Today, I decorated my boyfriend's house for Christmas as a surprise, just in time for him and his family to come home. Also just in time for him to tell me he's Jewish. FML

If she didn't already know her boyfriend was jewish, I feel it was too early in the relationship to do anything to his house as a surprise.

I find it creepy that you broke into his house.

So you've been together long enough for him to trust you alone in his house, but you didn't know his religion? Something's not adding up here...seems weird to me.

You're asking the wrong questions on a first date; although if religion really means that much to you I would be glad you asked me... so I know there won't be a second.

Well, lights and a tree are pretty harmless. As long as you didn't put out a Nativity scene!

YDI. How could you not know this type of thing?

If it's been long enough in the relationship for you to be able to freely go into his house, you should have known by now he was Jewish.

Good job just assuming everyone is Christian. You deserved it - get your head out of the sand, other religions exist and should be respected.

I think if you haven't been dating long enough or seriously enough to know that he's Jewish, it's safe to say you shouldn't be sneaking around his house decorating....just a thought.

If he and his family were religious, OP would not be his g/f in the first place - a religious Jew may not touch a woman unless she is his wife. If they are not religious, Christmas decorations should not be a big deal. So what's the problem?

It's entirely possible to be religiously Jewish without being ultra-orthodox or essentially monastic; what you're saying is sort of like insisting that if a Christian so much as kisses someone before marriage then they're clearly not religious and shouldn't be decorating for Christmas. (And, incidentally, plenty of people of any faith -- including Christians! -- aren't gung-ho about Christmas decorations.)
