Hi all,
Just curious, to any of you that are married or in relationships, what sort of beliefs does your spouse or SO have? Do they have similar or are they different?
I have been seeing someone for about two months now. She is a graduate student and she (in my opinion) everything you could want in a girlfriend.Except for one thing, she is a die in the wool atheist/materialist. She is not even opened mined to the idea of an afterlife, psi etc. Back when I was a lot more active with this material, I spent hours trying to get a grip on these topics. I am always open to being wrong, but I felt that I came to an intellectual honest conclusion based on the data. Well like most people, she hasn't spent the amount of time researching this stuff that people in this forum have. I did not think that her views would matter that much but they do, her staunch opposition to them, even though she has not done the reseach that I have. We have talked about it a couple times and she always comes off (in a kind way) like I have some sort of gap in my logic. I realized how important is was for me to her to be also open to my beliefs and maybe come towards agnoisticism. I talked to her about it and she thought I was overacting and it wasn't that important.
I just want different opinions on the subject.....
