This really is nothing new to me. I've seen women do this for other men, too. I guess it just makes people feel special, after all it's a lot easier to shout at someone on-line, or it helps them convince themselves that a lie of a relationship is real. I've even seen it before on here. Ladies defending their men and then one day: POOF! It all comes crashing down. I would know, because I've done the same, and the same has happened to me and at least one other person on here.

Christine, if you two have such a great relationship, why do you only come out now to defend it? Are you trying to convince yourself of something by talking to me? Give advice, you say? I'm sure it's appreciated, but it can be dangerous if you are blinded by love. Now, I haven't taken the time to read your other posts yet, but I really hope you're not on here with the mentality that YOUR relationship is real while everyone else's isn't.

What I find interesting is that even some women who are married come on here from time to time, and if there is one little ripple in the relationship, they are on here flabbergasted looking for answers and worried that it was all a scam. I'm sure that you'd be more happy to help, as would I, but I feel sympathy for them because a marriage is supposed to be about trust. I almost got caught up in that too, but luckily for me, I got out before marriage.

But I think it's pretty ridiculous if you feel you have to come on-line and defend your engagement for the sake of argument. What's interesting is I know of no couple who've met in real life who do that. Like I said, I did that with my woman, and yeah, it felt good, but the entire time I was defending a cheater and liar at the expense of innocent people who were only trying to help.

I'm sure your man does want to come to America. But it's becoming a common error ( and American arrogance) on here to assume that EVERYONE wants to come here. I know that Hispanics get blamed for this, but in truth from the working labor class to the ivy league graduate scholars, immigrants often would rather stay at home if the option is there.
