Hi,

Please do not change your religion for your boyfriend. What he is saying about you changing your religion b 4 you get married is crap. I married a muslim man and i didnt change my religion for him. Mind you ,i am divorced now a month after he got his VISA.

I am not saying he tried, believe me he tried, but it didnt work. You have to be strong. turn the tables and say to him to change and see what he says.

it does not matter whether you change or not, he is going to treat you the same way. Muslim people are not surposed to ask their wife to change their religion. I konw of many woman here in Galway, Ireland that changed their religion and they were treated a lot different than me. They were not allowed to ask their husbands where they were going and they see their wife were to stay at home and clean the house and mind the children.

He knew when he met you that you were a different religion then he was why ask now. Do not believe him saying becasue you're getting married.

If a muslim man gets married again he has to give his first wife the same thing as he gives the second wife. Do not go down that road. if he wants another wife, let him, but be sure that you go for a separation at the same time and also he will be up for bigime.

Please do not change.

Take Care, Tara
