writes:I am 26 and I am in love with a Muslim guy(I am not). We were classmates in University and have been friends ever since. We are very serious about each other and plan to get married. However, his family is conservative and is dead against marrying outside their community. My boyfriend is trying to reason it out with them...but they just dont want to listen. And I am helpless...I love him...the thought of losing him terrorises me. But I cant do anything other than just wait for the verdict on my life by people who have never even met me. I am willing to convert and accept their way of life....but I dont know why would not they even give me a chance. Its eating me inside. Can anyone offer any advice???

 sweetheart i have a friend in a similar situuation what i have learnt outta that is..... marriage in your situation would mean a complete sacrifice and change from your end,because you havent been brought up in an envoirnment like his trust me it will be very difficult!!! the initial love phase makes one feel one can do anything to be with the one they love..... marriage is a real eye opener!!! when you have the family;s support its still ok to handle but in your case i would seriously say think about it.... you dint mention what does your family have to say in this??? hope you have discussed it with them.....Ask your self one question..... why should you give up everything yours including the religion you were born with .... your folks just for some one who you know for a couple of years!!!??? think about it!
