Hi there - my girlfriend who I've been with for over 1.5 years now makes me so damn happy every time I see her and I know it sounds super cliche, but I honestly feel like she's the one I want to put a ring on when I'm older :). However, after 18 months she still hasn't told her parents us being together because I am a born Hindu of athiest beliefs while her family are faithful Muslims and there is an expected refusal and non-accordance of our relationship being condoned by her parents as a result. Her mum found out after there was a hickey on her one time after she came back from school but she has decided to forget about it as she is too ashamed to recollect the memory. Her mum is so disgusted that she's ashamed to even tell her own husband. So we are in this no man's land where we are supposed to not see each other anymore but we just can't help it because we are too in love.
I know it was a big mistake she didn't try to tell her parents in the first place and she shouldn't have stretched it on this far because something like this was inevitable, but we can't change the past so does anyone have any helpful recommendations about what we can do now?
Keep in mind we are in year 12 (or 12th grade) and we both are trying to get into medicine which requires crazy amount of study so it can't be anything that causes some serious distress in our lives that throws us off too much.
Thank you
