That is not an easy one, to be sure.

My boyfriend is a strongly committed Christian.

I am not. I'm not even one part of one of the "big three" (Abrahamic) religions. I am Pagan.

He, however, knows and accepts this. In fact, we end up having a lot of interesting discussions based on this. We do share a lot of other commonalities, and our relationship is more so based on that. He knows I won't try to convert him, he won't try to convert me. Not everybody is capable of that level of understanding. Converting is something that should be a matter of belief, not just for the sake of a relationship ... a life choice, like a religion, is a very personal thing.

The physical distance that you are facing is also going to put a major strain on your relationship.

Good luck with this, to be sure.
