Unsure of what to do
|
Hello all,
Well, i have a similar situation with the girl who calls herself a confused 23 yr old girl. I'm 17, and i'm a non-Christian...a Buddhist to be specific. I met my first boyfriend last year and he is a Christian. We went out for 6 months before i decided to break up with him a couple of months ago. Why I broke up with him? Well...i have actually read a few postings here regarding Christian and non-Christian relationships, and how they may actualy interfere with the Christian's relationship with God. Though my boyfriend didn't seem to mind that I was a Buddhist (though i know that he wld prefer me to be a Christian obviously), i didn't want to be the one to pull him away from his religion, so i decided to break it off. Though the break-up was almost 2 months ago, we still keep in touch and we still have feelings for each other. I seem to be more insistent on the religion differences than he is. He says that he doesn't mind that i'm not a Christian, but i feel that he is being more emotional than rational in this situation. However, i also feel very tempted to make up with him again...except that i don't know if anything will ever come out of the relationship. I am a Buddhist but i'm quite open-minded towards other religions...in fact, i sometimes feel inclined towards Christianity as well, except that i don't feel ready to convert to becoming a Christian. Anyway, i'll make it clear that i have no intention of becoming a Christian just so that i can be with my bf. But whereas the "confused 23 yr old" can pray to God and ask what she shld do...well, i'm not sure if i can do that? And what about my boyfriend? Cos he doesn't seem to be very concerned about my not being a Christian...or maybe he is, but he doesn't make it into a big issue, and i thought that it shld be the case? Actually, i was wondering if i could receive any views on this, and perhaps, some of you can actually pray for my bf to make the correct decision regarding this, whatever it may be. If i was a Christian, i wld pray for him myself...but then again, this problem wldn't even exist in the first place. :) Anyway, thanks for reading. Luv, Lena
