Have friends who is Chinese guy and Malay girl. Both renounced their citizenship after getting overseas passport. Happily married with no external forces in place. Strange, they are more free yet they have no divorce issues

I used to date a malay girl few years back(i'm cina), we were in our mid 20's that day, she's not the wearing tudung type. How close are we? We held hand while walking in park or shopping mall, she laid her head on my shoulder sometimes when watching movies in cinema, but we never had sex as I respect her as a muslim and she understand it. No we never kiss...

What I've learned from that relationship is that in order for us to get along, we have to put our differences behind or we both have to be mature/open minded to talk about it. The period we were dating, we rarely talk about our culture and religion. In fact we mostly talk about our job, people we've met, games we're playing, movies, music etc.

When we talk about sensitive stuff like religions, we both took this seriously and never talk bad about one and another. She told me that in islam, the husband role are very important as they will guide their family to heaven in after life. And I think because we both knew that we will never ended up getting married, she also don't want me to marry her because of love but also I have to be willingly to accept and became a muslim.

Fast forward few years, she got married and got 2 kids now. We still contact each other but not so frequent, just some birthday or raya or cny wishes. Bini orang tu, jangan la...

Some of you might ask is she pretty? Well she got a healthy and fit body back then, long hair and bright skin, face wise I'll say average like 3 from 5 scores, she definitely looks better without make ups well at least to me, her lips are my favorite and this might sounds crazy, she like my butt, yes she said that...
