Confliction of Love (Friends of Cube, Read)

I will warn ahead of time that, even though I don't normally bring it up, religion and personal feelings will be displayed here. I trust that you are a friend of mine, and will share the same respect and understanding as I would for you.

A few weeks ago, I had the entire world in my hands. But after a fateful day, the love I thought forever left me. She left me...to follow her religion's confined rules.3

 4

The girl I speak of was with me in a long distance relationship. We made it work. For three years. She's beautiful in my eyes. But she is Jewish. And I follow no religoon or faith.5

 6

Because of her faith, she is not allowed to date or marry outside of her own religion. In otherwords, she must be with a jewish man. She was going to ignore this rule and hopefully get her mother to understand how she felt. She tried to talk about it once, and was punished. Now, she can't bare to go behind her mother's or her family's back.  So, she broke up with me. 7

 8

I wasn't sure how to take it. To be upset with her, her family, or her eniter faith and religon. To me and my understanding, faith and religoon were ways to find peace and happines in life, but what sort of happiness would it bring to her if it won't let her be free to do what she wants and date who she pleases.9

 10

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to move on...or at least try to...it has been very difficult to do so. I'm not so much the public social type. I have been pretty down recently, but I'm just barely getting by at least.11

Thank you for taking the time to read this, though it is mostly just a way to get things off of my chest.13

    It seems to me like she was carrying a lot of weight in your relationship by going against her own beliefs. But have you tried the same? As in at least trying to get into her religion, and understanding the reasons in which she can't do what you were asking her to. I have the highest of respect for you... just for being able to stay with a girl three years...That itself is a great accomplishment my friend. I don't know crucial details, but my advice to you is to just try her ways, if not just go through the motions to please her parents. We always decide what happens, it's just realizing that you have a choice, and putting it into action that cripples us.

      She won't let me do that just to please her parents and to be with her. She said if I were to convert to her religion, I would have to be doing it for myself. THe thing is, she know that I can't do that.

    getting things off of your chest is sometimes the best way to help yourself. Writing it down sometimes just allows your thoughts to flow from the damn(play on words intended). It's like an epiphany and helps you free the thoughts of a simple what if statement.. Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power and allows it to grow more. Simply use it as something that will allow you to bring yourself closer to who you truly are. It may be hard to live daily life without thinking of her or talking to her and there may be a void. Fill it with something else gradually. Do not let something consume you.
    You can not stop someone from doing something once it is drilled into their mind and they have made it up. Perhaps religion is higher on her priority list than a relationship at this point in her life. Allow this to build yourself into a stronger person for future relations and create a sturdy foundation for it. If she chose her family and their views at this point and time maybe she is not meant to be with you. If you let her go and at a later time she comes back... she was meant to be yours. You will find who you are meant to be with in the oddest place.
    Good luck...
