In a way, yes.
In 2008, my early college years, I had a classmate in English who was a devout Catholic. We’d started having lunch together after class, one could call it dating, he did admit having an attraction to me.
After a while, it became a struggle to tolerate having a conversation with this guy, Louis, because he could never leave Catholicism out of it and maybe halfway into the semester our class read the play ‘A Doll’s House’. The essay prompt of whether or not Nora, the female protagonist was right to leave her husband Torvald at the end sparked some controversial discussions between us about divorce about which we had conflicting views.
He of course, was convinced of the bible’s claim that it was a sin except in the case of abuse but being the child of a single mother who’d left her first husband, my father because an age gap made them quite different and she was no longer happy, I believe in concepts like marrying the wrong person for the wrong reason and respect for oneself and one’s right to happiness.
It got to the point where he wanted to convert me. I’m pretty sure he even once directly told me as much and he kept wanting to take me to the Catholic church literally right next to our campus, which I always refused by saying, truthfully that I had to catch my bus home.
We ended up in an email conversion in which he told me that he feared my soul was damned because I was not Catholic and did not believe divorce was a sin.
That was it, I’ve never felt more uncomfortable in my life, I wanted nothing more to do with him.
Fortunately, he was due to transfer after that semester was over anyway, so I got rid of him without even trying.
If anyone happened to see the point that religion/beliefs/lifestyles being pushed on me in my answer to the relationship dealbreaker thread…yup, this is why.
