We love each other but we can´t be together.
What can I do? Should I fight for it? should I try to forget?
I cant live without him, he cant live without me. We are in love for a 5 years now and I know that he is the one, the love of my life. BUT I am european. He is arab. We are cousins. We live 2 000 miles away from each other. I dont have any money because I still study. I´m 27. And on the top of that he is supposed to marry some other girl soon. Please, help or just say what you think. Thanks…S.

yes, but how?
I am sorry to hear that someone has the same trouble…so you are not going to fight for him?
if you both truly love eachother than it will work out, save up ask for favors and fly to see him make him love you
Fight for him??? But what will we do later? were to live? how to live?
no its not…incest is when you are brother and sister or with your own parrents…but it is not very usual either…at least not in europe…
Omg this sounds like a romance novella. Its heartbreaking! I am a hopeless romantic and I place so much importance in creating long lasting relationships. I believe love is a beautiful thing one should fight for no matter what! Fight for love, fight for your happiness.

correct. actually, it isnt illegal in europe either.
what could we possibly do to fight for them???
what would grab their hearts?
i guess we would have to tell the truth and just wait. but it has to happen, we will have to do something otherwise we will regret it.
grab his heart and sign it with your all the love you can give..aww…okay anyways its not my fight but if it was my fight I would do anything to get him.

how do we get rid of the “other girl”???
if i tell him that i want to be with him I know that he would do anything to be with me but I am afraid that i will destroy him finally…
Nothing just focus on the guy and show him how much you love him. I passed many chances to be in a relationship and I feel bad about that now.
He knows how much I love him but I dont want to screw his life =(

pray. pray really hard and make a plan. if God wants you both to be together, He will do it.
If you love him so much then do what is right.
i know the feeling, but when he walks off with that other one, you are going to be dead inside!
One question:
Why isn’t he fighting for you?
In order to be together one of us has to leave behind all life, family, friends, school, work, culture, language, beliefs…isn´t it too much to ask?

well in my case, he did fight for me. you know what i got?
i got told a bunch of lies about him, i got - dont talk to him, cut of his net connection, change his numbers and keep him the hell away from me.
but you can do something about it.
The way I see it is this.
If this is meant to be, there will be no holding EITHER of you back.
Have you actually discussed how you feel about each other? Properly?

He was…he wanted come to me immediately, left everything…but I am not sure if he can live here…it will be very hard for him…he would have me but leave everything else what he love

well, i know in my case, we do love each other. we discussed everything and made future plans.
his family is sick i think. just sick.
Forget about him. I know it is easier said than done. He has to marry someone else and you are too far away to know each other well.
Could you just give me a bigger picture of what the reality of your situation is please?
You are cousins.
So why exactly do you have to give up all your culture, background, beliefs, language??
We discussed it, we even planned our future but it so complicated that we got lost in it…we couldnt find solution to some problems at all…I even try to forget about him for while…but I could not…I think about him every day and it keeps destroying my normal life, my relationship with family and friends…so I have to do something…

It is really hard…I´ve tried. Maybe if i would know that he is happy with the other girl but he wont be…
nothing is impossible.
something must be done, but i dont know what to tell you, since i dont know myself!

I live in europe whole my life. My dad is arab, my mum is not. I am not a muslim and I dont speak arabic at all. He is arab, never saw europe.
If your Dad is arab and your mum not… there’s one relationship that worked out just fine already!
What languages do you speak at home?
Not that I’m nosey.. just want to know how you met?
That is kind of complicated because we speak czech at home because we live there but no one from family is czech =)
I went to see my family there and I saw him and just fell in love…

haha! mine is in the states! he tried to get my attention for about a year and when he found out i love him too, he was so nervous that he almost didnt make a move!!!
I just need to do something because I am hurting people around me and cant really live my life…and he cant too…
you need to go there. go before its too late!
Well.. if you are to be together, then the only solution is for him to want to come to you. It is the more logical.
Why?
Because clearly he and you are able to communicate ok enough to discuss things. He at least would have contact with your father and your father’s network of friends to speak some arabic, so needn’t give up his language completely.
However, I have to be brutally honest and tell you that I doubt he will. He will tell you how difficult it is, how this, how that… but the bottom line is that he is unlikely to see you as his one and only priority. If your knight in shining armour does not want to break down forests and castles to come and be with you… he is not the man for you.

awwwww. i really dont know what i can say. just know that i feel the pain that you are going through.
if that other girl gets to the states before me, i will be very very upset. the thing is i dont know how i am supposed to go there on my own. i wont have anywhre to stay this time, coz other people will want to know whats really going on and tell everyone.

Thanks for honesty, I really appreciate it…I need it that why I am here… I feel like I am not doing enough to make this happen…not because I dont love him enough but rather because I am scared …I want him to be happy and safe, have a wonderful life…..and with me? it will be full of hardships which I know very well because I am foreigner myself in this country…
