Standing Up for my Faith: Confronting Religious Discrimination in a Relationship

My religious mother in law wanted me to convert to Christianity despite being Muslim if I want to marry her son. So I blasted her on social media. My mother in law never liked me since the day she met me and it was very clear that I am Muslim and true to my faith. My boyfriend at the time told her I was Muslim when I was coming to meet her the first time and she made a pork dish, then claimed she had no idea Muslims did not eat pork. This could have been excusable if the next time I came over she didn’t ask me not to wear my hijab over at her house because it disrespected Christ. I was taken aback and awkwardly laughed, thinking it was some sort of joke, but it was not. Coming over to her twice turned out to be enough for me and I talked to my boyfriend about it and he agreed I did not have to come over to hers ever again. His mother was of course offended and managed to guilt trip me with crocodile tears and fake promises. Despite my better judgement, I gave her another chance and this turned out to be my downfall. She was actually okay for about a full year. The most she ever did was make a joke or two about bombs. As a Muslim, I have become so accustomed to these jokes I sometimes laugh at them myself. I think my Future mother in law took this as a sign to push things further and on one occasion decided to sneak pork into a dish of mine. I noticed her doing this and confronted her about it and she was very stumped. I informed my boyfriend of this and we left the home. I then told him I wanted to go. No contact with her. I would not deny him permission to speak to his mom, but I wanted no part in it. He agreed and for the next year his mother did not seem to make an effort to reach out to me. Then my boyfriend proposed and things really went south.
