Backstory: My gf and her family moved to my country about 8 years ago... they come from a muslim country, they are muslim and very religious while my family is christian. We met 2 years ago and have been dating for 1.5 years
while she has met my parents and they absolutely love and adore her i still didnt meet her parents... this is because her family is very strict about her dating life and they do not approve of anyone that is not of their nationality and religion... whel i am neither
We kept our relationship a secret from everyone except my close family and some very good friends... as a result we can only hang out at my house, rarely go on dates (because i do not own a car) ...
the situation has gotten worse because i went to university and i am 60miles away (from sunday morning till Friday evening) as a result we can only see each other on saturdays for 3-4h maximum because she is not allowed to be outside after dark... she is scared that her parents will not accept me, and that things might escalate to a violent level (things have gone there before) if she does tell them about me... we are 100% sure they will make her break up with me if she does as they have done that before with her older siblings...we both agree that breaking up is not an option but we are not sure how to proceed foward because we really want more time together but we cannot even imagine our lives without each other... we both don’t care much about religion or cultural differences...do you have any advice? we are desperate!
;TL;DR; My girlfriend's parents will not accept me because of my nationality and religion... we dont know what to do
