Tony: to Jew or Catholic be...

Tony from New York writes:

I think I am in over my head. I am deeply in love with a Jewish girl and she with me. We are soul mates and want to marry, but I am Catholic. Her parents forbid her to marry someone who is not Jewish, and while my parents can’t stop me it will break their hearts if their grandchildren are not raised Catholic, what should I do?

Sheepshag:

Ok, man, like you never want to break a heart, especially not your mother’s. But you only meet your soul mate once in a lifetime, dude, and if this girl is the real thing you have to go for it.
So here’s what you do. You and your girl convert and become Muslims. That will piss off both sets of parents equally, making them allies in a common cause, namely to bring you both back to your senses. If that doesn’t open the door to compromise, then suggest that you will raise your first child as a Buddhist and the second as a Hindu.
Life is about love, dude, and those who know true love understand that all of the great prophets taught us to love and respect each other. Humans aren’t shoes that should be sized and boxed according to where or how we were made.

Ask the Sheepshag Sharman a question, but remember, “If you can’t handle the answer, don’t ask the question.”
