I appreciate your parents' enthusiasm, but something was off even before finding out he was muslim. Sex before marriage and living together? That's fornication.
I do not care if her parents are happy. They do not fit into the equation of their daughters undying love for her boyfriend. All that matters is her and her boyfriend love one another.
I love my parents and they'll always love me too, that's something that I don't think will ever change. It's my choice how much I talk to them and whether or not I listen to what they have to say. I've tried respecting my parents, but they've never made it easy for me.
Their reaction to my boyfriend is the result of a very, very difficult relationship I've had with them for several years. I don't pity myself, I know where I'm at and that right now, my boyfriend, whose religion I couldn't care less about, @jamieloves , is the one person whose support and love I can count on.
I told my parents already. I wanted to bring him along, but I live quite far away and knew that I'd have to quarantine for the first days of my stay, which would've meant that they couldn't have kicked him out. I didn't want to force my parents into meeting him either.
@JamieLoves What are you trying to convince me of here buddy? I already said all religions suck, they all do. “Now” christians are refusing to medicate their kids and let them die in agony, mothers are drowning their families because “god” told them to... Your religion is just as fucked up as any other religion. I’m not sure what you are trying to convince me of? That Christianity at this specific point in time is better than Islam? Ok fine , Islam is a 10/10 shit religion and Christianity is a 9.9/10 happy now?
@JamieLoves Hold up, I said it’s retarded and a shit religion, and to you that is me defending it? I guess you must be retarded too.
Luckily I grew up in a non religious household so I wasn’t brainwashed by my parents or church and when that is true it’s fairly obvious that all religions are fiction, it’s hard to break away from being brainwashed though so I understand your position too, however deluded you may be. As you’ve sinned about 30 times in the last 5 minutes but I bet you think you are a good Christian lmao
Thank you for adding this, I agree to some extent in that religions can definitely cause harm.
My religion had taken up a huge part of my life, but in Christianity, you should accept EVERYONE and seeing my own parents deny that right to my boyfriend, who I'm clearly very close to, made me think. I had started to question my faith before, mainly because things didn't add up anymore, but their racist remarks really triggered a chain reaction for me where everything fell apart.
None of this had to do with my muslim boyfriend, like I mentioned, we don't talk about religion and if he was a firm believer, I'd have noticed by now.
Jamie was suggesting that my boyfriend is a follower of an extreme group, which, according to my boyfriend, has nothing to do with the Quran anymore.
Also, can we just agree that the bible is super fucked up too? For example, consider Lot and his family's story. After God turned his wife into a pillar of salt, Lot and his sisters fled to the mountains. There, his daughters got him drunk and raped him, not once, but twice!
If you had read my post/replies, you'd know that no woman in my boyfriend's family wears a hijab, Jamie. I don't think you're aware of the differences between a hijab, niqab and burqa. I've never seen a woman wear a burqa or niqab in public in Germany. I don't know about the US, I just think it's interesting that you seem unaware of your cultural bias.

It does not matter whether your parents like your boyfriend or not. All that matters is that you two love another and are happy together.
I agree, it's just a lot harder without your parents' approval.
Unfortunately, they’ll never be happy. She’s a sweet girl and doesn’t understand muslums yet..

Entrepreneur?
Are you sure he is not dealing illegal narcotics?
I do not blame you
but do not date a muslim
IT WILL EVENTUALLY END UP IN FIGHTING
in telling you this from exp
if the person does not believe in CHRIST THEY ARE WRONG
if you become muslim you will be put inside the snake that circles the earth
that Jesus spoke about
Aounsa like someone got pumped and dumped by a Muslim lmfao
sounds*
you don't tell your parents
talk to your boyfriend and he talks with your parents is the best way
They will never accept a muslum
I told my parents already.
I wanted to bring him along, but I live quite far away and knew that I'd have to quarantine for the first days of my stay, which would've meant that they couldn't have kicked him out. I didn't want to force my parents into meeting him either.
I do understand your parents fears.
Me too! Just sad they didn't want to meet him.
Stay strong my friend. You will be ok. 😎
Religions suck and are stupid
And I am very sorry you are going through this. It's a shame it still stands in the way of love in the modern world.
