Roz from Singapore writes: <\/em><\/p>\n

I am a Muslim in love with a non-Muslim. In Islam, a non-Muslim needs to convert before they can marry a Muslim. My boyfriend does not want to convert<\/strong><\/a>, but I don’t want to let him go. I cannot imagine a future without him. We say we will enjoy the moment and see how far we can go, but as each day passes, we both want permanence. What do I do? Do we have a future together?<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Roz,<\/p>\n

Even though you and your boyfriend do appear to be very much in love, your relationship is surrounded by religious and cultural limitations.<\/p>\n

I don’t see your boyfriend coming to terms with converting. Even though he desperately loves you, this is a change that presents as a sacrifice he cannot or will not make. Likewise, I don’t see you turning away from your family, heritage, or faith in order to make a life with him. Your differences<\/strong><\/a> create huge limitations on the future that you can share, no matter how badly each of you wishes things could be different.<\/p>\n

I’m very sorry, but the day will come when the two of you decide to part ways<\/strong><\/a>, because it will become too painful to stay together.<\/p>\n

I really wish I had better news for you.<\/p>\n
