Should me and my girlfriend break up?
Me and my girlfriend have been going out for about a year and 7 months now. I am almost 19 and she is almost 18. When we first met we were both virgins. She didnt want to have sex too fast and i respect that so we waited for about 11 months. Then we were finally in a sexual relationship. I loved it obviously. My girlfriend is very religious while i am not. We already knew this alone could cause some problems, more for her. But after going to some church program thing recently she is debating if she wants to wait until marriage to have sex again. I dont want to wait until marriage and i wont be getting married any time soon. I dont want to pressure her to do something she doesnt want to do while staying with her, so i feel the best option is to break up so we can both find someone that fits us better, even though i love her very much. Is this what you think i should do?

Ignore the serial spammer.
Well dude, this is a tough one. And by tough, I mean you have to choose between something you don't want and something you don't want. It's like being asked which leg you'd rather cut off.
I say you've got to break it up with her, unfortunately. You said it yourself, you don't want to wait that long AND you don't want to pressure her. That only leaves one viable option, and the breakup is it. It's not fair for her to ask you to join her religion (or at least the not-fun part of it), you definitely don't want to compete with a guy like Jesus (you know, just in case) for this girl, you don't want to ask her to give up her faith, so what's left?
I don't envy you, not at all. In fact I've been where you are, so I know. But a relationship is never about just one person, you've got to ask what's in it for you. And no offence to anyone, but a lot of religion and no sex at all doesn't sound like very much.

Too young, too immature and too soon - at least for her. She's idealistic and wants to wait for marriage and you are obviously the one she's planning on settling down with. You, on the other hand, are happy to have sex outside marriage - presumably as long as it's with her. You don't want marriage yet but don't want to remain celibate. If you cannot reconcile these differences then maybe you should part. Sounds like neither of you has much experience of the big wide world and all its possibilities and temptations. You are both still ruled by your parents by the sound of it and their values and hopes/ideals. Nothing wrong with their hopes/values/ideals at all.....but with experience you will form some of your own and they may differ from the previous generation's because you live in a different world./century. Lay off the sex completely and see how you both get on. You both need to mix with groups of people of both sexes and widen your social activities. You've been closetted together for too long, too intensely and in the next 2-3 years almost everything about you both will change as you mature. Be friends, go out together platonically - but don't neglect everyone else. You need to do a lot of growing and exploring of career, life, people - before you settle down together.....or with other people. Good luck.

Honestly at ya'lls age.. more than likely you're not going to be together forever.. If you feel like you want more out of this relationship than its best not to continue.. but ultimately its your decision.. Good Luck
