Monica, thanks for sharing...You seem very, very, strong in putting this experience in perspective. Remember, you also had the courage to take the "risk" on love...imagine if you didn't even TRY. I am so proud of you that you loved another if only for a short time...That you loved him enough to let him, & this situation go. That you helped someone get major dental work done.That you supported our troops AND that you have no "ill will" towards this young man. I'M glad you found this site to share your story...

I KNOW you must be an awesome person...but we are all here to share our experiences with these Muslim men. Just as I have said before...It is their CULTURE/TRADITION older women is not desireable to them. These men can have young, young girls. Younger man w/older woman is just for joke. You would NEVER be accepted by the "family". The young man in Islam can make many, many mistakes as long as he does not marry woman who has had a "loose life". After they are older they repent all that they have done in youth. Converting YOU washes away all of their past . And this is how they get away w/their behaviour.

All the best to you. Hugs from Farrah...
