Hello ladies,

Men are men no matter where they are from. You have the good,the bad and ugly in every ethnic background. Men in the USA they will use a woman for money ,sex , room and board etc.... No different from a man from another country using you for a green card. There are some respectful and loving relationships from people from different backgrounds. You need to first trust your inner instincts it will always let you know if something is not right.

We as women have that 6 sense of knowing if something is good for us or not. As for me, I'm married to a wonderful Moroccan man who offered to pay for my air fare and when i got there i was greeted by him and his sister with a kiss on the left and right cheek, thats their custom, and there is nothing wrong with it.

My husband does not ask for me to wear a hijab or convert to islam. I don't cover my head around him nor his family. They all respect me and i respect them. Believe me before i married my husband i took him through the ringer wanted to know A B C and D. He is well respected in his community by all walks of life. Before we married he took me to 4 different cities in Morocco asking me which city I would like to make a home in coz i was always testing him...i told him that i would move to Morocco and he and his family told me WELCOME!!!

My husband owns his own home in Morocco and has his own business there too. He's had his visa for sometime now and he will come to the USA in april to see if he likes it and if he doesn't, we will go back to Morocco. We have been married for over a year now and not once has he disrespected me or changed while living in Morocco. He is the most loving and caring man .

Good luck to you all.
