Muslim boyfriend

[TaraJo]

lol we've been together almost 6 years now, I'm pretty sure he's not gonna go out and blow something out or behead someone.

For the most part, I don't mind his religion, I just find some things annoying. Like when I go shopping and have to check every label for ingredients and then if I get something wrong, he'll refuse to eat it. Small stuff that I've never really thought of before but now I always have to keep in mind, since we just moved in together 4 weeks ago. Other than that we're pretty much fine with each other.

There are fundamentalist assholes of every religious belief system. Not every Muslim wants to destroy Isreal just like not every Christian wants to bomb abortion clinics. I mean, hell, my boyfriend was Mormon when we started dating (he's since kinda converted, but I never really tried to convert him, if that makes any sense).

If you're happy and he isn't being a domineering jerk, go with it. Just make sure you have an out in case things do turn bad. That isn't just a good idea for dating a Muslim, but a general good idea any time you take a big step in the relationship, and, yes, moving in together does count as a big step. Without an out, you could both be stuck together, not because you want to be together, but because you don't have a back-up plan on where to live or a support system in place.
