  1. I do hear what you're saying, but it just doesn't feel like this. After being with her for two years I don't see her as being this manipulative.
  2. Even moreso along the lines of this topic, how well can people of different paradigms get along together. We discussed it again tonight and my GF broke down crying, saying that she hates how Religion makes her feel isolated. How everyone seems to scoff and look down upon her or try and convert her when they find out she's not Catholic. I think she resents how the very messages of Christ, the teachings and the doctrine are lost within the body of the Church. She also said she rebels against religious thoughts and calls them stupid, and me stupid because the religion makes her feel stupid for not believing. I think we're having a somewhat of an emotional breakthrough here.
  3. Thank you all so much for your help. I have no doubt that I will enter the Church in some form. You are all very insightful and I'm happy you took the time to consider my problem! Much love to all.
  4. Well here is an update. I called her this morning and basically told her that I wouldn't abandon her. I told her she was not unimportant, or just a 'filler'. I also told her that I would not leave her for preisthood. I've done some thinking, and I wouldn't. That would mean leaving her basically alone in this world (given her past, and my role in her life) and while Preisthood would entail sacrifice, I believe it should be more personal sacrifice... In this specific case I believe myself to be sacrificing someone else as well. I also told her the question was unreasonable. Lastly, I will look for placed in the Roman Catholic Church that I can participate in without being celibate. I thank you all for your help as this was quite perplexing. I'm glad it is over, for now at least. If we ever were to break up, over something else, I don't think I would seek another relationship. Right now it feels as if SHE is truly important, not the mere notion of a relationship.... Now I'm ramble. Thanks again guys.
  5. If God were to ask me whom I loved more, again it's a tough question. The two types of love are so completely different.
  6. I can understand why she feels angry and upset, but what am I possibly to do? I'm so bewildered and lost, I can't think of any solutions to this.
  7. Hey there, I've been with my GF for two years now. I'm very devout (Roman Catholic) and she is a deist of sorts. I recently have been considering becoming a priest, (I'm taking Philosophy/Theology in University). But today I was posed with the question "Who do you love more, God or me? I couldn't answer and it got ugly. My GF now is not talking to me because she's upset that I could possibly abandon her for someone she believes doesn't even exist. What do I do? I don't even know if I WANT to become a priest, I was merely considering it, but now my relationship is on the rocks.
  8. As teddybear said, the relationship has overall been loving, and we have gone through A LOT for each other. I had the talk with her. Told her that if I was such a turn-off, I'll be leaving. I also told her that I thought this whole 'be a man' thing was just her way of trying to get another message to me, (for example, how she wants me to change my hate for clubbing so we can go together). She agreed that this is what it was and everything just worked out after that. I'm working on my fear of insects now, that is the easy one, the fear of water is really daunting. I'd like to thank you all for your advice and support, do not think it goes ignored or unappreciated, =). As for now, I'm just taking it day by day, sometimes that's the best, right? Thanks again!
  9. Thank you all so much for the words of wisdom. I will keep you updated on where this goes as we should be having a conversation about this tonight. Once again thank you all, so very much =).
  10. Precisely, it feels as a form of cheating to me? I'll go to some clubs with her, try to loosen up once I am 18 (in October). The status of being 18 will help me move away from my overprotective grandmother, which, in essense, is a whole different post. (there are posts on it if you search about a year back). Haha, oh drama drama, what's life without you?
  11. Just take her out on a 'friends day' and show her how fun it can be!
  12. While I agree with you, Cdawg has been gone for a year. But thank you for your advice!
  13. Yeah I noticed that too, reflective of our society?
  14. No, she did not. As she says that it did not get far enough blah blah blah. I personally am all for locking up these people before they can attack again, but she wants to throw it out of her mind I suppose.
