I have a girl friend we have been together for three years and are in long distance relationship for four years and see each other three or two times a year. That is we have spent seven years together. The problem that we are facing as time goes by is that we are different in religion. I am a chritian and she is a Muslim. We have never recongnized our differences until recently. The question of getting married come and neither of us is willing to convert to the other. We love very much but we have to decide on this relationship because we don't have to spend another seven years like this. So even though we haven't succeeded in separating. I know that I should decide as soon as possible and I have been thinking of dating other girls.( Hope I am not cheating.)
Should I tell the girls that I am on the verge of breaking up with my girl friend or just be quiet?
Please tell me what to do. she was my first and I have no other experience.

Hard, there is a lot if history there. Religion is a tricky and delicate thing. Dont think its as simple as all this but if your thinking of dating other girls then maybe you should break up. If neither of you is willing to convert then where is there left to go?

religion is always a tough issue. and as a muslim women its even harder to handle eg. her family and all that. and u already thinking about dating other girls. so i suggest u explain to ur girlfriend dat ure not ready yet n need some time to think about this. quite honestly i think both of u are not really ready for this (marriage) as u didnt even give a try to find out about each other's religion (im so hoping dat u wud) coz it maybe a turning point in ur life. and if that never occurs to you then God must have a better plan for u. all the best

I think you should really think long and hard about what YOU want out of this relationship. How can you two come to a compromise when obviously your religous beliefs are the number one separating factor? If you want to work this situation out with your partner then you should talk about how you can make it work. Remeber, relationships come in all different shapes and no two are ever alike. It IS hardwork, but with perserverance I believe you with work out your happy medium. It is possible to have a diverse relationship - thats what makes them work!! Hope this helps

Just start "going out" have fun and don't jump into another serious relationship. Don't call it dating just yet. Test the waters. You may find that you are willing to compromise. (have a mixed religion family) That would not be cheating, and you don't have to bring up your soon to be ex.

am christian married to a muslim. as for now, we practice our religions freely. i know we'll have to strike a compromise when the kids come. but relationships are about compromise and if you really love each other, you'll work something out. as for me and my partner, we haven't even crossed "religous" paths becasue we have accepted to be different.

if you love each other enough the religion stuff will sort itself out but if not you should break up with her its better she knows than lives in uncertainty or finds out youve been dating behind her back

well neither of you has to convert, you can have a marriage ceremony that uses both of your religions.

Just be what you are. Changing religion is not worth it. Dont do it.
