Hi everyone - so I met a girl and we've been dating for 5 months. The chemistry between us is incredible - physically and emotionally. As a girlfriend, she's everything I want. She's extremely loving, extremely caring, and has a nurturing and mature side that many women just don't have. I could see her being an amazing wife.

That being said, her family is crazy. When I mean that, like they use religious means to be extremely judgmental towards others and say things that don't even make sense. They are also extremely toxic and misunderstanding towards women. Funny enough, I am also very religious and conservative but I don't agree with almost anything that they say or do. Her own dad is also involved in this type of stuff, and to me I always wanted to have a loving and understanding FIL because I don't have a relationship with my own father. I always dreamt of having a rock-solid relationship with my father in law after marriage and being able to bond, but in this case I would totally not receive that, and would probably incur more issues than happiness.

My girlfriend is not like that at all. We are very religiously aligned, but given the fact that her family is so crazy I don't know if I can take the next step. Relationships with inlaws and family members are so important in marriage I feel like and I don't want to be uncomfortable around my wife's family.

I would hate to let such a good girl go, but if I do AITAH for doing so?
