I(18F) just started dating my muslim boyfriend (18M) need some advice
I got into my first “real” relationship with my muslim boyfriend about 2 months ago, i however am not muslim. When we first started hanging out i felt he was moving really fast like he would talk about marrying me and moving to the same state as me when i go off to college. This kind of made me feel uncomfortable cause im only in high school and want to live my life before “settling down” ig(plus i want to get an education). eventually his parents accidentally found out, obviously they were disappointed in is choices. His dad said he understands that his son wants a girlfriend, but that he needs to remember that he will end up marrying a muslim girl. His mom really didn’t want him to be with me unless i wanted to convert. I personally don’t think i want to convert, but told him Id think about it and look into the religion. From what i discovered i don’t really like the way women are treated, and don’t really want to end up in a situation where im unhappy. My boyfriend said that he doesn’t care that his parents disapprove because he’s still going to see me even if they don’t like it. We also do a lot of haram things like dating, kissing, holding hands, sometimes things get a little more intense than what i’d prefer. I thought that since ramadan was starting soon that he’d want to take a step back from being physical(which i wanted), and i even told him i wouldn’t do anything like holding hands or anything like that. I expected that we would also hang out less, but yesterday(the literal first day of ramadan) he wanted to hang out once his fast was over. So we went out to eat and he broke his fast with me, and went to go play tennis afterwards, but on the way there he started to try and hold my hand. I said no, but eventually gave in. I don’t understand why he did that, shouldn’t he want to respect his religion more. he said that after ramadan was over we would continue to do the same thing so why would it matter during ramadan, he’d be sinning either way. Then later that night he kissed me. I felt upset for him, i thought his religion was important for him, and i didn’t think he’d want to be so lustful. Now i’m nervous that, that’s all he wants, but i’m going to be honest i highly doubt it. He seems like he truly loves me, and has good intentions for our future, but idk if it’s going to be like how he intends(unless he convinces me to convert, but i highly doubt it, i think i might still look into it tho) sorry for the bad grammar and ranting about this, I don’t really have anyone to discuss this with?
