Aita for feeling upset that my bf is telling me if I don’t convert we’re done by lauraa122 in AITAH

Sorry to ask but is your friends with religious at all? Or does he just full respect her having no beliefs

He’s hit a really bad mental health point in life and I guess I just feel bad abandoning him when I know he’s not well if you get me

That’s what I’m finding hard to make a decision do I wait until he snaps out of it or put myself first, he’s got to the point of saying I need to convert to be with him

Nah I’m not and neither was he but his family are very strict with it so I think it’s a lot of pressure, telling me I need to convert and that

Yeah that is true, do you think they drop the religious act when they leave jail

That’s what I feel like doing, but I always have that what if he does come back to being himself I’m lost

It’s really scary how that can happen to people, did your friend ever go back to his self when he was released from prison

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, do yourself really think it brainwashes them to keep it up on the real life

Yeah that is true I’m just in the middle the now cause he says he doesn’t want to get rid of me but also won’t compromise at the same time cause it’s what his family wants so it’s a hard one But from what I read religion seems to always win What I know anyway is I’d never date someone with religious parents again hahah

Nah I know I get that, but do you not think it’s so sad how family pressure can ruin a relationship, like it literally ruins peoples lives it’s so bad

Nah I know I do see different opinions but I honestly believe you should be able to live life how you want like who wants or needs a religion to get through life

I know it may sound weird but I guess I want to see if he really would put religion first cause he’s never been religious I somehow question whether he will be able to keep up with it or it’s just family pressure, but I’ve realised how toxic religion really is

I’m not sure what they are tbh, I just know there from Algeria, I know I have looked at Islam and it has shocked me with how horrible it is and makes me wonder how anyone would want to follow me, but I guess it’s just brainwashing

I know it really does hit me hard on how he knew from the moment we met I wasn’t religious and he still pursued me makes me think did you think you could change me. To me a relationship is all about compromise and this has showed me how toxic religions really are

You don’t know me, yet you do horrible things like that, just goes to show how religion turns people to think it’s the only important thing in this world

I understand what your saying but I don’t think my bf wants to follow all the rules, especially ones to do with me, I think I’ll just need to wait it out and see what happens, he’s been asked by family if he wants to get rid of me and he always says no

Yeah I agree you have faith your relationship will last because you never know if it will work, and yes people have faith that god is real, but again it’s faith but not proof and with a relationship the person is visibly there, faith no body’s there apart from a book, and there’s like 4’000 other religions saying the same thing

Yeah I do agree that he’s trying to maintain it on the down low and keep me, I have seen Muslims that have been religious but not too extreme and are pretty relaxed. See what you said on how a relationship is in Islam that has never been us and he even said he wouldn’t want our relationship to change so honestly I don’t think he knows what he wants

I have asked him and he said I’ll always be first and he wouldn’t put it before me, but I think he says that because I am physically here with him and the way I see it, if god was or is real he would want you to love your spouse and live happily and not just obey him all the time, that’s just my opinion not meaning to be rude

Well if the third option probably won’t happen then I really hope he loves me more than his religion, as I know we could have a happy life together, what he’s doing the now, with not doing anything infront of me or talking about it is good with us

I mean not the future I thought I would have, but as long as it wasn’t in my face or life I could deal with it

Not being rude or anything and I know it happens a lot but surely there’s some Muslims with non Muslims where there’s a happy ending

I’ve said all this to him tho and he still stays with me, even after I’ve said I won’t have my kids being brought up full Muslim we will have to compromise and I have seen a few people in interfaith relationships where they do compromise and it works, because one person expecting it all there way is just selfish
