My bf, muslim problem,... no physical contact?

Question

Hi there.

My bf and I have different views about our religion even though we are both muslim. Well, he is going to start the fast in 24 hours, and that means we are going to stay away from each other physically and he wont eat or drink for hours and hours.

Well.

We are so different.

I dont even fast,..

how do I cope with it?

Answer 1

If you say you're a muslim why don't you fast i am muslim and i say if you want to call yourself one be one.... This shouldn't be a problem to you if you say you're a muslim so go by the rules if you say you're a muslim!!!!!

Answer 2

You should find someone that shares your beliefs.

And

He should find someone that shares his beliefs.

Answer 3

You either accept his personal beliefs or get a new boyfriend. I thought muslims were'nt supposed to mingle genders without supervision anyway.

Answer 4

If your Muslim, There shouldnt BE ANY physical contact. I dont know why you arent fasting, its obligatory upon yourself as well.

But its a good thing that you are not touching. You should NEVER do it until you get married. This is forbidden.

Im not judging, but it disgusts me, that those who hide behind the name of Islam and do things that are forbidden.

Answer 5

depending on how old u are i would really weight out the options because the reality of it is that u have diff view on it because u are diff.  if it's something u can both live with then cool otherwise go ur seperate ways....

Answer 6

Well, if you are not working. Try to read a good book. Focus on your interests and what moves you. For example, if you love music - indulge in music. Learn to sing a song or play an instrument. Write him a poem about the love you feel for him (I know it might sound corny), but before you know it, the fasting will be over. Every religion has its strange habits, believe me I am Catholic where almost everything will get you in h**l, and if you are not a religious person, but your partner is... then ask yourself if the time is really worth it to you. If not, then just be honest and break it off, because it's not good to be fake either. Hope this helps and good luck.

Answer 7

You can't keep your hands off of him for 24 hours? :S

You're too clingy.

Answer 8

I've lived with the hard core muslim in Iraq for years and the true muslim belief as far as religion goes is that when its time for a man to fast you back the h**l up and respect that or you lose that guy for total disrespect of his faith... now if your "hot to trot" in the panties area then you need to get that somewhere else otherwise wait on him

Answer 9

Don't!I will never date or marry a muslim.I'm not fasting for no 24 hours.

Answer 10

Starving yourself and no physical contact for 29 days.... the benefit of this to you and your god is what? Its things like this that make me think worshiping gods is primitive.

Answer 11

If there is a big enough difference between your beliefs that you're wondering if the relationship will work then more than likely it'd be best for you to part ways and date other people. But if you think the relationship can stand it then talk to him about it and just try to work out the differences together.
