Need advise on what BF said over email

[Piamed]

Amiga, it appears to me that this part of his email cannot be fully comprehended without the rest of the text and a true understanding of the relationship and discussions you have had with this man.

You mention in a subsequent post that he is indeed a spiritual person and thus, it may not be unreasonable for him to say what he has said. It is not reasonable for a believer to review his relationship with God and make an effort to square things off with Him as he believes he should before seeking to engage in a lifetime commitment.

Perhaps he could engage you and together you can plan a spiritual development together but only if that is what works best for both parties. In any event, I hope and expect that he should be open and honest with you about all things that could affect your relationship.

All the best!

Hi Piamed. Thanks. This email is a follow-up from our conversation, asking me to be patient and not to pressure him to decide on something. I am also doing the same thing... really thinking hard if I am going to commit my life with him. We will talk about this again, but I would not initiate it. The decision must come from him as he has an issue, not me. Will keep everyone updated though.
