His family is Jewish, I'm not.?

Question

This guy I have recently started dating comes from England, and his family is Jewish. My family is very open-minded Christian. I'm worried that HIS family won't accept me because I'm not Jewish (I guess I'm basing this off of a stereotype because I haven't been around Jewish families?) have you ever been in a mixed-religion relationship? My boyfriend isn't a "strict" Jew, and I'm not a "strict" Christian... It's mostly his family I'm worried about... what has been your experience/relationships you've witnessed?

What if his family doesn't want us to get serious and pressures him to beak it off with me? Help.

Answer 1

ive been with a jew girl before her parents were pretty jewish but they did not care that i was dating there daughter and im catholic but not strict catholic and she wasnt strict jew!! religion shouldnt matter..

Answer 2

What all of the studies show is that intermarried couples have a much harder time of things than couples with one or no religion.  At least before things get too serious, have a **long** discussion about how any kids might be raised.  Again, all of the studies have shown that kids raised with "both" will end up with neither; and this is typically a very high stress point for the parents--think about how each of you would feel if the kids are raised with the other's religion.  How would *you* feel if Christmas, etc., is not allowed in your home?  Things like that.
