Wow, I can't believe it….I read your email and felt your pain. I am going through the same something and it hurts sooo bad. I can't really write it out in details. Me and boyfriend have been together now for about 2 years. We had a discussing about this matter a few months ago and couldn't believe what he was telling me…. It hurts so bad knowing you're in love with this persons and this person is in love with you but their faith/religion is holding them back…how can I question a person on that…. It's like who am I to question your faith and your belief….. It hurts….

he told me he loves me very much, but we have not future together that he has to marry a Muslim Lebanese girl and there's not option in that… he has to do it for his family …..We are still together at this point…. He's not ready to get married yet, but his mother call him every other week with a different girl for him to marry and I know in my heart he will never consider me under an condition, even if I was to convert, his family will never accept me, but knowing all of this am still with him… I guess I love him to much to let him go, but I know when it's time for him to find a wife he'll let me go like that, but I still hold on…why…
