Ans to Carmen

Hi Carmen

thank you for your comments. you sound like you know what you are doing too. Yes i have read a lot about the islamic culture and religious ways. I respect them fully, and if you are thinking of converting, make sure it is for you. My boyfriend and his family respect the religion, but do not attend the mosque or practice on a daily basis, rather like myself. I am a christian but i dont practice at the moment. I do not have any intentions of converting, and he and his family are fine with this.

I understand that when kids come along, this can cause some conflict, but if you and your partner and even your immediate family on both sides can all talk and decide what's better for the child.

I feel like yourself, if you are forward about learning all you need to know and be honest to yourself, then things can really work out.

hope you are still happy in your relationship, and decide what you going to do next.

take care

K.
