Is it a red flag that my boyfriend hides me online and from his Muslim family?

[Mariakkk]

So we been dating for like 7 months now. It's going very well, I met some of his friends too, his colleagues know me too etc. Everything is fantastic. However my boyfriend doesn't post at all on his Instagram/social media, like.. crickets, not even 1 story or post he have nothing (not saying its bad by the way) and only uses instagram to watch reels/posts etc. I just want to know if that is a "red flag" as this is going pretty serious and i just dont want my man to seem or act "single" if it makes sense...

And also.. he says he is afraid for me to meet his family because they are Muslim and he is afraid they gonna judge me.. I also don't know what to say about that too.

Let me know ur thoughts! Thank you.

Technically you’re not allowed to date or have a romantic relationship before engagement/marriage, in Islam. So if there are no plans for a formal engagement and his family is religious then most likely he won’t introduce you to them as just a girlfriend, if he does this he will get in trouble and they probably won’t like you.

You have to ask yourselves what each of you wants for this relationship or if it’s strong enough to overcome these kind of obstacles, and whatever you decide make sure it’s in your own best interest and you feel comfortable with. Unfortunately there’s also a risk that he may not be taking you seriously at all or doesn’t see a future with you and is stringing you along, so you have to take that into consideration. But talk with him and whatever you guys decide then take it from there.

When someone is hiding a relationship, it can mean they are in another relationship. Hiding you from his family may mean that they have a say in who he marries and he knows they will not approve of you.

[slatyb]

yes. He will never marry you because you are not Muslim or are of a different ethnicity. Stop wasting your time.

Not posting you online isn't an issue. But he told you outright that he's afraid of showing you to his family.

He can't tell his family about you as you're the forbidden fruit. Get used to it or dump him.

[leviopperman]

why are you wasting what's left of your youth dating someone who won't introduce you to their family

Why is it all these non Muslims are with Muslims? Leave those people alone. Their ways are far too antiquated.

I think that @choco-latte can help you...

Red Flag, YES!

[fishbone77]

[MasterKS]

if you are not muslim than yes.
