Interfaith relationships

Hi everyone, i made this post to talk about my situation at the moment with my partner.

I am muslim while he is a very practicing Christian and from what i know i can not marry a man outside of my religion. The thing is that in the Quran it does not specifically say that we women cant marry outside of our religion and we can be with the people from the book like jewish and christians.

Me and boyfriend are both still pretty young but we both are very inlove and really wanna fet married one day and have children. Im not very religious but my mother is and im scared hof how she would react to this especially that him and his family are very devout Christians.

Alot might say that i should break up but its very hard because like he respects my religion and its not like km religious anyways and i respect him aswell, i just sometimes feel like he hates the fact im not christian because he said himself he prefers a christian woman. But we really do love each other and just the thought of us breaking up really makes me cry so much and i know i wont find a man that loves me the way he does.
