Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost two years and I love him with all my heart. He is my first love and everything. And I know that he loves me so much too, and he always reminds me and treats me like a queen. But during the last year we have fought so much, and somehow when we end one fight the other comes along which is always about the same thing, the fact that he hasn't told his parents we are together. And I did understand in the beginning, because he comes from an Arabic muslim family and he is afraid to tell them. He is afraid of being forbid too see me, to be sent to their country by his family or simply being cut out of his family.
We have broken up over a dosen times because of this but we always find back to each other after only a few days because we can't be without each other, and it is not because were afraid of being alone or because its a habit, its because we love each other so much, I cant even describe how much I love him and he loves me. We had a future planned, he always said that he was waiting for the right time to tell his parents, he wants to be engaded to me and everyone says that they have never seen him so in love with anyone and that he is completely devoted to me (he is 24 i am 20, we met when I was 18 and he 22, so obviously he has been in love before). Friends of him and himself alwas tell me how I bring out the best in him and how he has become a better man because of me.
We also always fight about stupid stuff, I am extremely stubborn and I don't settle easily if there is something I dont like (people say its because im latina but who knows). It just hurts me how we always fight about something, its not always me, 50% of the time it is his fault and 50% of the time its my fault. we fight and fight, even if we are fighting he always calls me or text me that he loves me and that he is all mine forever before he goes to sleep.
What we have is real, it is so amazing in so many ways and my friends always get involved and says break up with him for good because so much fighting and "breaking up" is not healthy. But I just would so much rather fight about stupid things and still lay in his arms at the end of the day, than not fight and not have him at all.
I know that he will never leave me for good, and if I leave him he will always come the second I call and he will always look after me.
I know that I cant ask him to leave his family, he loves his family and he says that im family too, and I know he is protecting me from his parents prejudices.
I don't know what to do. If I should try to be without him or stay and we will figure it out like he says we always will.
Any advice?
