Question

I'm so torn, my pastor said I shouldnt be with my girlfriend because she's a woman and it goes against our church's teachings, but my people back home have always taught me to follow my heart and love whoever makes me happy, I feel like I'm being pulled in two different directions and I dont know what to do, I love her so much but at the same time I dont want to disappoint my family or community... I just wish they could understand that love is love no matter what, my girlfriend is an amazing person and she makes me feel seen and heard in a way that no one else ever has, I feel like I'm losing myself in all of this, I just want to be happy and be with the person I love

Dante Garcia · Answer

I've been in a similar situation, my family didnt want me to date my partner because of our different backgrounds, but I knew they were the one for me. What helped me was having an open conversation with my family, explaining how I feel & why this person is so special to me. I also took time to think about what I truly believe in, dont let others dictate your happiness, you have to make the choice that's right for you. Talk to your girlfriend, see what you both want, then have a calm conversation with your pastor & family, maybe they'll see things from your perspective 💪
