Im with this muslim guy since 3years, i live and work in United Arab Emirates which is an islamic country, this man is a good man in a way or other, he's always been next to me in my most difficult times and when everyone else left me, i love him but its not that kind of love that i would die for, i respect him more than love because of what he did and stand next to me .

now he wants us to get married, but i dont feel it in my heart that he is the one i want to spent my whole life with, in the same time i want to settle down and have a family but im afraid to live a muslim life when he explains to me what i have to do after marriage and how i have to cover and do things for myself and live my life. Im afraid of muslim people specially men, i've heard a lot of stories about them but i always say not everyone is the same, but im also afraid i won't find a good man if i leave this one, nowadays good men are so hard to find.
