The similarity in the stories

I have finally walked away from the Moroccan man that caught my heart. I found it amazing at how similar the array of consequences in his life mirrored those described on this blog. The father demanding money, the mother's illness, losing the job etc.... I am sure that the conversation at the cafes amongst some of these men is exactly of what excuses work to get money from western women.

I got tired of being hurt, and quite honestly the memories these days are mostly of the painful moments, so I had to walk away. It is the hardest thing to do, but the man I desire will never love me and I lost his respect a long time ago.

Not all Moroccan men are bad, and some are not completely bad, but just stop accepting behavior that damages your spirit as this is very difficult to heal.

I have signed up to dating sites locally and find that given my recent experience I am more willing to meet people, and just give it a try. I have been hurt so much and I am now stronger for it. Out of adversity at times comes strength, in my case it did.

Please protect your self esteem and spirit. Focus on the bad things he does and his lies to gradually build distance.....

Best of luck
