Ummmm, you haven't lived with him yet, right? I went back and read your post, but that has been several months now. I don't think you could call this a success story until he gets here and you get married, then let some time pass.

As for me, I know you will think I am crazy, readers, but I have decided to keep working on our marriage. There seems to be in many of these young Moroccan guys, some kind of anger ready to boil over. HOWEVER, I do have a friend who got married a little later than us. He is as calm as can be, loving, peaceful, so there are some. My guy, he's a 14 year old living in a 30 year old body. Some immaturity, some anger, etc. all mixed together. However, at least we can now talk and each say what we think.

However, he thinks it's ok to be angry and dump on me and his friends---"It's how I am and they know that I will get over being angry." Yeah, well let's see how long it takes to lose all your friends . Anyway, he seems to be the type who has to learn everything the hard way, so I am letting him make his own mistakes. It's hard to back off being the older one giving him advice as they see it as trying to be their mom. These guys have a hard time taking responsibility for their actions, but then again, so do young American men lots of times. Anyway, talk to you again soon. TC
