Would you leave someone who didn't believe you?

A few rare nights, one having been earlier this week, he'll roll over and just hold me and stroke my arm (he doesn't touch when he sleeps, he sleeps 'alone' on his side).

I often wished he would understand what my beliefs are and understand what I go through, his mother does, and his brother(s) (one I'm unsure of, I dislike him.) does, so what is keeping him?

I need him to be grounded, I need him the way I found him, I need him to be the man I fell in love with. Rock solid, Brave, adventurous, skeptical, intelligent, quiet and introverted, even standoffish and serious to those who he doesn't let in, but the most caring, loyal, and generous friend/family you could EVER have... I see the facets of my diamond of a husband no one does, and I appreciate having those. He and I are very different, and bring different things to the table.

If I left my husband, it would never be because he doesn't experience the spiritual things I do.

If it was merely a disbelief, but with respect for my beliefs, then no I would not leave. It all goes back to respect. If your partner doesn't respect you, then there is no relationship.
