Dear Suzanne Baker:

I understood that it didn’t work before because he decided he had a change of mind about your religion, to which he converted so to please you and your parents. Following his change of mind, you were angry at him. During the year apart you too had a change of mind about your religion.

In your last post you wrote: “it didn’t work then, why would it work now?” Because now you are okay with him not being of your religion.

Maybe you are afraid, simply afraid that it will not work out, for whatever reason. But you and him had such a great connection, from your share, a history of a loving relationship (until it was interrupted by religion), so I hope you do gather the courage to find out. That is, IF you really are okay with him not being of any particular religion AND if you are okay with your parents not approving of him as your future husband.
