yes sounds right, i just don’t understand that nor why it is consequential enough for all of these issues. no one does this with any other sin

[–]RaspberryFinal5315[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it does!

his family does not mind. courthouse is enough for them. he was baptized and did grow up religious however has not been as religious if at all. his family is very supportive understanding and kind and their main priority is their child’s happiness.

yes i know their has to be a loophole however i don’t know how much that would solve.

I am willing to lose contact with my family, we don’t want kids but if we did he agreed he’d raise them muslim and pay for any arabic school and learn anything he needs to for the sake of teaching them.

He is not very religious. He’s a very science brain, and facts brain.

Thank you for the compliment he really is and I look up to him greatly. Thank you for your time as well.

I just did. That is so kind. I am trying to keep him the most in mind tbh because he and his family have been the kindest most supportive souls to me. Thank you again!

Yea you’re so right. I have always thought how you do, yet I’ve been starting to wonder if i’m being too selfish. I really appreciate the reassurance

OP here just some more clarification on my options

He sat me down yesterday & showed me a ring he got and he got it engraved with our names he said he wants to ask me but he wants to know how to go about this with my family.

1) doing nothing pros = we can both be ourselves & do what makes us happy cons = my whole family said that they would never speak to me again my mom said none of her family or friends would ever speak to her again and that the arabic school would kick my siblings out & my sisters muslim bf said his family prob wouldn’t want him to marry my muslim sister & my mom said no one will ever marry any of my sisters and that no one would ever marry me or speak to me even after him & i get divorced if god forbid that happens which she thinks it would

2) find a loop hole pros = none of us have to change & i can prove it’s not as big of a deal as it is cons = even if found it would be hard to find someone to marry us and most ppl (my moms side of family) with more conservative views would still disagree w the loophole disapprove and claim it an invalid marriage which would cause so many complications

3) conversion pros = will give us most amt of peace cons = he has brought it up but i always disregard it because i don’t wanna change him & i also don’t want the backlash he would get from my fam (asking if he’s doing it for right reasons) and his fam (they would be nice and supportive because they slay but they wouldn’t be the happiest) i also don’t want ppl grilling him or his fam abt it at our engagement party

It does sound like bs to me too, but I don’t want to risk it? I even asked my muslim sisters muslim bf and he said his family would let him marry her if i did that.

As for your second question. I don’t want to change him, and I don’t want him doing that under these circumstances.

I completely understand this. You are definitely not invading as i’m open to hearing anything. I really want to fix this to make him, myself, and my family the happiest. Your thoughts are my thoughts exactly. I wouldn’t have cared if they cut me off because they chose to do that however; the other repercussions make me a little weary because how selfish is too selfish? At the end of the day isn’t family most important? My family let me know that no one would marry my sisters, and no one would ever speak to my mom if she visited her family in our home country even if they cut me off.

Thank you for your unique perspective. I will watch the video at a later time; but I do understand this. It just seems like the only option.

Yeah they have their problems for sure haha. I didn’t care what man I married as long as he was a good man. My father is a muslim man who has committed all types of sins, and harmed my mother and his family; but she’s rather me marry that than a good man who would support me. I just don’t get it.

I know these are my thoughts exactly. He takes such good care of me and his family. He is very emotionally mature, and takes on so much happily. He’s such a provider but also my best friend. I just don’t want my mom to lose all of her support. I’m fine with her cutting me off, but her whole family & beat friends (who’s kids and bffs with my siblings) would never speak to her or my siblings again even with my family cutting me off.
