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.
