He constantly mentions his faith, he is very faithful to God. He is Protestant; I am Catholic. When we have conversations about my praying the rosary, he indirectly says that praying the rosary is not in the Bible, it’s an “extra” created by the Catholic faith and we’re worshipping Mary and the saints, because we’re praying through them; that this is a form of idolatry.

It’s very unsettling, like it’s like such a big deal. Maybe this is part of his criteria that in order to be his partner, our faith must be aligned. Ireland has been a particular target of religious struggles between Catholics and Protestants ever since Cromwell encouraged English and Scottish Protestants to settle in Ireland in the mid-1650’s by granting them land previously owned by Irish Catholics .

He is the first person you feel “so compatible” with. That is a big deal, especially since this has happened despite liking — perhaps even loving — so many other people in all your 29 years.
