or are they all doomed from day one?

Well I did for a year and a half, up until I found out his beliefs. That was back in August, and it has been a big struggle ever since. He is famous for telling me how my beliefs are wrong and still hasn't introduced me to his parents. Currently I am his "dirty little secret" and will be until they know about me. The last week has been the worst, and we almost broke up the other day. His ultimate goal is for me to convert, which I refuse to. And then wanted to jump into bed... I would never convert to a religion that he can't keep it in his pants and tells me that I am wrong. It really seems to be a losing battle, to be in a successful relationship where both views are respected, and that is what it comes down to... does he respect YOU!!!

i am currently involved in a relationship for the last year and a half with a man that i found out about 2 months ago is a jehovahs witness (and i am catholic).
the only reason why i found this out, was that i was pushing the issue as to why his parents do not know that i exist.
this really irritated me since he has a very close relationship with his parents.
Well I got to the point last night that I couldn't take it anymore. I just wrote him an e-mail dealing with respect for me. I don't know if this was a good idea, but I gave him an ultamatum... It just seemed as it is the only hope for me to know what I need to know from him and for him to finally introduce me to his parents... the last letter that I wrote to him didn't seem to do anything but get him a little teary eyed. Well, this one just shows him that I am not going to take his crap for any longer and face reality. Hopefully it will do some good, but who knows. I will keep you posted. Thanks for listening.

Well, it really doesn't matter to me. My daughter is of half Puerto Rican and I am of Irish Decent. I was briefly engaged to her father, although we never married. I have dated men from many different cultures, but I do prefer them darker than me. I want my children to have a decent skin tone, since I am white, white, and more white!!! Currently, my boyfriend (who I do intend on marrying) is a JW and I am Catholic. I was brought up in a house where my mother was Catholic, and my father was Methodist... So different religions don't bother me. I will NEVER have a relationship with another women, it just doesn't appeal to me. I want what I don't have, and only a man can provide that for me! That is the only thing that I draw the line with. I am happy for anyone that is in a happy relationship, no matter what they prefer, as long as they are faithful to eachother, I accept everyone for who they are, and don't question any of their feelings.

Well, his parents have been away for the past week visiting relatives, and guess who hasn't been attending meetings??? So it seems to me that it is them that are controling this part of him. When they are out of the picture he does what he wants to. It was interesting to see him react like this.

Yes, I am fully aware that he can get disfellowshipped for this. Truthfully, he should have thought about that along time ago. If he now wants this lifestyle, he should have acted appropriately then too. Since he hasn't he really deserves whatever comes to him, and I will be blamed for corrupting him even though I knew nothing of what his beliefs were because he wasn't honest with me. Since I have been inquireing about his religion, I don't understand how he would get involved with me in the first place. Especially due to what he can be punished with.
He has not pushed anything on me to convert, but who knows what will happen when his parents find out about me. I really don't have any desire to follow this lifestyle. And for my daughters sake, this would be very bad. My Ex would definitely use this against me to gain custody and to lose my daughter would be like putting a knife in my chest. So I am very happy with my religion even moreso that I have been faced with this predicament.
I really hopeso too, it is a real shame that he can't be open to me. He doesn't see it at all. He thinks he is very honest with me. It is almost like a mental block from everything that pertains to them. He just can't seem to open up to reality, that I need to know what will happen.
In time I will see.
Thanks

just curious,.
do women still go for the tough guy image.
just a little bit scary but the kind of man that other men move aside for.
My man always makes my heart race when he steps into the room. He once showed up at my job unexpectedly to take me to lunch... I couldn't handle it, and I couldn't get out of work quick enough!
He isn't very muscular, and that is fine with me. He thinks his arms are too scrawny, but I think they are perfect. Yet all his friends have their bets on me that I can kick his ass and he admits to it as well... He definitely is the sweet and sensitive type and I love him for it. He would never get a tatoo... but I want one!
A lot of the guys I used to date were the fireman/cop image. That was way too much for me to handle. I want to know that he would never hurt me, and that I can fight back if need be. I definitely needed a change for the good, and I snagged a good one that I am very happy with.
The image I don't think really isn't important, as long as the whole package is just right!

I do respect him and his beliefs, I don't put down anyone for what they follow. I have many friends that follow religions that are different than mine and I respect all of what they need to follow (If I can keep Kosher for my Orthodox Jewish friends, I can respect this). I think everyone should follow a religion, if they believe in it. Religion is the basis for how one acts, respects others and how they fit in society.
If you were referring to my comment about turing off the TV program, you read it out of context. That is what I would have thought he would respond to me if I turned it off on my own. Once I realized what was on, I really didn't know what to do. I just thought it was hilarious after the fact. It was just a coincidence that it was on at that moment and his reaction wasn't what I expected.
I am just annoyed with the fact that he doesn't share anything with me and does infact live two separate lives. He needs to find out a way to merge them into one, and very soon. This will directly effect me in the future and this is what bothers me. We do love eachother very much and I don't want to be without him. It is just very hard for me to deal with, since he doesn't open up to me and puts me in the dark. This is the only thing that I disrespect him for, because he was not honest with me and that really hurts.
I really don't want to lose him, I want to understand him. I want to make this work and that is why I came here, to get answers to my questions that he won't or can't answer. I really am starting to understand why he did what he did, I don't agree with it, but I see what his point is.
I never asked him to drop the religion, and with the same respect I told him that I will never drop mine. This made me realize that I can't live without what I grew up believing and I don't think he can either. I wouldn't expect him to, and I know that it will always be a part of him no matter what happens.
And for the books... I will read whatever is the best sources to find the answers. I looked up the books that you had previously referred to and I couldn't find any of them on my own. Although, I was able to read the pamphlet on the watchtower site. I just feel very weird asking him for them myself.
Thanks again,

My OB did recommend it when I was pregnant... it helps to flush out the system and if it works, don't knock it, right...
