Dating a muslim man

[Lozalot]

My partner is muslim. We have a wonderful relationship and I have never been happier with someone. By muslim that I mean he was raised by a muslim family, however he is not a practising muslim (out of his own choice he does not pray or even fast at ramadan). However he still believes. He has essentially told me that if we are to stay together and get married that I must covert. For me I feel this is very unfair as he does not even practise the religion. I am a strict athiest and to say I believe in any form of religion goes against my nature and principles. However we have a very happy and loving relationship so now I find myself in an awful position. Should I give him an ultimatum or is there a way we can make it work?

@FizzAfterSix Would you rather people ignored racist comments then?

@SimonJT
That's a bit much from someone who has had anti-Semitic posts removed. Pots and kettles come to mind.

Women have the right to share their experiences in a safe space without men accusing them of racism. This is misogyny at its worst.

It would appear I am not the only one who has noticed this judging by the Reddit threads about your previous posts.

It wasn’t actually anti-semetic, like many other posters I stated that all circumcision should be banned for under 18’s unless medically needed.

The poster was being racist and made a very racist comment, so much so that someone else has obviously reported the comment as it has been deleted. Anyone should feel comfortable speaking out against racism.

@SimonJT
You made an unpleasant comment about concentration camps which was deleted, I seem to remember.

Nobody is being racist on this thread. You may disagree with women's real life experiences but calling them `racist' inhibits women's confidence in sharing what are often difficult experiences. You are just trying to shut down rational debate.

OP, in my relationship I am kind of in the position of your partner. There were many expectations of me although my parents were lovely to my bf. When he became my DH, the pressure stepped up immensely to the point that DH has no contact with them and I'm extremely LC. Neither of us expected that it would turn out like this. Every family occasion is ruined eg since marriage my parents won't celebrate Christmas with us unless atheist DH converts to Christianity, wasn't a problem before. I stand up to my family but the tension and upset it causes is immense. My DH would have been better off with someone else. Don't put yourself in the position of my DH.

bunch of racists on this thread. pathetic
