I am coming out to my boyfriend tomorrow! Any advice?
We have been dating for a year and I was religious going into this relationship. I think it’s only fair to him to at least be honest because that’s what I admire about our relationship. He isn’t extremely religious but he is a Jehovah’s Witness and so is the rest of his family. We never really discussed religion even when I was religious; we respect each other’s beliefs and this makes me think nothing will change between us after. However, I don’t want to say the wrong thing. Anyone have advice?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That's tough. You hate to say it this way but hopefully he doesn't really believe in his religion. When I was religious, I'd torment myself over the people I loved that weren't going to heaven.. best case you'll find out he's questioning his religion as well. Who knows?

Yeah I get you. From what I’ve picked up from our year of dating is that I think he hates the practices and rules but he likes the idea that someone is watching over him. So it really can go either way you know
@chlorine413 it sure could. Here's to hoping for the best. I almost broke up with my wife when she was my girlfriend when I was still questioning my Christianity but she actually was very helpful and talked me through what the hell I thought I was doing for the lack of the same beliefs. I'm very glad I wasn't dumb enough to really do it.
