My family didn't bless him because he is an atheist.

...See more It sounds not authentic when we tell everyone we met from WordPress. People will say that 'it's just a phase' to tell us that we will never make it. 3 years later, we were still together and planning on getting married. The relationship was perfect. It was a long-distance relationship, but we were very content. We talk with each other every day, call and video call so often. We barely argue and talk so easily with each other. We feel nothing but comfort with each other. When we are meeting, it will be such great physical affection and just became the best day ever. When I'm with him, even just washing dishes feels like I'm winning a lottery. But my family didn't want him to be with me. He is an atheist. My family is a conservative, almost far-right people, that are Christian. They want a man from the same religion for me. They want me to be devout that will also breed a devout kid. It has been our main issue since the beginning. But we in these 3 years have been trying to be together. I even 'converted' to be an agnostic because of him. I want him so much that I keep reading a book about 'science and how religion is not aligned with the creation of the world.' But now after all the effort, after all the promises he made, he decided he can't be with me without my family's blessing. We even talked about 'lie that you're a Christian' to my family. We talked about trying him to speak to my family that he's a good person even without a religion. But yeah, it is all ending because he decided he can't pretend to be something that he is not. I am devastated and so angry at him. I understand his reasoning, but why he seems to be chickening out now? Why should he wait for 3 years before this decision? Does he care more about a 'simple' lie more than me? I tried so hard that even I throw my belief for him. I am so sad and heartbroken that he won't also sacrifice something for me.
