I used to think that it should be easy for people of different faiths to be together as long as they respect each other's beliefs, but I think it would be hard or impossible for most people to have healthy romantic relationships with people whose beliefs are too different. If their beliefs are not exclusive, like neither of them is in a faith that says it is the only true one, then it would be easier. But if one party believes that one religion is a must for getting into heaven/not going to hell/whatever, then that would pretty much strain any relationship, I would think. Plus at some point there's likely to be a moment or two (or more) where one person laughs or rolls their eyes at something the other one believes, and that is a big ol' can of worms there. For some reason, remarks about someone's beliefs always seem to feel extra personal.
So as for something personal... I dated a guy in high school who was a smooth-talkin' asswipe. He kept 16-year-old me hooked on him by telling me that he loved me and I meant the world to him, etc. But he always went out with other girls behind my back and would go for weeks at a time without calling me. So I got sick of it and started dating someone else... and he told the other guy he was "giving" me to him as a "Christmas present." Yep.
Oh my what an asshat! I would have knocked his teeth out through his family jewels...
His teeth were already knocked out because he fell asleep while driving and crashed his truck! rofl He had some convincing false placeholders hooked onto his braces, so it wasn't noticeable, however.
Sound like a real horrible kinda guy...
He was. And from what I've heard from friends who have seen him in the last few years he is not any different, except he's not nearly as good-looking as he was in high school so he gets a lot fewer women to fall for him these days! whee
10 years ago a group of us from this city went off to college together and were a pretty inseparable group for the first year we were there. He was among us and we all knew he was still in a relationship with a girl from home who was a couple years behind us in school. We knew he was trying his hardest to cheat on her - at first he tried to get back with me, which almost worked, but I wised up (and then found out about his girlfriend, which would have been an instant Game Over anyway). He had zilch luck with any other girls at school too. Then one of my roommates found out he had a Yahoo Personals profile, actively seeking someone on there.
So my three roommates and I created a fake identity, Delilah Wildes. We were planning to use her to contact him on Yahoo and chat him up for a while and then eventually after having our fun, we were going to have her ask him to dinner and we were all going to show up and buy him dinner to apologize for messing with him. HOWEVER. LOL. We scrapped the dinner idea once we created an AIM screen name for her, chatted with him a good bit, and then asked him about his friends. He had bad things to say about almost all of us. I think I was actually the only one he didn't insult somehow, but he misspelled my name, which is not hard to spell by any stretch... So we never fessed up.
