Black Men & the Muslim Religion
by Lisa
I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years. Five of those years he has been in prison with approximately 5 more to go. I made a commitment to him and have been by his side faithfully the entire time. I made this choice on my own and without any regrets. Now, after visiting him for our "7th year" together he tells me that he can't be with me, live with me, etc unless we are married. I fully understand that for we were planning on getting married when he did get out but his reasoning is that its because of his re-found Muslim religion. Neither of us wants a "Jail" wedding and I'm baptist and he refuses to get married in a church which is fine with me but he states we can be together immediately if we get married in a Mosque. Since I didn't fall for this idea, he ended the relationship and has told his family it's because I didn't want to get married. I have called his actions cowardly for he has cut all communication with me and has this old lady send me messages through email. I won't respond for I feel he owes me more than just a email. On the other hand, I'm wondering, should I just cut my loses. I feel I have nothing else to loose, I've already lost 5 years waiting.
