Thankyou for satisfying my curiosity. My fiancee is Catholic, while I come from a secular background. Fortunately, her Catholicism is not rigid and neither she nor her family have raised any concerns about my beliefs. The fact that I love and respect her trumps all other concerns.

Assuming you are in a Middle Eastern environment, I can well imagine your scenario. I lived in Cairo for some time in the early 1990s...You are maybe Coptic or Maronite and she is Muslim would be my guess. Whatever the case may be, it's a tough situation for you to be in. And I'm sure everyone is telling you to save yourself from heartache and marry one of your own co-religionists. That alone would be enough to drive me a little nutty...What are you doing about your depression now? Are there good doctors in your area who can effectively diagnose and treat your condition?

Feel free to keep on posting here-or pm me. Sometimes just talking about things with a stranger can do wonders. I can honestly say that this site has surprised me with benefits I could never have imagined. Take care.
