so i got dumped. saw it coming so i put up the barricades. her reasons were as follows:
religion
politics
lack of passion
lets start w/ lack of passion. i've used this one recently actually. i can't really complain about it and its a pretty valid reason. means we'll probably be friends if neither of us turns into horse's asses.
politics was a problem. at frist it was good because we'd have highly intellectual conversations. but then towards the end she would email something her father said about how the supreme court were a bunch of whores who made a mockery of the constitution, to which i would reply thats a common sentiment among the american population, right and left, and that why we don't vote on them. things like that got her gut. i don't get it, i didn't disagree w/ him. in fact i agreed and validated his viewpoint w/ precedent and further support. it still made her angry at me.
finally, religion. she's roman catholic and i'm an atheist. we had at least 3 multi-hour conversations about this subject. She thought my disinterest in believing in god was arrogant, and i thought her belief in Yahweh but not Ra was hypocritical. Things got serious between us despite this, and way to fast. She actually told me once that she was uncomfortable w/ the idea of raising children w/ an atheist or an agnostic. she brought this up when she broke up w/ me. i called her intolerant, and countered that children who were raised like that would be even stronger and smarter because of their experience w/ multiple viewpoints.
on a separate note, the bar is less than a month. my brain feels like its been run over by an 18 wheeler. i can't wait for this shit to be over, and i'm so glad that i don't have to worry about taking the california bar after this to appease the woman.
