Hi,

Sorry about the issues that you are experiencing. I have begun to see a Muslim woman. She, like you, believes that there is a God and that it should be a personal experience.

We had a long talk recently, and have come to the conclusion that we are right for each other, and will not let rules written by people long ago get in the way of our happiness. I have dated women of the Christian faith who espoused beliefs only when convenient to them at that time.

As far as your boyfriends family, I wish you luck. Coming from a large Catholic family, I worried about them accepting my girl. But my family is very open and they are only concerned for our happiness. Small minded people can come from any faith.

Be good and trust your feelings.
