Odds are against us?

Tweet

Hello friends! Before I started dating my current beau I found out that his mom was really cool about having his ex coming over to the house. Also at the time , his mom and I have been introduced and talked , even had dinner the three of us but just friends at the time plus I would come over and chill there after class. After we started dating, I realized we had been hanging out less and less at his house. Then one day, he told me it was because I have a different religion and his mom did not allow it, his whole family didnt. Because in the past, his uncle converted and it made a whole lot of drama then. He says his mom likes me a lot but told him not to date me. He even told me upfront that he will never convert because he is pretty devout. We have been in a serious relationship now for almost a year and his mom knows nothing. It does not seem like a big deal to me at the moment because I am still very young, but religion and mothers blessing pose a great deal of importance especially when next year both of us will be living in different continents. Have you ever been in a situation like this? How did it work out when the odds are against you?
