My friends always come to me for advice, especially about relationships, considering I have had a serious one fall short and I am in a happy one as of now. I came across a question today that I could not help, This girl is my best friend and has been dating her boyfriend for almost 11 months now.

well, im pretty sure it really bothers ---- that im not very religious. and i feel bad, but its not something i can just change overnight. and i think it like, really bugs him

She really likes this boy and I don't want their relationship to fail, is there anything I could say to help?

From want I can tell no. In the end it'll come down to him accepting that she is not as religious as him or her putting up with any religious rants he may have form time to time. If they can look pass that then their is no prob but if they can't...

I've seen people in relationships like that before. Long and happy ones too. The religious one tends to just pry for the both of them and hold out hope that the other will come around. While the non religious one tends to respect the religious one's view and hears them out so as not to upset them.

It is pointless to try and yourself to make someone else happy if you are unhappy doing it. Just learn to accept people for who they are and you'll have a happier life.

lol, there is a good reason to have some old people as friends, odds are one of them have lived through or seen something that can help you.

People need to pay more attention to grandma and grandpa. lol

Its all about acceptance. My ultra christian friend went out with my agnostic friend.

They both wore green at prom D:

But yeah, in the end, its all about acceptance. If the guy wants her to convert then I'd say there is something wrong, but that isn't the case right now.

Just be yourself. It isn't that hard really...
