Proceed With Caution

The best advice I can give you is to immediately purchase some books on Moroccan culture and the history of Islam. Also, read the Koran. You are becoming involved with a man from a culture and religion that are totally different. For example, a person of faith in the western world believes that honesty is a virtue but such is not the case in some religions.

When I became involved with a Moroccan, I bought and read every book I could find on the culture and on Islam. I learned quickly that what I consider to be "normal" may not be "normal" in another culture and religion. If you are expecting flowers and candlelight dinners, look elsewhere. Just remember not to expect too much and you won't be disappointed. I wish you well.

My relationship of two years just ended and I am one happy woman.
