Hey all newbie here, been dating a girl for four months now, I'd say it's a healthy relationship, the best I've ever been in as things work well with a lot of chemistry and too much to get into but it's amazing, both love it here in the states, been through quite a lot as we were talking months before we've started dating and have had sex multiple times which were all great, but now that I want to marry her, I've come to realize it'll never work. I am half American half Lebanese, muslim while she is full American and Christian, now I personally dont mind as I don't practice, but it just won't work, both her parents aren't keen on me, at all and she's even lied to them about where I'm from and my religion so they're OK with it so I'm living a lie to them right now, we also have very different base values and morals, not that she doesn't have any, but she is a former life of party chick, used to go crazy in college but has toned down but still does on the occasion with her mates who to be honest are all mostly slooots who jump on any guy, I love her so much, and have never had anyone like her, she's truly the best I've ever had but I know there's no future, should I stay with her and maybe try make a marriage work somehow, as I am working full time having most completed my studies at university, even though itd probably cause a lot fo family friction, or end it as soon as possible? I want to love her and put it behind for now but I can't stop thinking about it every day, thanks!

I'm sorry to say this but many American parents will be hesitant to support you as a couple due to your half Lebanese and being raised Muslim. There is a lack of trust and innate fear in many parts of the country over this.

I would also say "many American parents" will not.

Just depends on the type of women with whom you associate. Not everyone is a bigot or raised by bigots.

If she's 25 and still lying to her parents, she has emotional development issues that will bleed over into other aspects of your life.

Move on.

This is where sex gets in the way of having a clear-headed view of the relationship. In effect, it's like a narcotic, where you're willing to put up with anything to get more. Your post can be paraphrased to read, "Look at all the misery I have to endure to get laid."

There. I just made your decision a good deal easier.
