Shia sunni marriage
Guys I'm stuck in a pickle and I need your help. I liked this guy whom I actually never even met but have been online friends for a few years now.
I'm divorced and that time he was single. He lives with his mom and I was afraid to live with in-laws again post divorce since I wasn't healed yet so we went our seperate ways. We stopped taking but didn't remove each other from socials. In the mean time he married someone else. Now he reached out to me last year that he is getting divorced and just a few months ago it got finalized.
So he's the issue now- I genuinely wanted his marriage to work so all this time I had been reaching out to him to tell him that as a sister however over time I developed feels for him but she he was still legally married (seperated) I didn't say anything and just prayed to Allah that they get back together. However once he told me he is officially divorced I confessed that I started liking you more than I should.
Now issue is that he is shia and Im sunni. However through him I have learned who shias actually are and thats what drew me to him in the first place. I'm ready to convert.. but he has backed up now saying that through his mom he is taking to another girl and if things don't work out with her than he will come back to me.
What would you do in this situation? I really like him, never had any guy friends in my life but somehow got attached to him since we chatted daily (only about islam and his life problems). But I feel like he is only keeping me as an option. If I'm the one for him shouldn't it come easy.. do I stay as an option for him if things don't work out for the other girl? Not sure what exactly I should do and funny part is that I never even meet him in real lofe so it can all just be in my head.
