I often wonder why these men want to marry women from other countries. I wonder about the country they are trying to leave. What is going on to make them willing to be with women, that they really don't care for , to provide for their families. I really don't want to marry my Jordan friend, but I want to meet him and I know he is going to push the issue to marry.

He has never asked for money for anything, until now. I agree to go half with him to get him here, and thats it. If he can't accept that then we will not marry. I'm not going to let him use me and I told him that. He was married to his cousin and have children 3 and 6. He said they never bonded and that it was put together when they were born. He said reguardless of how the other turned out, he had to marry her. If she had ended up crippled, he still had to marry her. He married around the age of 30 and stayed with her for 7 years, but couldn't take it anymore.

After his mother and father death, he divorced her saying she was so cold and never wanted to have sex. It wasn't real love. He went to school in Russia and married there but divorced her because she didn't want to come to Jordan with him. He said the women that he was in love with was from other countries and was not arab. After his divorced his brother asked him all the time why was he not married again yet. They are constantly trying to push other cousins on him to married, but he said he doesn' want to marry them, he want me. He wants to live his life the way he wants to live it.

I wasn't looking for anyone on these online dating sites. I was just playing around and met him. We started chatting and calling each other and now I am going to meet him. I don't want to marry, but who knows.
