on your advice.

Lilly, get a grip and stop playing the victim.

If you are getting scammed, of course they are going to be nice to you. Why do you think care salesmen and real estate agents are so nice? Because you're more likely to buy!

You want to think that your relationship is special and different, but you're different from most of the other people on here who've been posting since 2006. I've seen this kind of thinking on other blogs too where women are just on here because they want to hear good things about their man's culture.

Somehow, I doubt he's on some Muslim board defending you. I wouldn't be surprised if he's laughing in his sleeve at you while you defend him!

It wouldn't be the first time.

I used to work for a salesman of 30 years who's sold everything from lingerie to timeshares.

His philosophy: A sale is just two sides. Either they're going to believe you and not sell, or you're going to believe them and buy something, or in the case of your man, get scammed.

Most of the posters aren't on here to tell you to go for it and aren't going to tell you want you want to hear.

You really were on here to hear positive stories only, and you're not the first. But like it's been said on here many times before: You don't find any because the are hardly any! Zero! Zip! Zilch!

See, Moroccan men aren't on here, because they don't have problems with Moroccan women!

As far as them not taking advantage of you, you haven't listened to what I have said on here: The real problems don't start until after you are married!

Oh, that's right, never mind my jaded advice, because, you know, I have to date a man to know what he's thinking, right? BEING one isn't enough. And it's because you want your Moroccan man glorified on here.

He must be extremely insecure, and I have no idea why you are with him, but maybe you are really desperate.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Quit it with the stupid white girl nonsense You're not going to sway opinions on here by bashing yourself or your race. I've been around too long to fall for that, and I would imagine Yasmine and Zella are too.

You said that you have answers for all of my points, but feeling bad about yourself in a false-choice kind of way is a classic admittance on blogs that you don't have anything else to say.

You've heard our advice, Lilly.

Take it or leave it.

Just don't expect us to gloss over how these relationships end up.
