jackobean50 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 My boyfriend and have been in a long distance relationship for 4 years now. We only live 2 hours from eachother but i live in canada and he's in the states and cannot cross the border right now (long story) so i always have to go down there. He never mentions marriage and when i bring it up (which is VVVVERRRY rarely) he gets all uncomfortable and says stuff like "you know i love you" "i'm just not ready yet" blah blah blah... What makes this even more complicated is that his family is muslim and I'm not. Now, he doesn't care about that but I know and he knows that if we ever did get married he would get a lot of **** from a lot of people in his family. I will never understand the culture or reasoning behind their exclusivity toward me and anyone who is not of their culture but that worries me a lot. I'm afraid when is comes down to it he's going to realize he cannot go against what his family wants. I've never met his mother, she doesn't speak english and i think she knows about me but i don't think she REALLY knows how serious we are. She lives in florida. Whenever I ask him about that, he always dodges the question and answers me but doesn't REALLY answer me you know? I have no doubt in my mind that he loves me more than anything and i know he would do anything for me. Just the other week we had a big heart to heart and he told me that I was his family. There's just so many issues that I don't know if I'm wasting my time!?! I don't want to end up being 30 years old and stuck in the same situation and no closer to what i want! But i love him so much it hurts! WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOO???? =p Link to post Share on other sites
