Well first of all he is not a good muslim if he has a girlfriend. You are not supposed to have girlfriends when you are a muslim. Muslim men and women are not allowed to be alone together without marriage.

On another note. If you don't agree with him on his religion, then you most likely should not commit to a marriage. What will happen if you have children. You can't raise a muslim child when you don't even believe it yourself. As far as four wives. Muslim men can not marry more then one wife unless they can afford two wives. Meaning they both need their own homes and plus he needs to love them equally. No one can make you convert. This is something that needs to be done from the heart. You can not be made to wear hijab if that also is not in your heart.
