Hi,

I am also a Mexican Catholic girl dating a Turkish muslim. We' ve been dating for 5 months and am so in love with him, however, he hasn't told his parents as they are very strict. We both live here in the States, however, he will go back to France where he currently lives in 2 years.

He says that he can not tell his family that we are dating because they will make him marry immediately. Is this true??? Although Turkish, he grew up in France. Not sure what to do. I want him to tell his parents but he says he can't yet.
