When Your S.O. Has a Different Vocation Than You

“You are not an extra in someone else’s vocation story.”

We all know breakups are tough, and most of the time they are occasions of intense sadness and hurt, but what happens when your significant other breaks up with you for the religious life? Do you feel angry that they didn’t realize their vocation sooner, guilty for wanting to be with them, or just sad that you’re not who they’re meant to be with? Reactions to this kind of heartbreak are unpredictable, but the important thing to remember is that you have a vocation of your own, and it’s not any less important than the person entering religious life.

Today, Father Mike shares his story of leaving a relationship to enter the seminary.
