writes:I'm engaged, we've been together for 2 years now. I'm also pagan and he is agnostic. I go for religious festivals twice a year and recently asked him if I could have an altar in the house. He refuses to a) let any children we might have go to the festivals, and b) have an altar in the family room (bedroom only), yet, he wants our children to be baptized even though he isn't christian.Next problem, i was arguing with a friend of mine, and he jumped in and defended my friend. He always defends my friends.Next problem, I met someone. Someone cool, who i like, but I told them I couldn't see them because I'm in a relationship.I need to know if I should end my two year relationship? Or, should I try to talk things out? We have been fighting for a month about this, and it scares me. My religion is a big part of my life, and while I do not want to force my children into it, I would like to give them the option of a) getting baptized later in their life, b) going to my pagan gathers, or c) choosing a different religion that works for them. He obviously has no interest in letting them choose for themselves. So, should I break up with him, and start seeing other people, or should i try to make this work?
