Do not change your religion!

hi June,

I married a muslim man but now we're separated. when i married him he said religion didint matter, but then about 2 yrs into it, he tried his best getting me to convert but it didnt work. I said to him that he is living in my country he should change, but he said no because he said islam was the best religion. i told him i could say that too. I also told him that i married for love and not religion and if he loved me that he should not ask me to convert.

I know a lot of women that changed their religion for their husbands before and after they got married and i saw the way their husbands treated them. The men are so used to treating muslim woman like crap they think we are all the same.

All i can say is, please dont change your religion unless YOU want to and if he says he wont marry you unless you do then walk away. it will be hard , but if he loves you he will be back. Stand up 4 yourself because you have to when you are dealing with muslim men.

Take Care
