Dear Zane, I am writing you because I need some advice. I have been with my husband for 8 years and it has been a lot of work. We have overcome racial issues in our relationship, his family is not thrilled that Im black and hes Puerto Rican, weve overcome infidelity and we have overcome drug abuse on both of our parts. We have a five year old son together and have joint guardianship over my brother since my mother passed 4 years ago. It has been work. Two years ago he got caught up in a wrong place at the wrong time with his best friend and his friend signed a statement and my husband got sentenced to 5 years. We were even able to deal with that the best way we know how he comes home in 2016.. The issue I am having now is he decided to convert to the Muslim religion without consulting me. We have been born again Christians for the last 5 years since our son was born. I was a little shocked when he did that and it hurt me. I feel like we had values and he just decided to turn his back on these values without consulting me it bothers me a lot. The worse part is he plans on converting my son and that doesnt sit well with me. It actually infuriates me. My question is how do have a conversation with him without hurting both our feelings Love lost and confused Feel free to post on FB MY RESPONSE: You cannot overlook something this serious for several reasons. While I understand that the man is the leader of the home, right now he is not home and he will not be for about two more years. That is fine if he wants to convert behind prison walls but the two of you made a joint decision about Christianity and religion is not something you can turn on or off like a faucet. You need to keep raising your son ALONE like you are, as well as the other child, and make it clear that you are not cosigning on his decision to change the child. First of all, it is not as simple as telling your son, Oh now, you have to BELIEVE in something else. In this case, feelings need to be hurt. That is a part of marriage. Good luck.
