Hi Lilly - just positive thoughts for you

Submitted by Isis (Australia), Jun 21, 2008 at 06:49

I have been watching the responses to your initial post and have seen a real transformation in your thought processes with each response from a well meaning poster. You have gone from not being quite sure about this relationship to being absolutely convinced that what you are doing is the right thing.This has come about because each response has flailed you with negatives and in some cases remarks bordering on verbal abuse. To all the contributors out there this is not counselling. I can see that over the course of a week you have put up a defence mechanism - please take it down and go with what is right for you. If you say that your man has acted appropriately at all times and you have faith in him as a man then that is your call. No one has told me not to have a relationship with my Egyptian man - that is my choice and I am very comfortable with it.

Many people on this site are angry and hurt and obviously their responses reflect this. These hurt and angry people can't seem to handle people being happy and 99% of responsive posts end up containing dire warnings and grave predictions.

My advice is to go with your heart - you have convinced me that your head is ready.

Best wishes, Isis
