How did you cope with converting to be with someone? Recently I met someone with whom my values were profoundly different (I’m of an Atheistic religion and she was a fundamentalist Christian). This ultimately played a big part in why it didn’t work in addition to other stuff, but I tried to distance myself with my religion to appease her (this also bothered her because she wanted me to change, but felt bad about wanting that).

It didn’t feel right though and I failed to truly distance myself from it. My religion was not arbitrarily aquired, and was thus hard to disregard emotionally and cognitively
