Dear Annie: I have a beautiful 3-month-old daughter. We live close to my parents, and they baby-sit “Abby” all the time.

The lady friend and I are really good together. We don’t fight, we love each other and we treat each other really well. Every component of a good relationship is in place. It sounds like a good problem, huh? The only problem is she is religious and I am not. And it is against her belief system to be with me the way that we are. In order to save this ship, I will have to go against my own beliefs on marriage and religion. Basically, I have been handed an ultimatum. Is it wise of me to attempt to put myself in this religion in order to fix the problem? Even when I know that it really is not for me? It will break us up. I just want to know, Is this ship worth saving, or should I let it sink? I feel like that really bad Meat Loaf song. “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that” — it’s a very bad song!
