Assuming that you and your partner are not married, you're feeling of guilty very well may be the issue. Within my faith (Christian, could be different from others) you may be having what we would call conviction. I'm not sure how much knowledge you have on the word in its context, but put simply it is the feeling of guilt (duh!... stay with me) Anyway, if you are feeling convicted, there are a few things that you should probably do, and I'll keep it practicable...
1) Priorties
- What is most important to you?
You're feeling guilty for a reason and don't know what the cause is... You said it might be your religion... you NEED to identify WHY you think it is your religion. (what aspect of it makes you feel that way?)
- Why does your religion make you feel guilty?
or
Why do you feel guilty about your religion?
Figure out specifics, to feel guilty means that TO YOU, you are doing something wrong... I'm not going to go into Biblical details because this is a YOU issue first... get it straight with you first, then if you want, I can address the Biblical stuff later. You know something or think you may know something, but you're denying it or suppressing it.
2) Your "Needs"
- What are your needs (basically, what do you worry about most)?
(food, shelter, car, sex, money, drugs, religion, etc...)
- Lastly, do you feel your needs are clashing?
Simple enough question.
Of course, you don't have to answer to me or answer me in any way... these are solely for you to think about, because again, this is a YOU issue and you're asking for advice... which I'm just trying to steer you thru the faith based part. Again, I didn't throw any biblical stuff in there because at this time, I don't think it's needed. If you'd like, then just let me know. Hope it works out for you.
