I have had a similar relationship to yours. My ex-boyfriend was Christian and I'm a Muslim (I don't wear hijab though so it was easier to hide the fact that I'm not Christian infront of his parents). Our relationship was really good at the beginning but then his mom found out about us and she hated me. She was super racist, but he still chose me over his parents. Eventually, our relationship started to fall apart and we knew we had to break up because the religion thing started to really bother him he wondered what religion our kids would be and things like that. He also knew that eventually I was going to have to choose him over my dad because he would disown me and he didn't want me to that relationship so he broke up with me. If he had fought for our relationship instead choosing to give up I would have chosen him. But in the end it didn't work out. Just know that the differences you and your boyfriend have will affect your relationship with your parents and you might have to do some choosing. If you truly love each other, I definitely think you could last! I wish you all the best! <3
You can work it out if you have a plan as to how to raise future children
And if you accept that he's slept with many women and move on with it. It's a part of his past that can't change. Surely you're going to face obstacles due to the different religions and beliefs but if you don't let your beliefs get between you, it's gonna be fine. Also, I don't know about your families, but if they don't approve of this it's also gonna be one of the hardships you're gonna have to face
I am an atheist. An ex muslim by the way
it depends what is the religious background and nationality of your boyfriend.
If he is a westerner than he might be very laid back about all the matter. So things might work out better. But lets say he had the same personality as mine. I would never accept my children to be raised believing in god. Its just something i can't fathom, i can't feed them what i see as “lies”. So my future wife must accept that. I dont think if i married a muslim woman it will ever work for me. As i have been promiscuous and i don't tolerate religious rituals (just to let you know the latter is a very common symptoms among ex muslims)
The trouble is... if he didn't respect or value those other women, then what has changed such that he does respect you? It is possible, I've seen that and he may respect you if you are "pure". But he may not... there's no stability
I think it will be painful. What's important in a relationship to both? I find... getting along is #1, being able to talk openly and accepting each other. It really helps if you are in synch. The Bible says "equally yolked" I don't know what the Koran says and an athiest can think whatever...
I've seen Muslim man and Christian/athiest (not sure which she was at the time), didn't work due to spouse abuse.

I don't think I could ever make a relationship work with someone who's religious. You're issue with feeling sad just because he's had sex with other women before you is just one example of why I think it would be futile.
You are probably both good, decent people who only want the best for everyone, but you probably have many different, incompatible values.
It's you that need to work yourself out, because all the blockers are on your end. Can you keep your religion out of the relationship part of your lives? A atheist is unlikely to cause issues unless your trying to apply religious standards on him. Are you religious liberal enough for that?
nope. I tried this with someone for 5 years. relationship went to downhill after 4 years. in the 5th year, we quarrelled a lot about everything and he started to mock about my religion relationship. now I'm happy with someone who's Muslim too. and I finally understand why we need someone who has same lifestyle.
Depends I guess. The atheist community that I'm familiar with fits into two camps: some are anti-theist, the other are tolerant. If you both don't make religion more important than your daily life and your moral structures align well enough, you should be all good.
If you are a strong believer and strictly follow dogmas set by the islam it won't be that easy. I'm also atheist and for me its all superstition. If he respects it its ok. But there are some certain things where these religious dogmas will hurt your relationship, like food habits, sex, living together etc
Makes sense.
Males generally are more logical and women believe what the masses tell them.
I can't say I would be as respectful of your religion, it is the worst one.
But as long as you don't mention it, I don't see him having issues with it.
The only problem I see is the children, will they be religious or free to think for themselves?
I’m hermetic Thelema and my girlfriend is an anti theist. It can work if you allow it.
I don't know. Who knows I'd worry more about what your family thinks and your friends. Isn't he Kafir? Is it acceptable for you to be with him?
No, it's a lost cause. He's already slept around a ton. Just as a woman sleeping around loses her marital value, a man does as well. You should know this especially as a religious woman.
We all know that you will force him to become muslim with an ultimatum. That's what muslims do. And if he is a high value man with self-respect he'll dump you rather than convert to the religion of death, slavery and oppression.
I was in a relationship like that and he made me Atheist haha whatever it isn't a problem if you guys are happy together.
Mmh... how insistent are your parents that you end up with a Muslim man?
Yeah, if you let it, it can work, just focus on there here and now and enjoy it.
I’m atheist and my wife is catholic. Spices up the sex life.
I know Christians are to marry Christians, I figure Islamic marries Islamic.
Hope you two are good
Maybe, but it will take some work from you both.
Impossible. Nobody is capable of being an atheist.
That’s hard
