it's good u dropped the expectation for him to convert to christianity. it's unfortunate tat instead, he dropped his parent's condition on u. on top of it, saying he will leave the country, sounds like u r given the final choice to convert or break-up. if u convert, does it mean he will stay and not leave the country? the whole story not told.

for my case, she insisted that the 'hubby' must be stronger/deeper in christian faith than her. coming fr a non-christian bground, it's not like i can jst pick up the bible and change my faith. she's strong-will and faith combined whereas im stubborn and realistic. even if she accepted me as i am, the church would not recognise the sanctity of our marriage. she chosed the church of cos and (quote) im the devil and going to hell (unquote)

pls dun call her tat. the quote is not from her. if u know/read abt the bible - non-christians are labeled as devils.

she's my best fren and we're both still in good terms.

no.. but i can introduce u to the pastor, 10 minutes talk abt tat

anyway, to the TS - good luck. hope everything will go well on your end.
