Is my relationship cooked w/ my jw boyfriend

I [30F] have been dating my boyfriend l [36M] for about 4 months, and things between us honestly feel amazing. We connect so well, communicate well, have similar goals, and I’m genuinely starting to fall in love with him.

Recently, he told me he grew up Jehovah’s Witness and wants to start going back to Kingdom Hall and reconnecting with his faith. I grew up Baptist, so this definitely caught me off guard a little.

I asked him directly if he’d expect me to convert eventually, and he said no, that it would completely be my choice. He hasn’t pressured me at all, and he’s been very respectful about it.

But now I’m sitting here wondering… realistically, how difficult is this long term? Especially if things continue getting serious.

Has anyone here been in a relationship between a Jehovah’s Witness and someone from a different Christian background? Did it work? What challenges came up?

I really care about this man and don’t want to ignore potential incompatibilities, but I also don’t want to panic over something that could be manageable with communication and respect.

I’m in love with a jehovas witness

The man I’ve been dating for the past 4 months told me he grew up Jehovah’s Witness and wants to start going back to Kingdom Hall. I grew up Baptist. How cooked is this relationship? 😭

I’m really falling in love with him, and honestly we’re so perfect together. I asked if he’d expect me to convert, and he said no, that it would be my choice.

But what do y’all think? Is there actually a chance this relationship could work?
& no I will not convert.
