However, I'm having doubts about our compatibility. I'm a gypsy, he's a status quo kind of guy, but the biggest thing is that he's a born again Christian & I'm not very religious at all. This wasn't an issue at all until recently. I'm faced with the possibility of moving out of state for a job. The problem is that we're not ready to move in together, let alone move together out of state. When we talked about this possibility, he said we should pray to God for guidance on how to proceed if this happens. Well, this frustrated me. I can't say why, but that's how I felt.
I just have this nagging feeling that maybe he'd be better off with another born-again Christian. It's not that I don't believe in God. I do. I was raised Roman catholic, went to Catholic school, but I prefer to be private with my spirituality, while he loves getting neck deep in church activities & bearing witness to others & stuff like that. He always said that it didn't matter to him if I wanted to be involved with his church. I feel bad, though, when he asks if I want to come to this or that at church, & I just don't feel comfortable in those situations.
We're compatible in so many others ways. The big thing is that I cannot have children, nor do I wish to adopt. I'm just not a motherly person. He doesn't want kids either. It's been VERY hard to find someone who feels this way. However, the religious issue is starting to put doubts into my mind.
Any thoughts? Advice?

Sorry you have to go through this.
