My Take

Submitted by unknown (United States), Jul 24, 2008 at 16:55

I read this board on a continuous basis, and after reading post after post, comment after comment, I have to put my opinion out there... I think everyone should be able to say their concerns here and hope for advice, not criticism. We are all here for obvious reasons, we are in love/relationships/married...etc. and we have concerns...bottom line. Or...we've been hurt and we're sharing our story. All of the reasons for being here are equally important in my opinion.

Hisham: I think you play an important role on this board. You are Muslim and woman want to hear your views. You have been hurt and in turn are trying to help other people not go through the same type of situation. Thank you so much.

Farrah: Yours is a very sad story. I know you were just looking for love like the rest of us. I think you saw the signs from the beginning but were hoping you were wrong, that everything would turn out for the best. I'm sorry it went in this direction and I hope you can find some resolution. I think your opinions and comments to yasemin are pretty harsh though. She has a very important story to tell, and everyone on this board needs to read it. She wasn't only hurt emotionally, she was also hurt financially. He pretty much took everything from her. Being in your situation, you should realize that. You should let up on your negativity to her....

luigi: I think you are genuinely trying to help people here. I'm sorry you were hurt also. Although I don't agree with everything you say, I agree with most of it.

yasemin: Keep posting, because someone is going to listen to you if they haven't already. You're bitter, people say?? You have every right to be!!!!! Keep helping here, it's so important. I read everything you write.

Susan: I hope you can continue to stay away from your ex...he is a user and will only keep hurting you. Join wafin, skype, or tagged, there are endless Moroccan men on those sites.

leesa: I hope you come to terms and figure out what you need to do in your relationship.

anon: You are a great help too, an important part of this board. People respect your opinions.

Isis: What the heck? You are soooo self-righteous, you know more than anyone out here. I can't figure out what you are doing on this board. You sure aren't helping anyone. If anything, you are causing damage. If your relationship is so perfect, why don't you go find a different board where you can relate more?? I have a feeling you'll be back in a year or less with a sad story to tell anyway......

Zella: You are probably the most intelligent and informed person on this board. Keep posting!!! I'm sure you have helped so many people already...

JoAnne: Rude...that's all I can even think of right now...

Those are the only people I can think of right now. What happened to Viking Woman? She was needed here also.

I hope everyone finds the answers here and finds what they're looking for.
