Hi,
This is my first time on here. As a man, I would welcome some sound advice from the woman's point of view. Its Saturday night. My partner P has just stormed out on me because I didn't want to go out with her to a church service, which she just informed me was very special to her. She said we dont get many Saturday nights together (which is true because I work night shifts), and she also said that I have turned my back on God as well. I said don't you think that's being over dramatic?
She left the house. As well as being a strong believer, she is a street pastor on Saturday nights once a month, so he went out to do her ministry helping the homeless etc.
I myself am a bit more introverted than she is, and I am not keen on going to church events on a Saturday night. I said I didn't feel like going and that it wasn't my thing-it was some kind of church social he had been looking forward to ("it was on my heart" she said-I didn't know...she ws trying to pressure me into going with her-I know she doesn't like going alone to these things-but then we do come from different church backgrounds...I do go along to her church occasionall-but not recently as it is not my thing-she is Evangelical Christian, and I am Catholic.
P and I have been living together for only 9 months, we are supposed to be a mature couple...I know you are going to say talk to her... I am sorry I have disappointed her, hopefully she will get over it...I don't think it is true that I have turned away from God though...I'm just not too keen on Evangelical Christian versions. How should I apologise? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
