I wish you the absolute best. If Bob is right for you, I hope you find your way back together. If not, move on. Hanging on without closure simply extends pain.
You will not open the eyes of conservative Christians in a setting like this. If anything, they just confirmed their beliefs further.
Hugs to you. Today is a new day.

I suspect your ex has taken back up with his ex & the fight was an excuse to dump you.

In such a situation, both the (ex) boyfriend and the original poster should have excused themselves.
