Similar situation

My story and situation is very common to yours and I appreciate your honesty. I too was taken by the charm of an Egyptian man, however the relationship is not long distance. He is everything I ever wanted in a man and I respect his religious beleifs and faith. I do have children however and need to be very careful. I am currently trying to distance myself from him and find it very hard. His love for me and my children seem real but I have to ask myself why does he want a non-muslim girl with children when he could probably find a nice single muslim girl? My little voice inside insists that I move away from this situation, no matter how great he is. Heart and logic never seem to go hand in hand.
