salam. i have a bad experience to share. i am 40 years old now. never been married. i cry and cry. during my youth years. i was a very attractive slim moroccan woman. i was foolish believing a tunisian man the promise to marry me. to make the long story short. he was married to a american woman. he come to my country to visit with his best friend. we met and had a great time. this was 10 years ago! i was only 30 at the time. his best friend hooked us up together. never had he said he was married. well unfortunally we fell in love. came to find out my tunisian man was already married to an american woman 3 years prior to our first meeting. never once his friend or his family told me he was already married.

we called each other almost everyday by phone. we chat over the computer. i wait for this man for 10 years and he is still with his wife. i feel so sad. he never told me in the beginning he was married. he lied to me many of times. he told me he loves only me, we will marry. he must get his american citizenship to make a future for both us. well, he has had his american citizenship for 5 years. always there came excuses not right now. in november. novenber passes, then comes may, may passes then we will do in january. well january pass. i know i was being selfish knowing he had a wife. it is my fault being and remaining involved with a married man, i should have felt sorry for his wife. actually her husband cheated and lied. he lied to both us.

now i end all contacts with this man. i am trying to patch up where i left off. but now being 40 i doubt any man will marry me now. i wasted all 10 years for nothing. my advise. use your head not your heart. do not get involved with a married man. do not believe his sweet love words. he is not going to leave his wife if he been married pass 3 years. he lives in usa , already had his american citizenship within 3 years. he is not going to leave his american wife after being married 3 years. i should have known better. but for myself it is too late for marriage. i feel so angry, his best friend and he lies.
