To In Love W/Moroccan Man

There are thousands of Moroccan Men with the name of Abdel. "Abdel" is likely a shortened version of his name. He is probably talking with multiple women and falling in "love" with all of them.

Once you study the culture and religion, you will understand that "love" does not exist in Morocco. Moroccan women learn early in life that if they want "love", they should "love" their sons....and they do "love" their sons....read some books on the culture, honey. Knowledge is power. The man with whom you are talking will tell you he isn't like "other Moroccans"....it's a form of denial.

Maybe he's ok but tread lightly and keep your sense of self. My grandmother always gave sound advice and one thing I shall never forget is, "If a man can't take care of you....you don't have a man....you have a child in a man's body".
