Ok I recently broke it off with my man who is from Oman. I met him he lived in Amman Jordan and I live in the USA. We met over the internet. Yes I heard all the warnings and was not planning to fall in love with him. But he said all the right things and treated me so nicely that I couldnt help myself. I still love him deeply and it is only because I refuse to see him or let him know where I am that I dont go running back to his arms.

We had a 8 month internet relationship before I flew half way around the world to meet him. When we did see each other it only confirmed what we felt. You cant fake that kind of passion or the look his eyes have when he sees me. And his smile is for me. It lights up my heart. I love him still and always will.

The problem is he cant stop flirting with other girls on the internet. He talks to them so sweetly that they all fall in love with him. I began wondering if he could feel the same for them. And when there is doubt, there is trouble. So I left and while i occasionally send him an email or a comment on one of his sites, I will not talk to him.

As for you the problem is children. You want them and he will only give them to you if you promose to make them muslim. Dont do it. you are in your 30s and still young for children. I had mine at age 38 and did just fine. And I am in my 40s now and just found out I am pregnant again. So it is never too late.

My advice to you is go home. If he loves you he will follow. But it will be on your terms. You can tell him that you have no problem with muslin children as long as it is their choice. Tell him you will Introduce your children to all religions as I do (including muslim) and let them decide what makes sence to them. Since you will be on your home court he might compromise. Especially if he loves you so much. If not I say there are others out there and you have had enough of a rocky past with him to warrent being cautious.
