I am coming out to my boyfriend tomorrow! Any advice?
We have been dating for a year and I was religious going into this relationship. I think it’s only fair to him to at least be honest because that’s what I admire about our relationship. He isn’t extremely religious but he is a Jehovah’s Witness and so is the rest of his family. We never really discussed religion even when I was religious; we respect each other’s beliefs and this makes me think nothing will change between us after. However, I don’t want to say the wrong thing. Anyone have advice?

That's tough. You hate to say it this way but hopefully he doesn't really believe in his religion. When I was religious, I'd torment myself over the people I loved that weren't going to heaven.. best case you'll find out he's questioning his religion as well. Who knows?

Yeah I get you. From what I’ve picked up from our year of dating is that I think he hates the practices and rules but he likes the idea that someone is watching over him. So it really can go either way you know

@chlorine413 it sure could. Here's to hoping for the best. I almost broke up with my wife when she was my girlfriend when I was still questioning my Christianity but she actually was very helpful and talked me through what the hell I thought I was doing for the lack of the same beliefs. I'm very glad I wasn't dumb enough to really do it.
