I have had the same boyfriend for 6 1/2 years at this point. For the vast majority of this time, he has been great (very supportive, non-judgemental, etc.). We even got engaged over Christmas break; and I moved in with him this summer.

However, the past two or three weeks have been difficult. We haven't been communicating as much and the romance component has been dwindling. He doesn't say all the sweet stuff he used to say before, and I think it has been like, 2 1/2 weeks minimum since we have had sex (which is way long, I think). At the same time, I am looking for work that would utilize my college major. And, to top it off, earlier this week, my boyfriend met up with his minister (we are of different faiths by the way) and was basically told by his minister than G-d would not sanction an interfaith marriage, in particular that Christians should only marry other Christians if they want
G-d's blessing. He takes his minister's advice very seriously and wants me to convert (which I will not do, as I cannot change my basic religious beliefs; and why should I have to anyway, you know?). Consequently, we have been sort of discussing the issue of religion angrily off and on ever since that meeting with his minister, but haven't resolved the issue at all.

I don't know. Things have just gotten a little tricky lately. I really really hope that our relationship is not hopelessly ****ed up, but it has been feeling that way recently. I totally fear a schizoaffective relapse at this point. My mood is not elevated, to say the least. I love this guy and if he drops me I will be crushed (and nearly friendless for that matter). I just don't know what the **** to do (please excuse my language). Advice?
