Sorry to hear it Sniz. I went through the same thing around 2 years ago. I met a wonderful woman who seemed to be perfect in every way. Almost every way. She was a devout Christian and when I say devout I mean "she likes to spend all her free time reading the Bible" devout. I hoped we could just try to avoid the subject entirely but religion whether you are a theist or atheist plays a big part in everyone's life. Hoping to spend your life with someone who's beliefs are so much in conflict with your own - especially with children involved - is just impossible. It can't be done.

Keep your head up, you appear to be a very beautiful woman and from what I've seen very intelligent and funny as well. It wasn't meant to be and getting depressed about it won't change that. Just be happy it ended now and not 5 years from now when it would the heartache would be a lot worse. I've now met someone who shares my non-belief and I'm so much happier having someone who shares my non-belief. I can discuss religion with her without it spiraling into an argument. Especially with children involved, we both share a common disdain for religion so it won't be a dispute when we come to that time to discuss religion and other related things with them.

Trust me, you'll be much better off in the long run.

Thanks SabreNation. Deep down I know it too, but it feels nice to hear encouragement from other people.

OMG! I thought I was the only one in love with Sam Harris. I <3 Sam Harris... oh, and Jon Stewart, too.

Anyway, I'm sorry about your break-up. Did he ever give you a chance to reason with him? I feel like I'd like to be an Atheist Missionary and save the poor souls from wasting their one life.
