How do I show him it's not about giving up?

[beautyxo]

I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 years. He's Muslim and I'm not. He told me casually that his parents would be picking his wife "sooner or later" probably in a few years. Otherwise, he will have to find a Muslim girl on his own. I'm extremely angry he even pursued me. Before anyone asks, I knew that he was Muslim before dating him. But I was not aware of the marriage issue as I have Muslim friends who married Christian women. It was no problem. When I said we should end it, he became very angry. He said I was giving up, we could make it work, he wasn't leaving me. Why would he tell me those things when he's Muslim? It pisses me off. What is he doing? Is he considering working things out regardless? He said his family would never approve! He must think I'm a white floosy stupid enough to fall in love with him while he's just getting in what he can before he has to go marry his cousin. What do I say so that its not sounding like I'm giving up but being realistic about the situation? I want to make it work. He says he does. But he obviously can't be with me. I don't want to dump him and he just dates another non-Muslim girl. Please give me some insight on this issue especially if you're familiar with the culture/religion.

Pretend your not you and read what you wrote. Its pretty black and white if your not emotionally involved in the situation: He's talking out both sides of his mouth and you are swallowing every contradictory word.

 

You will not end up with him, so cut your loses now.

I agree but I also think you should tak to him and say this: Are you and I going to end in marriage? If he says no, then end it. He isn't worth your time and he also should have told you about the marrige thing before. Now, if he says yes, make explain how thats going to work. play the devil's advocate. After this conversation you will know what you need to do.
