You are a bright woman and you know exactly what you need to do. You don't have to change your phone number. Just tell him if he tries to contact you one more time, you are going to notify the authorities. Trust me, he will leave you alone.

These men are sociopaths and they are ruthless but they are scared to death of a strong woman. A "strong woman" to them is one that draws a line in the sand and says, "Now, step over it and suffer the consequences." He is not even nice to you when you chat. Using the language that you indicated in your blog clearly demonstrates that he is not from a good family. No decent man would ever use such language with a woman he claims to "love." Oh, yes, just in case you aren't familiar with Islam, the word "love" doesn't exist. Men marry women for one thing.....to procreate. This man wants you because you represent a ticket to the U.S. If other men have contacted you, there is something else that this man is doing and you definitely need to run.

Take care and you will do great. Remember that you come from a culture of strong people who have faith and determination. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
