I have loved someone for about 3 years now and we were together for 2 1/2 of those years. But her religion has kept us apart because she is a Jehova's Witness. She dated me in secret away from her family for 2 1/2 years and the biggest reason were not together now is because of her religion. She still loves me but she would get disowned from her family if she wants to be with me because she's not allowed dating outside of her religion. Her and I are still friends, but I hide my feelings.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

What exactly is a jehovas witness? Well if you really love her then tell her how you feel. if her parents dont like you thats their problem and if they dont accept you for who they are then they do not want what is best for their daughter. If she is happy with you and loves you then isnt that all that matters?

Can't really explain what a jehovas witness is. But they don't celebrate anything. They don't even celebrate their own birthdays. She knows how I feel. Her parents don't even know about me. You would think that love is all. But she torn between her family and myself. Because her family is a big part of her life.

This is somewhat very similar to the condition i am facing now,the only difference being we belong to different castes.what we have decided is lets leave this whole thing to god to decide because there are certain things that prevent me or her from taking a decision.the first thing being her parents who are very orthodox and would never agree such a relationship.but i would never ask her to leave her parents and come with me because they have grown her up all these years if she comes out without their blessings,the whole essence of life goes in vain.i dont think there would be much problems in my home.you would be thinking how can this be a solution,but i really hope that they would agree to our relattionship one day.its this optimism that still makes us to continue our relationship.i would say if they dont,we will have to part for which i say i am ready,but i really dont know if i would be able to accept that.but i have trust in god and my llove and i hope he will take care of us.
