Hi Sandie,

What you want from this relationship is total respect! You should respect him as a Muslim coz he is a Muslim. And you should demand that he respects you as a Christian. If he or you can't respect each others religions then there is a big problem.

You can't continue the relationship until you get this straight with him. Do not let him or any other person sway you away from what you believe in. If you're worried about him being Muslim and what the public views are about Muslims please don't let that hinder your relationship. You love him for him not the religion. My husband is Muslim and i am not and we have no problem with him practicing islam and me just being spiritual we respect one another. I let him do his Muslim thing and he lets me do mine. My husband is a very open mined man and he's not a strict Muslim.

Good luck to you and i hope you can work out your differences.

Lisa
