I'm glad you shared your story, and this may sound trite, but everyone in life gets hurt. That's the way relationships are: high risk, high gain.

I sympathize with your situation, and I can understand why you just cannot pull the plug instantly. In my experiences, Char, women who are not interested in me have drug on the relationship for weeks, sometimes even months.

I think you are stronger than you give yourself credit for, though. For one thing, you see the situation for what it is, and in my view, that's half the battle.

I wish I were able to tell you that this will be easy. It won't. Breaking up with someone you really like is never easy. But, I really think what you have to ask yourself is is this worth it?

You mention that he does not give a response to you in religious discussions. It's probably because in the back of his mind, he will expect you to be a Muslim.

The idea that women in his culture are treated differently seems to be a concern to you as well. I would expect that if he treats you in this way, that will never change.
