The chances are, if you see no wrong personally with what you are doing then your family have failed to bring you up as a good Muslim, and therefore cannot really complain about what yor choice. You have been living with a man to whom you are not married (regardless of religion), and that in Islam ranks as a major sin, yet you are more concerned about your parents reaction than where you situation puts you in terms of your relationship to God. Then you plan to marry a Christian man, again something not allowed in islam. I do not get the sense that you feel religiously conflicted, yet you still say you are Muslim. All these things tell me that your parents have not bothered to educate you in Islamic moral values, and maybe it's because they were lazy, or didn't particularly care about them themselves. If they feel agrieved at what you seem intent on doing, they to take much of the blame.

Although painful, it will be a case of deciding to stay with your family or go ahead with the wedding. Do you think your boyfriend can convert as this could solve the problem.
