I once made a religious girl fall in love with an atheist. If you feel like reading, this is the story of how I was betrayed by my best friend.
A few years ago I worked at a grocery store. One day a new girl started working there. I instantly had a crush on her. There aren't many people who I remember seeing for the first time. She's one of them.
Eventually, when I was 23, I left that job but kept in touch with her. One day I asked her to go ice skating and we had a wonderful time; a "why haven't we been dating the entire time" type of date. My best friend, who I'd known literally almost my entire life (20+ years of friendship) also liked her. He and her go to the same church. I knew she was religious, but my friend had never spoken a word to me about his beliefs. I texted her and told her that we both liked her, and she chose me. I ok'd it with my friend and she and I began dating. It was the best part of my life. We loved each other harder than anything I've ever felt. It was the most beautiful thing I've experienced thus far.
Some time into the relationship, she started telling me stories about my friend telling her that he couldn't stand to see her date anyone else. One day I caught him tagging her in romantic quote pictures on Instagram. Eventually, he started straight up telling her she shouldn't be with me because I'm not religious. I'm not, but I couldn't have been open and accepting of her faith. But he kept drilling it into her head.
And you know what? It worked.
She started seeing him and making up excuses for why she couldn't see me. Homework this, homework that. I once made a bonfire for her and waited outside in the rain for her to call me back, and I would later find out she was late because she was with him.
May 24, 2015, she and I laid on the couch watching TV. My family was gone. At this point, she was sleeping in my arms. I kissed her forehead 100,000 times as she slept. The next day... Cont.
