Never change yourself for someone else. The person you love should love you the way you are right now. This is the problem with a lot of religious people, they want you to be like them and then give you the cold shoulder when you say you don't want to.

My girlfriend is full on Hindu. When I go over to her place I eat vegetarian- food is food as long as it's tasty! But never has she asked me to follow her beliefs. Her family often holds gatherings where they worship some gods (Not going to lie, I find it very hard to follow cause they talk in hindi most of the time...), I always attend to mingle with her family and friends. It's more of a social thing for everyone.

She and her family respects me and my non-beliefs and I respect theirs. We don't compare our quality of lives about it. She often tell me stories about her deities, I think they're all bullshit but those stories do have some pretty decent morals. Of course I'll never say to her face that I think they're all bullshit but I do let her know my thoughts on it. She knows I don't like to be preached on and she knows I eat meat when she's not around (I try to avoid meat if I know I'm going to see her later in the day). She doesn't kiss me differently or withhold anything (well not for religious reasons anyway >.<)

I think you should meet eachother halfway. Maybe you can go vego when you're with him or if he's really pushy, and if he's really worth it, go full-time vegetarian. But to change what you believe is not exactly possible... You're always going to keep at the back of your head that you only converted to make him happy and that thought will eat at you from the inside out... He has to learn to respect you. How dare he reject you a good kiss because he doesn't want to accept you for the way you are? He has too meet you in the middle and tolerate that you don't want to change yourself. That this is who you are and this is who he loves.

Sorry if that was too long... I felt I needed to explain how a good relationship with different beliefs should be

A relationship can certainly work if each person respects the other's beliefs and doesn't try to change them (unless they wanted to be changed).

One month? You shouldn't change for anyone. Even if he seems like a great guy now, a relationship is only worth it when both people are happy. It seems like if you give in, you'll be unhappy; and if you don't, he'll be unhappy.

What should you do is tell him that you respect his beliefs but you also respect your own, and if he respects you, he will respect your beliefs without trying to change them. That, or he should find a religious woman and stop stressing you out.

Don't change yourself for anyone else. If won't be worth it in the end and you'll just end up unhappy.

You need to find someone who respects your beliefs.

maybe with some give and take on both sides
