ya i think so. religion is one of the biggest problem,he told me his god allah is the true god and cares about and love the people so much,then why does the true god cant allow our true love? I just beg a little mercy from allah~~

Breaking up with each other is the best choice.When u started to be together with him, u should  predict that u guys have no future. He is a muslim – a quite traditional religion, they are difficult to accept a girl from the different culture ,different background ,different religion…...) , which wont be changed in Islam.

Women are  so important in muslim family, frequently in muslim faimly, God is ranked first , Mother is ranked second ,then the father or others…..

P.S these are just my suggestion and opinion.

Flora I want to tell you that I live in very tradational community but not all people are same.  Islam enforce love and guide to it.  It is up to you i mean you can marry any one but she should be Muslim, Crestian or jewe.  Even in the Islamic world we have so many cultures same like crestian.

Blue-sky thank you for your point.

Also i hope that his family can accept me who has the different culture and life style,i hope his family is open enough to accept me,but there's also a big problem.The marriage in his country Yemen is never decieded by the partner themselves.It's decided by their parents. and their family is so religious.

I feel hopeless~~~i'm so sad.

Dear friend thank you for your point so much. I think i need to know it and i'd like to know more about our country.

Really your point make me know about the how important the wife and mother is.

I respect the arabian people very much though sometimes i cant quite understand some thoughts there because of the different culture,really i respect them so much.

Thank you so much!!!

melody, there must be solution of your problem. i'm really sad that u fell hopeless…=(   i think parents shouldn't decide children's destiny . It is stupid. Of course you must take into consideration their opinion, but it is your own way in life. His family must  back down and find a compromise if they wish happiness to u….=)

Hi,Melody

 I really feel sad to hear your story.

To you problem,it is really hard to find a perfect solution.

may I ask you,if your bf's parents accept u,when do you get marry?If the wedding day is far,I suggest you think of the romantic time with him more,after all the day is far,why do you care of it so much.

In China,these is a saying:the process is the most important.

i think if you have beautifull process,it is enough.

If you really want to stay with him,then try your best.Dont think of the result so much.

Good luck to you!
