Should I attempt to get back together with my ex of 3 years?

Hey everyone, I first just want to say that I'm grateful for finding this website years ago. It has, without a doubt, the best information regarding women anywhere. However, I haven't been on this website in about 3 years mainly because it helped me get my first serious girlfriend. But now, three years later, I'm back to humbly ask for some advice.

My girlfriend and I just broke up (or more honestly she broke things off) where the only issue we had was that I'm agnostic and she is a very conservative Lutheran. She said that even though she wants to marry me, she thinks that me not beliveing in God will be a constant conflict when raising kids. She wants Christian kids and I want them to decide on their own. We still love eachother very much, she cries and constantly tells me she wishes she didn't do this. I told her that I would want nothing more than to be with her but that I except her decision and that I will always be there for her.

My question is how should I proceed? I know deep down that I want to be with her but I know that religion will always be an obstacle. If I pursue her what would be the best course of action?

Should I just stay friends with her and not pursue a relationship?

Or should I just move on despite how much I still want to be with her?

I have read recently the articles about how to get a girl back, your girlfriend back and the one on dealing with a breakup.

My plan as of right now is to pursue religion, but not let her know that I'm exploring it. I will keep in touch with her but not be close friends. I will have her reach out more than I do her. If she decides to take me back I want to decline unless I genuinely discover a spark of faith (I worry that in a moment of emotion I will just take her back even if I haven't actually changed, resolving our conflict).

So I'm just wondering what I should do. The advice I received from this site changed me form a quiet, shy guy, to an assertive playful boyfriend able to get her, so I will take any advise from here sincerely.

Thanks in advance! And If there's any more details that I should add I will gladly give them.

This seems to be an irrevocable disagreement. Also, if you start to pursue religion purely based on getting closer to her, she won't respect you for it. You should pursue religious and spiritual inquiries because of something, anything, really, that isn't because of a desire to get closer to a specific woman.

Thus, you should definitely not get back with an ex.

I'm with Hector,

Absolutely do not pursue religion to get this one girl; don't compromise who you are to get her back because 1) it isn't true for you and 2) it sets an incredibly weak frame.

GirlsChase helped you get a serious relationship, you've done it once and you can do it again with a girl who can give you more of what you want.
