I consider it respectful and right, since that person is your love and your equal in the relationship, and when you have children together 50% of their bloodline comes from your partner. It's literally in their blood!

    Bosnian, do you remember asking me if I had anything against Bosnian girls, in the chat box? I told you I don't know anyone so I can't really judge. If I met a nice Bosnian Muslim (or non-Muslim) girl who loved and respected me, my culture and heritage, and who would never demand that I'd convert or change who I am, I wouldn't reject her love and affection.

    It's a matter of mutual respect. If I am to feel that a relationship is going anywhere, I have to respect the girl in question and she has to respect me. If she, on the other hand, makes many generalising statements about how terrible my culture is, that Norwegians are weak, that she doesn't like living here etc. and seems disrespectful, I would have to think long and hard about whether she truly will respect me and accept me as an equal in a relationship. Does that make sense?

    I'd try to convert that person. If she fails to convert I'd leave her. Also it depends what religion, if it's Abrahamic than I'll give her a chance but if it's atheist, pagan, or satanist I would never fall in love with that person in the first place, I'd get repelled by those characteristics. Buddhism and Hinduism are not mentioned because I don't mix my race.

    Already happens, me atheist, he christian pro forma. We don't have problems, as none of us is extremist in its own way ( I don't try to persuade him that God doesn't exist and he goes to the church only for weddings and funerals like me). I had problems with some schoolmates who tried to re-convert me to catholicism. So I think mutual respect is the first thing.

    The question is a bit stupid. It's like asking would you marry a person with an other political ideology?
