My potential significant other cut me off tonight because I attend church on a regular basis. We have been talking a while and have got along and I didn't consider this any big deal but appearantly this person did and I just never saw it. It was just all of a sudden "I think you are freakin' nuts". Anybody think this is a valid reason or is it just a copout?

Well, people are different. I would as well. There's no way in (skip out of respect) I'd either get up early to go to church on a Sunday morning or have my SO's weekend tied up like this every single weekend. Granted, there's also the wide-spread Sunday football religion, but I don't condone that one, either. And that's just on the surface... I just know I'd never get along with such a person on any level. That's probably the case with your SO, too.

You obviously need to find another SO. If your into church and they are not...to the point of "cutting you off"...it's not going to work. Unless your willing to give up going to church. Is that something your willing to do for this person? Is this person willing to take such measures for you? I doubt it.

I would move on. This would be a point of contention the whole time. If they have cut you off already it is not going to get any better.

Everyone is different. If church is that important to you, then it's something that you should discuss early on in a relationship. Many people are anti-religious, certainly nothing strange about that.

You simply need to find someone that either agrees with your perspective, or does not care either way.

It is an area that is importing to agree on, or at least agree to disagree on but respect the others view and not "cut off someone" because you do not agree.

That would definitely be a deal-breaker for me as well. I do not think I could date someone who is the least bit religious.

That's what we're all saying - it's one of those things that should be quite clear early on. Actually, I'm surprised they're not as the whole outlook on life of religious people is colored by their beliefs and it's not something you're likely to miss...
