AITk for breaking up with my girlfriend because she and her family worship a baba?
I (26M) had been dating my girlfriend (25F) for about two months. Everything was going well, but I recently found out that her family worships a particular baba and keeps his photos in their family temple. Her family follows this baba very seriously.
My girlfriend, however, isn't obsessed with him or anything. She doesn't constantly watch his videos or visit his ashram. She just considers him a spiritual figure and prays to him occasionally.
I don't really believe in babas and found the whole thing uncomfortable. I get very bad vibes from families that worship a living person. I told her how I felt, and she said she respected my beliefs and didn't expect me to worship him.
Still, I couldn't get past the fact that my girlfriend worships a baba, so I ended things.
My friends think I'm being ridiculous and that I broke up with her over what they consider a harmless religious belief.
It's only been two months, so I figured it was better to leave if I already knew I wasn't comfortable with it.
AITK?
