I was in a relationship with a Jehova's Witness and she said that it's not right and the Bible says it. Is that true?

The Scriptures clearly instruct a true worshipper to marry only another true worshipper. That would also exclude dating.
(Exodus 23:32) You are not to conclude a [marriage or other] covenant with them or their gods.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with [unbelievers]. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
(1 Corinthians 7:39) She is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
(Nehemiah 13:25) You should not give your daughters to [the unbeliever's] sons, and you should not accept any of their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.
The Scriptures also warn against elevating human desires above godly teachings.
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-3) We request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason... Let no one seduce you in any manner
(Romans 16:17-18) Keep your eye on those who cause ... stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them. ...by smooth talk and complimentary speech they seduce the hearts of guileless ones.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

I am an atheist (strong atheist) married to a Born-Again Christian. For us, it works, as religion is not allowed at home (my rules!)
However, I would prefer that people of different races and cultures and beliefs should cast aside differences and enjoy their relationship - the same applies to humanity.
Bible? Ignore it.

No, its not wrong. Its just that people tend to go for a mate that is of the same religion because it creates less conflict. For instance, what to do on sunday morning....what religion to raise the children.....etc.

It's fine, all you need is a little respect. :)
