Recently reverted to Islam and I'm worried about my relationship

Default profile image
(for some context, I'm 16 and can't tell anyone i'm muslim. my boyfriend only knows as we've been dating for 2 years now <3) I recently just converted to Islam. My previous life as a Christian was empty and had no meaning. I feel so happy with my new found relationship with Allah alhamdulilah <3 BUT. I feel as if my boyfriend isn't supportive. I told him a few days ago, told him my story and he kinda was just shocked. He's been avoiding it, anytime i mention it, or say a dua, he gets visibly/audibly uncomfortable. We started dating in school, but I had to move due to my parent's divorce. So we've been ldr'ing it for about a year. We've barely had any issues, and when we have, they were over dumb teenage insecurities that were pretty quickly resolved. Now, I'm scared that this'll be the end of our relationships. I really do love him and I think he loves me back. He talks a lot about marriage though, which recently started to make me uncomfortable because marrying a man who isnt muslim would be a sin. I understand not all relationships are meant to be, but I really do want us to workout. I tell myself, that since I'm young, this is all just a phase and I'm not really muslim? I break my own heart when I tell myself that. Or maybe that I'll be able to help him revert and find his own relationship with Allah. But it doesn't seem likely... I talked to him about how I no longer want to talk about sex/nudes/drinking/vaping/etc... all that haram stuff (that i shouldnt be doing at my age anyways.) I want to focus on a more wholesome part of my life, my relationship with Allah, my family, and him. I don't want to risk my own salvation at the price of a boy, but this boy means a lot to me and I wouldn't want to lose either. In this situation, I'm not sure what to do. Would I break up with him? Hold off our relationship? Fix our values? I don't know.. Please help inshallah that either work out or don't. 🙏 (p.s. i have prayed to Allah to help me out too, but I think getting help online could really help too :') )
