how disappointing to hear...

Sorry, Life is beautiful, but you will not find me helping you justify what we both know is a foolish decision. a weak and scared decision. you are choosing 'better the devil you know' than the great scary unknown.

i have seen you give advice on this forum exactly the opposite of what you are now doing. I know that you know in your heart that it is the wrong decision and you are coming here for justifications.

You keep talking about how important it is for you to have children. If you care so much about your future children, how can you allow them to be born into the situation you are creating for them? With a muslim man whom you have doubts about, to raise them muslim and be isolated from your family. I think you are seriously deluding yourself about how things will be once you have your baby. SERIOUSLY.

If you have any strength or self respect and real love for your future child, you will go back to your plan as we discussed, go back to your family in Italy, find (quickly) a man who is suited to your lifestyle and culture and who you really are, and take it from there. much higher chance of success and safer environment for your child. Please do not be so selfish. having a child is not just something that is about YOU. what about the child, a distinct person who has to grow up with the decisions you have imposed upon him/her.

THINK ABOUT THIS!!!
