Hi there i just want to say i dont feel so alone anymore knowing there are other women going through something similar.

Well, I met my boyfriend about seven months ago and we had a wonderful short relationship until I had to move back home hundreds of miles away. At first our relationship ended because of the distance but we could never forget each other and really move on. We got back together about a month and a half ago and our relationship has never been so strong we truly love each other. He came and visited me and talked about getting married. We agree it will be a challenge because we are both devout in our religions he is a muslim and I am a mormon , but we are willing to make it work, sometimes i feel as i am wrong. should i compromise my beliefs or follow my heart. Well not only that but i am 21 and he is 29, I will have opposition from my family because of his faith and the age difference but I have faith everything will work out.
