Friend is away for a couple of days for a stag do. He doesn't normally drink so guessing not much would render him quite drunk. Last night I received a text at 1am but didn't see it till this morning. It was written terribly with a lot of typos and repeated letters in words so took me a few moments to understand what it said. The coherent version...without some random stuff at the beginning..

"Juyetii, poppy. I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Its so fucking beautiful. So so beautiful. Is it too late to tell you how I feel. You're the one. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just wasting time. I know it might be complicated but it doesn't matter. it will be okay. I'm too fucking scared to tell you. I wish you feel the same.

I haven't received anything from him yet nor have I replied. I don't know what to make it of it really. Im pretty sure he was drunk when he sent it. Does he actually mean it if he was drunk? Do I bring it up / ignore it?! I've been thinking about it all day!

thank you for your lovely messages. I am a bit religious but not overly so. It plays a big part of mine and my dcs' life but I wouldn't expect him to embrace it unless he wanted to. I'm not sure what the future will hold but for now we are going to enjoy it. We are friends first and foremost so nothing has really changed apart from I may snog him every now and again!

he's just sent me this. Of course, it's now my new favourite song on loop on my headphones! 😆

Aww GIF

Too cute 🥰

I get the complication. I’m with a white agnostic guy (Muslim Pakistan background) I have kids with him and honestly, alongside my children, he is simply the best thing that’s ever happened to me. my best friend, lover, light of my life. I really would be lost without him

I ermed and ahhhd for ages and even told him re family / faith complications. Bless him he said he’d come over for dinner and win them over 😂😂

needless to say, we got together

Letterposter · 28/07/2023 21:07

How supportive would your family be?

ASoapImpressionOfHisWifeWhichHeAte · 28/07/2023 21:08

Placemaking for the wedding.

Magnoliainbloom · 28/07/2023 21:13

Similar background, and I made the mistake of letting someone go years ago because he was white and not of my faith. Married someone from my background, and it was an utter disaster. Still in touch with the other person, but we won’t get together as our circumstances won’t align. I wish you all the very best - you both sound fabulous!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2023 21:24

It only has to be a complication if uou make it one

dontletsaskforthemoon · 28/07/2023 21:48

Heart warming @Letterposter

OP, so excited for you! 👏💞

Letterposter · 28/07/2023 21:52

Thank you! I’ve always thought I am/ was punching above my weight and soon after getting together found out he felt the same!

so i get where you’re coming from op.

This is the cutest thread I've ever read

Twinsmummy1812 · 28/07/2023 22:42

This has put a huge smile on my face! I hope it all works out for you x

Theyshallnotgrowold · 28/07/2023 22:43

Apologies if it's been said already, but as the saying goes, a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts. Good luck x

Sugarfree23 · 28/07/2023 22:45

Agnostic, so believes in the creator God, but not sure what other bits are the right bits.

Op I get it will be complicated but I think it could be worked through.

Are you including this one in your sometimes

Maxstress3 · 28/07/2023 23:10

Just been reading the whole thread. You deserve a happy life but if you are practising muslim it will be a challenge for you so you need to have this conversation with him on how you move forward. But good luck whichever way your life takes you.

MouseMinge · 28/07/2023 23:19

Been reading all OP's posts hoping to find out if she liked him like he liked her and if, if, if ... how utterly lovely! This thread has given me a big smile to take to bed with me.

Hankunamatata · 28/07/2023 23:24

It can work op. I have a friend who is Muslim and her husband is non religious and not from Muslim background. They get on well. She does her thing and is big part of her mosque. He comes to some family things at the mosque as they are very welcoming. Really doesn't cause them any problems that they havnt talked out. Kids are being raised as Muslims.

That's not what agnostic means
