Forget Him

Forget this man. I know that muslim men do have to go into the army at some point. My ex is from West Turkey, he is nearly finished his time of 2.5 years.

Maybe in Tunisia there culture is much stronger! but he says to you that he would have to marry a tunisian women, so he could return to his family if he stayed with you for awhile. i've heard o fthis so many times. He is using you for a meal ticket.

Its amazing how fast these men fall in love and want to marry you!! Its a way for most not all of them to have a better life. Fair play to them if women fall for it. From your story my advise would be to cut all ties with him. There are plently of other men out there just read those warning signs earlie. If his family were very open minded as i found with my ex its a lot easier to have a relationship. I wish u all the best K.
