Hello there. I stumbled across you randomly one recent night. It just so happened that I was in the midst of what turned out to be a relationship ending in part of religion as well. Reading your entries that night was very helpful. I'm sorry that you're going through this though. I can't claim my relationship didn't have its conflicts, but until the very end, I thought they were all due to my (in)ability to accept, when in the end it has taught me that it was his. If anything, it was worth ending just to know that, though it doesn't make it any easier. I'm still in that phase that wants to find lies in the truths, and to see someone that deep down I know isn't there, because as much as I think it comes down to core morals, no matter the paths, for some, specifically where religion is involved, the destination is not as important as the road traveled. Until this experience, I actually thought I was that person. I still think I could live with someone who is different from me in that regard, and I know that in time I will accept that he

I really appreciate your comment and I apologize for not responding sooner as I was a bit preoccupied in Rome. In any case, I´m sorry that others have to go through the same experience. As you have, I have discovered things about myself but as you stated, it does not make it any easier.
I actually have become very close friends with a girl in my study abroad program who is the polar opposite of myself in just about every way. Knowing that I can coexist with people who are different than I am, and for those people to accept me as well, is making his true colors clearer and allowing me to come to terms with it. Girls are silly like that, always hoping that their partners are something that they are not.
I´m glad you think I´m an interesting person beyond these entries, they were a lot more interesting before all this went down and will hopefully return to the previous norm soonly. Thanks for the add and the comment! I´m glad I could help you in some way and I hope you feel better soon as well!
No worries about the late reply. I can be terrible for that myself (this comment being evidence =P).
That's awesome that you've made good friends with someone much different from you. For me, those always seem like the best kind of relationships, because they actually show you a different part of life that you may not have known otherwise. The majority of my friends are like that, in fact.
I do think you're interesting! I take it you went to Europe for studies? It's a beautiful place.. I spent a fair bit of time in The Netherlands a few years back and really enjoyed it.
I wanted to say that I really respect your ability to put into words your feelings through this tough time as well. I haven't been able to do it myself. Usually by this point I'd be a sobbing mess but I'm still too angry and in shock so I completely avoid the topic all together. I hope that one of these days I can be as point-blank about it as you have been. Thank-you for your wishes =)
