My wife is a devout Catholic. I told her several weeks ago that I was starting to meditate, though I did not tell her specifically tell her that I was following an Eastern religion that has elements of Christianity in it. I kept my practice private. Today, as I was watching a YouTube video on TV that that was based on this Eastern religion in our living room, she happened to walk in and see the presentation. She became rather upset. She became cold toward me. I do not expect her to change religions, but I would hope that she would at least become tolerant of my choice to practice the teachings of this Eastern religion. Do you have any advice for me? I do not wish for this situation to become worse.
Please be respectful and tolerant.
Thank you.
Seeking advice: my wife and I are of different religions.
