My boyfriend broke up with me d/t religion (he is muslim& I'm not) it came as a surprise for me, so I begged him to come back& I feel embarrassed now?

We were together for one year, initially when we met I wanted to strictly keep it at friendship but he kept pursuing me and finally I fell for him, at that time I did ask him about the difference in religion , which might become a problem in the future, to which he said "everything would be fine, don't worry", so we just kept it at that, recently around 2 months ago, he started to behave real weird and told me that I have to become Muslim if I see a future with him, to which I replied that I cannot change my religion, that was the first time he ever said something of that sort and when he heard my reply, he didn't really say anything else, anyway again one month ago he started to convince me to change my religion, and I didn't really agree to it so around 1 week ago , he told me that we can only remain "friends" the reason is because I'm not ready to change my religion and he cannot leave his religion "for anythingin this world". And he broke up with me. This whole thing came as a surprise to me because I didn't see it coming at all. Just like any person who gets dumped out of the blue, I literally kept texting him and asking him for the reasons and all, and he was nice enough to tell me that "we don't have a future together " , I guess there's nothing to look at in this mess anymore, I am just here to get some advice to move on and stop texting him and looking for closure. I feel so embarrassed that I kept texting him. 😕

I'm surprised you said you "didn't see it coming" when he asked you several times to become Muslim. In any case, it's very common for a religious person (guy or girl) to want their partner to be of the same religion, and convert if necessary.

No, you don't need to be ashamed of what you did, just don't write to him again. You don't have to change your religion for him, he should have accepted you the way you are, you don't have to change your religion for anyone, it's stupid for him to force you Also, Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women, I have seen this many times, it was stupid of him to force you, let him go, you deserve someone much better.
You don't need to change for anyone💗

Girl, muslim men do this a lot. Just let him go and next time think twice before dating someone from a different religion cuz it comes with consequences.

This is extremely common, muslim men want their wives to become muslim. If you are unwilling to convert they can place the religion above the relationship. So you have to make the same choice, your faith or him? If its your faith you two are not compatible. Do know that if you change faith and then change back thats seen as much worse in those community's as not converting to begin with.

That's what you get for slumming it with barbarian sand people.

You know that Muhammad was a pedophile rapist warlord right?
