Hi everyone, I hope I don’t cry again while writing this. (To late) This forum has given me sound advice and the comfort I need this past year. I came out of a manipulative relationship and after a few months I found the love of my life! We entered in a relationship less than a week of talking to each other. We fell in love and everything was great for two months. I haven’t been this happy for so long. He is everything I didn’t know I needed. And now, if you’re from a Muslim community you understand when I say I don’t think I have a chance with him.

Some background, he’s divorced and his previous marriage was a love marriage and his family disagreed but went ahead because he wanted it. Fast forward he got divorced and met me and wanted to purse things with me. My family are on board but his family aren’t. His family had an intervention and basically said we going to find you someone to marry and you don’t have a choice to choose you’re own. He mentioned how unfair this is for him but after how his marriage ended, his family don’t trust his judgment and isn’t going to want to talk to me. There’s already an negative view for me without even knowing anything about me.

This all happened over last weekend and he hasn’t spoken to me after he told me what happened. From texting constantly to nothing I’m devastated. I cry constantly, I don’t leave my bedroom and I have no idea what to do. He isn’t talking to me because he doesn’t know what to say (I’m assuming) so I’m giving him space to think.

it’s been a few days now of not talking and it’s killing me. I think this silence speaks volumes and I’m praying for a better solution for me but honestly it doesn’t look like it. I really really want this to work, I love him so much and my heart hurts so bad. I hold hope but I think that will make it worse for me. Do you think I have a chance with his family? Will he talk to me again or is this it - he’s going to ghost me?
