I am going crazy trying to figure this out please help me understand.

You are a moroccan .you know what is and is not. i am in a realtionship with a moroccan and i truly love him. we are compatible get on well with each other in every way ....i have met his parents he has met my mum and my kids love him ....we have been in a clandestine relationship for over a year now and nobody knows....except his brother and cousins and close friends....

we want to marry but ...he wont ask this parents consent....he said that they want him to marry his cousin ..etc etc ...he wants to marry without their permission .He is in his late twenties ..im 40....but we look good together .....im much younger looking than my age ......his family loves my kids too.

Im upset ....cos he said if he did tell them he would say that i'm only marrying him for contract and that later he will probably marry his cousin ......i'm gutted he even suggested this..................i am studying islam ...i take classes in arabic and study the qur'an ....What is going on Khalid .......should i end this relationship........is it in vain...............Thanks
