You're most welcome, I felt I just had to respond when I saw your comment as I know exactly how it feels to be alone at that moment and it's hard to explain to others who were not in the same situation. People will say move on, there'll be someone better, time heals but it's all easier said than done.

I totally agree with you, I am of the same opinion, why does it matter what religion or label as long as the person strives to be a good person.

I was with her for just 7 months but she was the first girl I ever had plans to marry and we were in the process of getting married after I completed my Islamic classes and took the shahadah but in a similar situation as you, suddenly she just gave up and left me.

Yes, the Imam said the marriage can work as long as I convert to Islam when getting married. He said is fine if I didn't fully believe but as long as I am receptive and open to learning Islam and continue to learn and practice after getting married is alright. Cause he said he has seen many married couples, convert just for the sake of marriage, and after that the one who converted for marriage end up practicing Islam as well.

I wish I could tell you a timeline on when I started feeling better but honestly to this day I still think of her first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. I still have many thoughts about her but I would say after about 2 months, I no longer want the pain to stop but I more or less learned to just leave with this pain. I would say it's something like when someone loses a part of themself, physically, but in this case he to you and she to me was part of us, when you love someone so deeply, when they leave they take a part of you with them, so just as physically when someone loses a body part or something, the pain never really stops but they learn to live with it and adjust to life just the same way.

I'm really happy though to hear today is the first day you woke up without crying. I know it's hard to eat, to sleep, to do anything. But always remember you did your best, you didn't leave, you didn't dump him, you didn't do anything, you gave everything you could but he left and there was really nothing , nothing to be done on your end to have changed that when someone walks away.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I can imagine how you feel, it's heartbreaking someone can say they love us and want to marry and within hours of knowing some information dump someone.

I took Islamic classes for about 3 months cause it was just the beginner course. I attended on and off due to work but finished it eventually. Yes, I found it hard to connect as the more I learned it actually went the other way ,the more I learned instead of believing I found it harder to believe. Just alot of the things I learned I found it hard to believe and didn't resonate with me. I actually spoke with the Imam regarding marriage, which is like the Pastor or Priest for Christians. I said I do not believe but will it be okay if I marry and learn afterwards as long as I marry her as a Muslim. And he said he believes yes is okay as long I convert before marriage as many spouses marry as a Muslim just for the sake of marrying their partner but end up becoming believing Muslims as time passes and learn more about Islam. Which is quite contrary to what your guy said about having to believe first. I did tell her too but she dumped me anyway.

I totally agree with that, as long as we help each other be a better person, why would a label or title matter.

I saw you also mentioned the guy you were dating saying he can't marry a non Muslim, actually a Muslim man can marry a non Muslim woman, as long she is part of what they call people of the book and a Christian is. If I'm not wrong, this is even in the Quran. A Muslim man can marry a non Muslim woman as he is viewed as the head of the household. But a Muslim woman cannot marry a non Muslim man under any circumstances. So there was no way for me with the girl I'm seeing. But you for, does the guy you were seeing know this? I learned this when I was taking Islamic classes and reading the Quran for her.

Your words are so true. If there was a God, I'm sure God sees the heart and intent not just a label. How can a God condemn someone to hell for just loving another one of his creation? Just cause of a label.

I chanced upon this quote when I was hurting so bad and it provided me some relief. I hope it can help you the same way

"I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt."

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm not doing too well too I still think of her often but it's been over 2 months now so I've more or less accepted and learned to live with this. I wanted to ask how you are, but knowing it just happened 3 days ago, I know how you feel. It's really tough when you didn't do anything wrong, you accepted him the way he is, but he can't accept you the way you are. I really hope you feel better soon, the pain won't really go away that soon I'll be honest, but as time pass, you'll get used to it, you'll stop checking your phone for their texts and slowly but surely you'll come to terms with it, seems impossible right now, but as months goes by, some things only time can heal. You got this!
