I just read that you are nonwhite married to an Algerian man. I am suppose to marry my Jordanian man in May. I too am nonwhite and often ask him why me, when I have seen a lot of those men go for white women with their hair dyed blonde. I am an attractive black woman and I am often approached by all types of men.

Even though I am 46 and he 38, I look very young for my age and I take care of myself, he on the other hand looks older for his age. I've never been the kind of woman to fall in love very easy, but he swept me off my feet with his charms, his words. He is very goodlooking also. I am still trying to figure out why me. I 'm not rich and I told him that I wasn't. I have a little job, my own home, and joint custody of my son, when I asked about having kids, he said he didn't want to with our age and that he needed to provide for the 2 he has. If it happens we will deal with it then, he said, but he wish it will not. Which its not, because my tubes are tied, I just wanted to see his reaction.
