Whoa do not do that! If you commit suicide you won't be with him anyway... move away with him... either your family grows to accept him or they don't but at least you'll be alive and happy. How will being dead make you any happier? Do you think he would want that? Talk to him... move a couple cities away, or even a couple states. You two will be happy together and no stress from your family. I live 2 hours away from my family and my boyfriend and I love it... we can see them when we want but are far enough away to be alone.

When religion is involved this is not an easy question to answer. Does your religion believe that you would/will together in an afterlife?
I don't see suicide to be an answer to anything. Both of your families would be devastated. Are you in a place where you can defy your families and be together despite their objections?
Sometimes you just have to start a "new life" somewhere else.

Never resolve to that! If you love him and he loves you, then you are perfect... tell your family that a religion shouldn't matter and that if they do not accept him for what he is then that is shallow. If they will not accept him, have dinner and get them to know him better, never resolve to suicide it isn't better for any of them! X

yogasaranya, have you read the responses you already received?
I am glad you haven't taken any irrevocably drastic measures. While I can comprehend the family and religious issues, I do not think that suicide is an appropriate way to deal with your problems. As long as you live there is always hope.
Have you explained to your family how strongly you feel about him? Is their only issue with him his religion? If he were not Christian would they think he is a good match for you? If not, what are their other objections?
I know you love him. However, love cannot be the only factor you look at when choosing a husband. Have you thought about what life would be like if you did marry him? How would you build a life together? Could you be understanding and tolerant of each other's Beliefs? If you have children, how would they be raised? These questions are only a few of the ones you need to discuss with your boyfriend to be certain that you have the same expectations for the future. If you don't and can't find acceptable compromises then your family and their objections don't matter-you shouldn't be together anyway.
If you can find compromises then you will have more information to use to counter your family's objections.
I hope all works out for the best.

How about just marry him, leave your family and have no contact with them at all in the future. Have your husband, be happy with him and move on in and with life.

You've been threatening suicide for well over a month. Why don't you focus on how to resolve the problem?
You have two choices - marry him and hope your family accepts your choice at some point in the future OR don't marry him and live your life without him.
In the meantime you've opened three threads and have listened to none of the advice.
