I’d never do that again, I don’t find it very fun at all.

My partner is atheist as am I - I can see the problem but seems only a problem if converting someone is part of the mix if you can love each other as you are without wanting change you have it made! I have had in the past people crying at me that htey don't want me to die and not go to heaven with them - Its a big turn off and doesnt work.

I haven't been in that situation but I have some very good friends who are Christians. Someone's beliefs isn't what I find to be a problem, it's when people feel the need for me to believe what they do when it becomes a problem. And that goes both ways. You don't have to respect other people's beliefs but you do need to respect other people's right to decide what they believe.

I think it comes down to repect, love, compassion, and understanding. Of course it can be difficult to maintain a relationship with someone with a vastly different view than your own, but as long as everyone involved is willing to put in the work, it's possible.

Religion did not contribute to my marriage breakdown, or to the demise of my only other relationship with a believer.

To me it will always boil down to respect. How can faith respect lack of faith? And how can an Atheist respect beliefs not based on fact? If you can’t respect your partner is there really anything there? Unless it’s sexual! Sex is always a great motivator to stay in shitty relationships.
