What do you do when you love him but your values (core, political, and religious) don’t align?

i’m sorry but she’s right. unfortunately love isn’t enough. relationships need support to keep love alive or it’ll turn to resentment. you can love him all you want but when you’re sacrificing what you believe is right, it’s a form of moral suicide and disservice to yourself and future. political misalignment can shift, and religious affiliation can change over time, but core values? you CANNOT sacrifice those for a man.

Break up. Things don’t go well when values don’t align. It will be endless arguments and anger and resentment.

I would not date a man like that. You might feel like you can just ignore it but things like that DO matter in terms of relationship health. You don’t wanna be frequently arguing with this person, or god forbid if you have a family together eventually (if that’s what you want) you guys don’t align on how you want to bring them up

You could try staying friends but even that can be very difficult to manage when you disagree so fundamentally

trust me, i learned the hard way. loved him with all my heart to the point where i was questioning everything i knew was true just to try to keep him. it’s not worth your soul. it’s not worth a life you never wanted. i always wanted to have kids, and bc he didn’t want to, i stayed on birth control that destroyed my body. he hated that i went to church, said he would never go with me. said i was an idiot for how i voted. we’ve broken up, and im me again. i still love him, but i love me more.

you HAVE to respect yourself at all costs, because as a woman, nobody else will ever truly give you the respect you deserve.
