Long story short, I (23F) just ended an 11-month relationship with my boyfriend (26M) because we were way too incompatible. It hurt because I loved him but it had to be done because we're too different.
Backstory: He's Muslim with conservative views and I'm Catholic with liberal views. A few days ago, I asked him about whether or not the person he marries has to convert to Islam and he couldn't give me a straight answer. He said if he loved the girl enough he wouldn't make her convert. However, if his family gave him sh** for marrying a non-Muslim, he would ask them to "fake convert." I kind of felt like this was BS. Based on previous interactions with him, I noticed that he’s terribly afraid of disappointing his family (understandable). My gut instincts were telling me to get out now before I become even more invested. So I told him I can't do it anymore. He couldn't understand why I was even thinking about marriage in the first place. He's a stock market nerd, so I decided to explain it in his own language:
Me: “what’s a company you love and use everyday, but would never invest in?”
Him: “Lifetime Fitness because I love going everyday, however, Covid makes investing in gyms too risky.”
Me: “That’s exactly how I feel about this relationship”
He got kind of annoyed and said I was being too logical? But I really don't think situations like this are too logical. I'm not continuing a relationship with no future. Ladies, listen to your intuition!
