I've been friends with this guy Brandon for two years. I honestly love him, I mean we haven't just been friends we've been going out and sometimes things stop us but this time nothing is getting in the way. My mom doesn't like him at all, she doesn't know that we ever dated. I love him and I know I'm too young (16) to be making the decision of who I want to be with for the rest of my life but I know I love him. Last night I told him that I can't be with him anymore because my parents don't want me to marry out of my religion (I'm a muslim and he's Christian.) He was crying and so was I. I want to be with him more then anything but my dad said if I marry him he's going to leave my mom and I love my mom and don't want her to be alone because I'm being a selfish snob. I don't know how I can make them understand that he means absoluely everything to me. Any suggestions on what I should do?
hey, well why do you HAVE to get married RIGHT NOW? you guys are only 16, why not wait until your 18? those two years might help you out in the long run, because than you can explain to your parents that you really love this guy and it would be a good time for them to try to learn to like him. explain to them that he isnt going anywhere for a long time (if you stay together for two years that will help back up what you said). if your rushing the marriage by getting married at 16 because your afraid that if you dont he will move on, thats unhealthy. dont tell your parents that your planning on getting married at 18 and your just waiting it out 2 years to make them like him.

(Rating: 3) i never said I was going to marry him now but the fact that my parents don't even accept him as my boyfriend or even a friend at times worries me and how they're going to accept him or me if he's my husband in the future
