Forbidden Relationship - please give me some advice!

Me and my boyfriend of 12 months are very much in love. We have a great relationship and are very happy. We have recently moved in together and things are going great. We are from different religious communities, which is not a problem for me or my family; however, he is in a profession which would never be accecpted by my family or my community.

I have had to lie to my parents about what he works as so we can stay together, because if they ever found out I would risk losing their respect and love, and him.

I hate lying to them and the feeling of guilt is becoming a real burden....I am so confused as to what I can do. Can a 'forbidden' relationship like this really last, or am I risking too much? Please help!

Do you love this guy, and I mean do you REALLY love this guy? Because if you do, nothing and no-one should stand in your way of it. Just like age, religion, nationality - none of that should matter. Your family have accepted his different religion, maybe they should all grow up and accept his profession is different. This is your happiness not theirs. Family will always be there, no matter what
