Hello,
I have a thing that has been on my mind for a while. Im a muslim boy, 17 years old. I live in the Netherlands, but i am from Turkey. I have a girlfriend here, she is African and she is christian.
So my parents always told me that schoollove is just temporary, and they want me to marry and girl from my own country, because they say thats better and so on. But it has been a year now with my girlfriend, and everything goes fine, but i cant love her 100 %, because i am scared that if we grow up, my parents want me to leave her because she is not from our country. I know that i shouldn't think about stuff like that, because im young, but still, it goes in my mind. I cant just let this girl go. I really feel for her.
I always told my parents that i wouldn't be something serieus between us, but it seems to get serieus...
Also, my girlfriend told me, that if we grow up, and we're still together, and she wants to be with me, she is willing to become muslim. I didnt tell my parents about this because i dont know how they will react. But thats a good thing from her right?
I wanna be able to love her 100 percently, but im just scared that if im gonna love her too much, and then that my parents will break my heart when i grow up, by letting me break up with her. I dont want to hurt my parents, by not listening to them, but i try to find a way to let my parents accept it. Should i just keep loving her, and see what will happen, or something else? I think it's nonsense to only marry a girl from my own country(turkey), but my parents want that.
Thanks in advance!
