so my boyfriend and i have been dating about a year and a half and we were best friends before we got together for about four years . in the past couple months he’s been telling me he would like to go back into his old religion , Jehovah witness , but he knows i would never convert from christianity . one of the rules in that religion is you can’t be with someone who isn’t apart of the religion because it’s like frowned upon or something and he’s always just dismissed it and said he didn’t mind . but today he told me that he wanted to really find himself again in the religion because he wants to feel closer to his mom who died when he was 14 . he started to cry and i just didn’t know what to say .

i took it upon myself to make the decision and just end things . it has to be one of the hardest things i’ve had to do but it hurts me more to know how much he wants to be closer to her again . then he got mad at me and told me that if i was being serious he would be losing everything in his world and i told him i couldn’t stand in the way of something like that because at the end of the road i know that could be a big regret for him .

but after he hung up i just got the instant regret and i feel so stupid for letting go of someone who i love so much . but at the same time i thought i was doing a good thing . there’s still time to mend things since it’s only been an hourish but i just don’t know if i did the right thing .
