It’s not abuse. |
NP. Going on about she "hates him"? Yes it is abuse. It's histrionic and accusatory and based on nothing that she did. OP, get rid of him. |
|
This isn't about religion, it's about the person and he seems too complicated. We all know Jews and Palestinians, some are complicated and others aren't, even with similar burdens and experiences.
|
Agree that that sounds crazy. Which is why you need to talk, ideally in person, rather than trade emails. |
| End the relationship and good riddance. He is off |
|
He doesn’t want to marry someone who isn’t Jewish. He didn’t think the relationship would get this far. Or, he has met the Jewish woman of his dreams.
He is trying to get you to break up with him. Do yourself a solid and do that. |
| He needs to stop dating women who aren't Jewish. He is just wasting their time. |
|
Thanks all. Yeah I can’t deal with whatever chip is on his shoulder and is applying it to me. Am in Japan right now so email is not suffice.
No trials and tribulations other than finding a job and things like that. My last name is typical of Catholics from Chicago. So I must be evil! I already ran his email past my Jewish friends from college and back home. Something is off and his father, playing bad cop, is making him choose between love and his family. We have a lot of other things in common, just not our secular-like religious practices. No matter how I understand his is more important to him than vice versa. -OP |

Yeah, he sucks. He wanted to use you for sex and for fun but doesn't want to marry you, so to feel less guilty he is calling you anti-semitic. WTF.
Dont answer crazy with crazy. Calmly deny his accusations and then say obviously you cannot continue dating someone who feels this way about you. End it. And don't go back. |
There are plenty of Catholic guys in this country. Start going to mass at different places, seek them out online, maybe see if your mom or aunts know anyone. It's pretty common for Jewish guys to waste Christian girls' time by dating them for a while and then dumping them because they aren't Jewish. Be wary of that and don't waste too much time with someone who is Jewish (meaning make sure you get engaged within 18 months or move on) or don't date them at all. |
| To accuse you of being antisemitic is beyond the pale, and terribly disrespectful. He needs to have the ba**s to tell you he wants to break up and end it civilly. I’m sorry. |
Over 60% of Jewish marriages since 2010 are to non-Jews, so can’t blame OP for thinking this would work, but these are unusual times and the guy sounds neurotic and immature (easily manipulated by his pushy parents). Dump him and move on. You do not want these people for in-laws in any event. |
Jealous Jewish woman ^^. |
He sure does sound like an a**hole |
Not op and I agree. It's so sexist and condescending. |
