tl;dr - I decided to seek out God in late 2016 and brought my GF of then almost 1.5 years with me. In 2017 we both joined the Church and everything is great, she's my first real love, we get along like great friends, and have a very happy, healthy relationship. Things are not perfect tho, we both want to get married and have a large, Christian family, but -
She's still tied to her past through her college bff. She went through a very promiscuous phase in those years unfortunately (this isnt necessarily a deal breaker for me, we both lived very secular lives before finding the Lord so I'm really in no place to judge, although it makes me uncomfortable that she has a lot more sexual experience than I do, more partners, etc.) and this other girl was her bff then, sometimes going to strip clubs together, etc, etc.
All this would be fine (past is the past, again we both lived secular lives before finding the church) however the problem is that she insists on still being friends with this girl. I, on the other hand completely abandoned my previous life and wish it never happened. I havent contacted anyone from it in literally years, shes still closely in touch with hers through this girl.
I love this woman and want to be with her, we've been dating almost 3 years now and I want things to work out, but I'm not raising a family where the mother/wife is close friends with a purple haired witch (no, I'm not exaggerating, but to be fair my GF became somewhat more traditional after college, her friend - not so much).
Guys, what to do?
I had the great idea to try and replace her bff with one/some of the ladies from Church but so far this hasnt gone anywhere. GF doesnt make friends that easily, shes introverted like me.
Do I keep trying to make this happen? Part of me wants to give her an ultimatum but I'm afraid that this kind of thing drives people deeper towards something, not away from it.
what do?
pls consider praying for me in this dilemma either way, thanks.
