Search Results: telling someone they are cool

I'm seeing a guy... He looks White but he's got several ethnicities behind him lol and he's non-religious, but he believes in God.

I'm half Indian and half Pakistani, and I'm Muslim.

I've been seeing him for almost 3 months, and about 2 weeks ago I told him how it won't work out because my parents would never agree, (my parents are old, almost in their 60s) so I don't want to hurt them.

My mum has strictly told me that if I ever get with a guy that's not a Pakistani Muslim I will be disowned - he can be British, American, French, German etc but he has to be Pakistani.

(I know my dad is Indian, but she literally gives no fucks 😫 but I'm also saving that argument for when the right time comes i. e. when and IF I want to marry a non Pakistani Muslim)

Okay so after telling him, he was upset with me, he said he thinks he's found the one in me. So I suggested that either we stop seeing each other because we're going to end up hurt, or we stay the same and just deal with being hurt later. We chose the latter... he hopes overtime I change my mind.

And everything was cool and dandy, until like two days ago, I've really started to fall for him, I imagine a future with him but I'm scared of moving forward with it... I really don't want to hurt my parents and family. I've always known that I was never allowed to get into a relationship with someone non Muslim and Pakistani.

So this is my fault, I shouldn't have pursued something I know I shouldn't. What should I do?

Also the problem is only from my side, he's allowed to do whatever he wants... hell he's 6'4 he'd dig whoever defies him in the ground 😂 But he did also say that only thing his Mum would disapprove of is if I was a strict Muslim - which I'm not, I'm more of a modern liberal Muslim (don't know if that is a thing lol).
