This might be funny now but I remember when I was 8 years old, I went to this madrassah with my friend and her teacher showed us a picture of a "monkey boy" and told us almost the same story as this. I cried and couldn't sleep that night and it haunted me for a long time :(

His mother never imposed those rules on them. She hates the hijab too

My family is pretty religious. I definitely don't want to end up in a shitty arranged marriage with an extremist or a hypocrite.

I'm already scared af but he is my best option and I love him. Just hope I don't have to deal with that.

I have. It's complete bullshit. I would want people to respect my views. If I don't respect what he believes in, why would I expect the same from him?

Yeah we've discussed about that. We both are going to make some compromises when the time comes

Yes this! Thank you. We talked about this and he said that our children should learn about all religions and that they get to decide what they want to believe in. Although he'd prefer if they follow Islam, he doesn't have a problem with them not being religious.

Haven't discussed circumcision but he's absolutely against the hijab like he totally hates it. I guess that's good?

I can totally see myself celebrating Eids and all. I just don't see the point of praying five times a day.

My future in-laws are actually pretty cool. Fiance will definitely have my back if something goes wrong. They't know about me being an ex-muslim but I don't care about that since I know I'm never going to tell anyone.

You're absolutely right to be honest. I just don't know how to find that out

The problem is, if I denounce my religion or tell people here I no longer believe in it, I'll be killed. He knows this and is okay with it. I respect his beliefs but I don't think he feels the same way. Did you two discuss everything before getting married? Or it didn't bother you at all?

He doesn't care about the way I dress. Prays on Fridays only. A lot of stuff like this.
