Hi
My boyfriend,has been very involved with the church for the last 8-9 years and both volunteers and works there 3 days a week.On top of this he works a full time job from 8-4 , five days a week.
Since we have been together(8months) he has only reduced the time he spents at the church by half a day every fortnight.I support him being involved with the church, but it really upsets me that it will always come first to him.
He told me no woman will come between him and god.We only spent one day (Saturday) together once a week, Every other day is work! Am I terrible to be getting upset that we will never be able to go away on long weekends,or do normal family stuff on a Sunday, because of his committment there?
My way of thinking is you can have a family and be involved in the church, but maybe volunteering as much as he does should be cut back so he can be here for me and strengthen our relationship.We could even attend church together half the day, or he could find a balance between being supportive to me and the church.I work with church groups in my line of work, and understand the importance of religion in someones life, but I believe family and god go hand in hand. Am I wrong?
Can anyone give me some advice?
