Is my religion why he won't tell his parents about me?

I misspelled - should be ‘unequally yoked’ - 2nd Corinthians 6 : 14.

Okay enough bickering everyone. I Mama K, am Catholic and I was married and with my exhusband, a Muslim, for 13years. I can tell you people tried to stir me away from him in the beginning and I always wanted to find reasons to be with him. I defended him and his beliefs with tooth and nail. Now. After I see all I lived with him. I can tell you. If you are a devout Catholic, he wont understand and he wont be in church with you if he is deeply a Muslim. My ex said he was Muslim but a nonpracticing one. He never went to church when I felt it was very important. He didn’t understand baptizing my baby girl was so important. He always made me last on his list. This sounds like you are being put off from his parents knowing you? Why? He can’t stand up and tell them he loves you. Sometimes the parents of Muslim kids want to control who they marry. It is a custom in the middle-east that still exists. I had the experience of marriage to one who didn’t respect anything about me, my family and least my religion. I can’t tell you what to do but you will be a lonely Catholic or Christian whichever you want to call yourself because he doesn’t understand Jesus Christ and His legacy we want to follow. I don’t want to make Muslims all bad. When it comes to religion, the ideas they have are more deeply embedded in them. More than you want to believe right now. I think he is embarrassed to tell his parents about you. I would say he doesn’t love you the way he should. Good Luck. Don’t take my advice in a mean way. I just wanted you to learn my experience and several people I knew who married a different religion didn’t work out.

Love, Mama K

As a Catholic, do you trust in what Our Heavenly Father tells us is right or wrong?

If so, then you should read and thoroughly meditate ( as “amblessed” wrote) on what 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 says (condensed for space here): “Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? … What agreement does God’s temple have with idols? … Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves, and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take you in.”

1 Corinthians 7:39 says: “…Marry only in the Lord (in your own faith).”

In addition the Bible indicates that dating is only to be with one you are planning to marry, and speaks of young ones still being “in the bloom of youth” and therefore, too young to date or be thinking of marriage.

And one more thought - have you researched the Muslim faith and their (demeaning) view of women? Are you really aware of the future you would be having with this young man. BEWARE! Knowledge means everlasting life. (John 17:3)

I think that it shouldn’t matter what religion you r, but yo’re right about some people not accepting change… good luck :)

mzgigglesz —we talk bout it a lot and he said his just not ready to tell his parents.

amblesses—what does unequally yolked mean???

loverforever666—we are both 13 years old..

sarii12—ily2…

all—I know im too young to be in love but I just dont know??

P.S. god bless ull!!

That can be a reason.

Personally, I wouldn’t date outside my faith. Like you, I’m also Catholic. I’ve been dating a Jehovah’s Witness for about 2 years now and its a problem sometimes. He’s not an official JW, but thats a whole different story.

Anyways, I suggest you think this through. It can be a pretty big obstacle for both of you.

God bless

lovermeforever666—you make a lot of since!!

we usually talk when we switch classes and at lunch sometime I stay after school with him and other friends but he lives infront of the school sooo we have to go to a park…

loverforever666—the thing is his not even aloud to talk to grls!!! im also scared to go to his house!! =//

knowitall8—I hate it.

your never too younge to be in love but since you are so younge, don’t worry so much about wether he introduces you to his parents..try somtime to just stop by his house and ask him to go somewhere.

knowitall8 —yeah I think I should do that but his parents might not emd up likin me b/c im a different religion!!

=((

P.S. god bless you!.

go answer sarii12 question..

we are going trough the same thing!

Well if he really liked you like he says, then he wouldnt really care about what his parents would say. I think you should just talk to him about it and if that dont work then maybe he doesnt really love you like he says.

well, people these days. haha, I just don’t beleive in all this can’t talk to girls because it’s disrespectfull humble jumble..how do you talk to him during school? and I mean come on..if you don’t want your children talking to girls, then maybe you shouldn’t put them in a school with both sex’s in it..peer stupidity.

I was also dating a muslim and his parents separated us because I wasnt muslim, but he really says he loves you than he wouldnt be ashamed of telling his parents about you. Im having the same problem right now where my ex doesnt want to tell his parents that he wants to be with me and im a little confused if he really does love me!! Im pretty sure its because your catholic. Think it through I didnt and I was with him for three almost four years and its so hard to let go of him…

God bless you!

Yeah, probably.

amblessed—ooohhh ok.. well im I suppose to look that in the bibble???…

I mean I read the bibble but not a lot.

lovermeforever666—I met him at school..

his religiouse wont let him. its disrespectfull..

I love you drea do what is right

p.s. que dios te vendiga(god bless u)

si, que dios te vendiga..
