My advice is not to divorce your husband, and not to get married to a muslem man.

I am also married to a muslem, and yes, love is an important issue, we still love each other, but, i admit, love is not enough, and you will see this in time.

I don't know whether you are a catholic or not, how important religion is for you, faith, but you should know that there are semnificant diferences between these two religions, and to have a normal life, one of you two must make compromises, meaning, one of you will accept the conditions of the other one, and will make compromises all the life.

Never say " we can't live without each other". How do you know this?

Also, my husband promised me also that I can keep my faith, but the moment came when he asked me to convert, or we will divorce, and when my reply was " ok, we will divorce", he gave up, because he still loves me, and also because he could not imagine that beyween God and him I will chose God.

I was very dissapointed, because, we had an agreement, and then i realized that he promised everything at the beginning, but deep inside his plan was to convert me, sooner or later, and despite the fact that, since about 3 years, he never tried this again, i lost my trust in him, specially that, he had a time when he tried to provide me materials regarding islam, materials which i never requested.

So, I can say this: take this situation very serious, promises are just words. Rememeber that for muslems religion is everything, not to mentionm that, if you will have kids together, he will request them to be muslems, and would you agree such a thing? You will answer in front of GOD for this.

The complications are beyond your imagination, so my advice is not to do this step.
