Dear miriam,

i also met a man in egypt giza. at first everything was great ,we talk about meeting he applied for visa & was refused ,i was saving to go 2 him but i couldnt get money together next thing i no he end things and within wks he was engaged to a woman from palistine .hes 32 & she 20yrs.

he tells me he not loves her & loves me but cant be with me.when he said he cant get out of this marriage i joked you want to marry us both ?what u think he said? he told me ok if you agree i can have 4 wifes

i was gutted..he was living in egypt and studying when i new him .now he lives in jordan.egypt is a poor country wages are not good.one of my christian friends is private french teacher in egypt he earns $300 a month. many men are just looking for a way out of there .i speak to many muslims and most ask for marriage. am i so stunningly beautiful they cant resist me lol? no im a average looking woman with children but men as young as 19 have ask me for marriage. strange when im 39 .

u see these men wil marry for sake of moving its true i spoke to enough to no this .also if you marry a muslim from egypt they all assume they be able to get visa straight away .i no from speaking to ppl this is not true and can take up to 2 yrs in some case .what if in that time he marry another hes allowed to do that and how you feel then knowing ur husbands is making love to another wife while you wait for him?

these r thing u need to think about and may i ask what made you convert to islam and if u married a muslim and he takes a second wife imagine sleeping in bedroom while ur husband is in next room making love to another wife. do u all think about that ?like to hear your comment i personally couldn't bear that thoufght
