'I'm confused...is it true, since we had sex..he will never marry me?'

I don't know specifically what islam says about premarital sex and it's after effect, but if he was a proper muslim then i doubt he would have done that in the first place. it shows either that he's a hypocrite or not very religious.

Having said that, a lot of muslim men do have sex before marriage and they have married the same partner they had sex with. It's sort of frowned upon and usually kept a secret from families and relatives or just never talked about. But let me just say it again. Islam expressly forbids sex outside marriage and if your getting into a serious relationship with this guy then u might really wanna test his character and morals. Does he cherry pick bits of his religion that he likes or does he actually follow it properly?
