Guest Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi. I've been dating my boyfriend for 2.5 years now and I love him a lot but I've been having some doubts about our relationship lately. He turned 21 in October and since then has began drinking a lot with his friends. I do not mind except that when he is drunk he says and does things which make me feel uncomfortable. I have talked to him about this and he says he'll try to control himself but everytime he drinks it is the same. In addition, I recently went to my great-grandmother's funeral and realized that religion is still an important part of my life. I've had some issues with religion and haven't been to church in years. But visiting my family made me realize that God is still important to me. My boyfriend meanwhile is an aethist. This hasn't been a problem for us before because I've stayed away from the church but now I want to go back and I'm not sure if our relationship can work through such a big difference in thinking about life. And finally, I've found myself becoming interested in a mutual friend of ours. We started flirting as an inside joke among my friends but I find that I am really attracted to him. I realize that perhaps it could be because I'm having doubts about my boyfriend and this guy is both religious and can control himself while drinking but it is still confusing me. What should I do?
