Get out now Michelle!

Your Moroccan man's MO sounds scarily similar to so many I've read. And having just broken up with one here in the US, I can say they are charmers who find out your weak spots and capitalize on them. He's patient and trying to build your trust. I would bet money he will leave you as soon as he gets that green card. Their culture is SOOOOO different; their religion IS their culture.

Take a chance if you want to, but I would not based on my recent experience. My Moroccan called me his wife too, and I thought we were going to be married. I am quite sure that he never intended that. He just dangled that carrot in front of me to keep me around so that he could exert more and more control over me. Good luck.
