He can marry you, if he says it is impossible he is lying. I have Brit friends who have been married to Qataris for 20+ years, and also have friends who have just married Qatari's. He can get permission to marry a girl who is not Qatari. As for religion change, it is also a cop out. 3 of my friends who have been married for 20+ years, only 1 has converted to Islam, and get this, one of the ladies now has a Qatari passport. He may be struggling with family isues but that is something totally different.

The general idea is that we western women are a load of fun, have had many "no strings attached" relationships and will sleep with our boyfriends out of marriage. Sad I know, but as one Qatari friend once told me in referring to his Scottish girlfriend of 5 years "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"
