I’m 19M, my girlfriend is 17F. We’ve been dating for almost a year now. Her family has no idea though, because she refuses to tell them; and it honestly hurts. My family loves her. Her family’s Muslim and she says that’s the reason she can’t tell them yet, but she will… eventually. I get that they’re Muslim, but come on, we live in the West and it’s a free country. I’ve never pressured her about it but it still upsets me.
Nah dude. You gotta respect your girlfriends wishes on this. Maybe consider getting a place when she’s 18 so she can get away? Will she be moving for university?
If her plan is to keep living with her family and never revealing you, there’s no outcome to that path. But if she is looking to move or study or whatever, you might see a future for the relationship.
Talk to her about the future and where this is going.
