purely ‘I like you and you like me so let’s be together’? Because these issues are on the surface and should have been addressed right at the start! Guy should have realised he couldn’t get it up around her and girl should know he isn’t christian enough for her even before getting together. Why only after a year and a break up to do so? Unnecessary headache.
