It was very stressful to leave a marriage and I don't think there's any need to do it.

I don't feel like it's a necessary thing for me to do in my life.

I feel like I'm committed in the way that I'm committed and I know from the shifting sands of my faith how things can change, how people can change and how beliefs can change and life situations can change and I'm just not interested in...

signing any forms at this point in my life thanks very much so I was cross with her I was a little bit cross with mum because she was pushing about the getting married thing and so I sort of stormed down to dad's office and dad's always in his office and he's always got the classical music playing so he's listening to some Mozart or whatever and I

I said, Dad, I just want to come and tell you that I'm not going to be getting married again.

And I must have said it in a way that interrupted him from what he was doing because he turned off the CD player and he swivelled his desk chair around and he said...

what?

I said, I'm just letting you know in case you've got any ideas about me getting married again, in case you're of the opinion that I need to get married again, I'm not going to be doing that.

Mum seems to think I am and you need to talk to your wife about it because she's not listening to me.

and he said, why don't we have a cup of tea, dear?

And so we got up and went into the kitchen, and because I was feeling a little bit emboldened, I thought, look, now's the time.

I'm just going to tell him.

And, you know, he was busy making me the tea and asking about milk and sugar, and I said, Dad, I just have to tell you that... And I sort of started to get nervous then when it started to come out of my mouth.

I said, look, I'm just...

I'm not sure whether I want to be a Baha'i anymore.

I'm not sure whether I believe in everything that you believe.

anymore.

And I love you and I love the way you raised me, but I'm just not sure whether it's right for me.

And I don't know because I've always been raised in this way and I can't ever get perspective unless I come away from it.

And I'm sorry.
