<human>: Long story short, I still currently live with my parents and depend on them financially because I am still in college. I plan to graduate next spring and move out after that.

The problem is, my very Catholic, conservative parents do not approve of my potential boyfriend. He was raised Muslim (although he no longer practices) has a disability that has left him unable to work, and my parents have stated that they do not want us to date.

They have said that they will not attend my wedding, or even approve of this relationship in general if it goes further than just being friends. They are very strict Catholic and already have an issue with me not following on with the faith as they do. 

What I am afraid of is having to cut off contact completely with them, thus, losing my very close relationship with my parents, all because they do not approve of my boyfriend. This has been a very difficult decision for me because this guy and I connect both mentally and physically on a whole other level than past relationships. He is very sweet and caring and I don't want to give up the possibility of this being a good relationship all because he doesn't fit the mould of what my parents see as a suitable partner. 

I would not even begin the relationship until after I moved out because they are still helping me out financially. Am I making the right choice? Should I follow what my parents want but possibly lose out on a potentially great relationship? Anyone been in a similar situation and have any advice?
