Me (17M) and my girlfriend (17F) have been dating for about 6 months, but we’ve been close friends for over 10 years. Our relationship is amazing, and we’ve never had any major arguments or issues.
Lately, I’ve realized that my personal views on Christianity are shifting, and I don't feel the same faith I used to. She is a devout Christian, and she has made it clear that her faith is the absolute most important thing in her life. Because of this, I’m deeply conflicted. I care about her immensely, but I’m worried that she deserves to be with someone who fully shares her core values.
I decided to be completely honest with her about my doubts earlier today. She came over right away, deeply upset, and insists that we can work through this together and that my perspective might change down the road. Seeing how much pain this caused her made it incredibly difficult to think about breaking up. It’s later in the evening now, and I’m completely stuck. Do I stay in the relationship and try to find a faith I’m genuinely not sure will ever return? Or do I make the hard choice to end things because I want what is best for her long-term future?
TL;DR: My girlfriend and I have fundamentally different religious beliefs. I don’t know whether to stay and try to rebuild my faith for the relationship, or end things because our core values no longer align
