Hi,

There's this guy I dated for a little and we have since broken up. He talked to me recently and explained his reasons for breaking up with me and it made me rethink everything. He honestly checks all the boxes for me, except he is very into his religion and I am an atheist. He doesn't care, but we both feel like getting back together can only cause pain since it'll have to end at some point. We both know how much we care about each other and although the love word hasn't been mentioned since the breakup it's there for both of us. We've talked about everything from marriage to raising kids and he said he will only marry within his faith. It kills both of us because we can't imagine life without each other, but we don't know how to make it work.

Has anybody had an experience with this? What did you do?
