Is it important to you that your significant other is a communist?

      This is similar for my partner and me. We were not communists when we met. We didn’t even talk about politics then, but we did talk about religion a lot. I was a deconstructing Christian when we first met, they were a long-time atheist. Although I was pretty political at the time, I was in a transition period and more looking to learn more and we ended up learning together.

          Thats right. I use it to say I was questioning foundational portions of Christianity instead of more interdenominational questions. It was a somewhat short period as I transitioned into a more explicit atheist view. Idk if the term was around at the time. I think I called myself an agnostic Christian or something just as we met. Previously I would not have been comfortable around an atheist. Some people might say I’m still a deconstructing Christian because I think some people use it as a sort of post-Christian or skeptical Christian identity that encompasses more than agnostics or atheists or changing religions, but also some Christians. I’d say my relationship with my partner helped me be able to see myself as a total non-Christian and atheist. Thanks for reading my life story lmao
