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.

hey this is going to be hard for you. you might be treated as an outcast of your family. from experience i know that they don't tend to be too happy with marriages outside the faith. you could tell them that you'll bring up your children muslim if you go ahead with the marriage. or maybe introduce him as a friend first? and then as a boyfriend once they get to like him. xx

This will be very difficult as it goes against your religon and assume that you will be cast out if the wedding goes ahead. 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.
