My boyfriend is considering becoming a priest.
Post Body

I (30f) am not exactly Catholic. But my boyfriend (31m) is a devout Catholic. He went to seminary for 3 years but felt priesthood maybe wasn't his calling. We've been dating for 2 years, several years since he decided to leave seminary. Through out our time dating, I've learned a lot about Catholicism. I've even been considering becoming confirmed next year. So I've been initiating the conversation to discuss if we are on the same page for the future we want. We discussed today that he isn't feeling called to having a family, and feels a stronger need to help people understand Catholicism more, like he has with me. I of course want him to have the time and space he needs to spend time with the Lord to find guidance for what he needs in life. Is there anything I can do to help him find certainty in his decision? Either way he decides, I want him to feel like he's made the right choice. He struggles to ask for what he wants. He has spent his life trying to help others and put everyone's desires and comfort above his. He deserves peace in his life path. And comfort/confidence with his decision.
