[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Most of the Jews I know who married non-Jews were older, some were second marriages. I think when you are talking about 25yo, you will still find lots of young Jewish men being pressured by their families to marry within the faith. The family has less power when the young man is 40; and it is not even a thing when the couple are older and not going to have any children. (For example, I know of an elderly Jewish women who was married to a Jewish man, had Jewish children, was widowed and then married a non-Jew in her senior years.) [/quote]
