I explained to my SO that they were welcome to pray as that was their habit, but to not include me in it. I would find a convenient way to be away from the table and unavailable for that portion of the program. I thought this was a fair solution, but they always seemed terribly uncomfortable about it. Oh, well. It was the best I could do.

I've actually asked people if they wouldn't mind doing that in the closet as their "good book" tells them to do. If they question the validity of the claim, I show them the passage.

They've declined the closet every time though I still refused their prayer at my table.
