hi, anita. i am almost in the same situation as you. i am also from europe, from a country very close to yours and i came to qatar following my love who is now my husband. i can say that his family is great and that they accepted me right away and they love me so much. but if ur boyfriend is original qatari then u might experience some problems, since they are usually not allowed to marry other nationalities. the only thing i can advise you is just to think twice. i can not tell you don't do it because i know how painful it would be to see your love just go away and maybe never see him. but you have to be very sure before you decide to follow him to his country, there are a lot of problems that you might face, it's a whole different culture and a whole different life style. Religion is not at all the issue. and also know that he might change a lot after he will return to his country, even if now he is a very open minded person. :) But if you really love him and after you think really well about it, you can give it a try. I guess better than living all your life in regret for pushing away the man that you loved. Good luck, dear, you will need it! All the best!
