Ask Your Question today
At school my group was discussing God and I said, "I really don't beliven God." My boyfriend then shot me a nasty look and said, "Were thru" and walked away. Later I asked if he was serious and he said, "Yep." Is he a jerk for doing that or is it normal?
His actions say a lot more about his own beliefs than yours. Just think yourself lucky you no longer have to worry about impressing a douche like this.
I know this may sound harsh, but for some people religion is a major part of their life. They want someone to share that with.
He shouldn't have dumped you in such a harsh way, but if it's that important to him, then I can see why he thinks that's a deal-breaker.
If that's the type of dude he is you don't want his ass anyway. I'm not saying religious and non religious people are completely incompatible, but you need someone who at least respects your beliefs or lack of beliefs.
Religion may be a big part of his life, how is he a jerk if he doesn't want to be with someone that doesn't share such a big part of the type of person he is?
Just like if an animal rights activist found out that their partner was a fox hunter, that person has the right to not want to be in a relationship with the person anymore.
And that is why I hate religion.
I read a few passages from the Bible earlier, because well, since I'm agains't religion I might aswell know what it's all about.
I couldn't keep my laugh in because of how redicilous the story sounded. All the time I was like, thinking.
"Do people really believe this shit? Wow. o.o"
Sounded like a fairytale.
Anyway, back to the topic.
Your ex...he's a douche. And I know you know that Rach.
Really, anybody who breaks off relationships because of religion must have some sort of mental issues. Glad you're over it though C:.
I wonder why you didn't break up with him before though, you had an earlier story regarding his douchebaggery.
Someone with that type of personality, and the way he looks upon others judging on their beliefs, shouldn't even be loved by anyone for that matter. These people are twisted, hating everything that isn't them.
He could've shown some bloody respect, and be all like "I'm sorry, but I want to be in a relationship with someone of my own belief" (even though that majorly limits his options).
Someone who can't accept you for who you are and what you believe, is not worth your time and effort. Hell, this post was too much effort to begin with.
Hope this helps,
Alex.
Someone that can't even respect your own beliefs really shouldn't be with you in the first place. You're actually very lucky that the whole breakup was just that and not something with more drama.
Someone with that type of personality with that kind of hateful outlook of others does not seem to even be exemplifying Christianity in the slightest. You are meant to "love your neighbor as yourself." He may not even be a Christian. There are people that believe in God that are not Christians. Such cases would be Deists, possibly spirit channelers, another religion entirely, etc. If he is making himself out to be a Christian though, I find it very hard to grasp that he truly is one. No, it is neither right of him nor can I say it is "normal."
He could have discussed with you about your non belief instead of just dumping you. Seems as if it wouldn't take much for him to give up on anything :\
find someone you are more compatible with. that was a very douchey way of breaking up with you just for simply expressing your beliefs. your beliefs don't mean shit to him. he didn't even ask why or anything. is everyone supposed to believe in God?? he probably doesn't act Christian or whatever he is; he just goes with the flow of things, doesn't go to Church, never opened a Bible, couldn't tell you something from it or make sense of it, et cetera.
It's sadly quite common. Parents have been known to throw their kids out just for not believing in god.
Although this kind of thing happens often it doesn't stop him from being a twat.
That's a douche way to do it but if that's something that he needs in a partner then it's good you went your separate ways.
Hey people, do you know the poster of this is my sister in law? She is bisexual, and married to my sister. Her name is Miss Random Popcorn!
idk what's with all the hate against this boy. he's smart, and probably wants a long term relationship, and those type of relationships mean sharing each other's beliefs/opinions, otherwise it will cause problems in the future, especially with something as important to people as religion. it's a good thing he got out now, instead of getting deeper and deeper into the relationship and having to break your heart, and cause you even more pain years from now
unlike girls, guy's date for the long term and put everything into it, girls just date for fun and reassurance and pick from their long list of guys who want them, and go through it as they get bored, or the guy gets tired of their shit, just to have someone/anyone there to show them love.
I think he could've used a little more tact. It was rude how he went about it. He did say this abruptly in front of other people. Whether it was a knee-jerk reaction or not, he should've controlled his impulses better and waited til you were alone. However, he's not a jerk for breaking up with you, not at all. Apparently, this was serious to him and you should be respectful of those feelings. It's better than him trying to 'change' you. For that alone, you should respect him.
