Left with two daughters and alone

Hi all,

I've read almost all the articles written about all kind of issues....I'm a 29 years moroccan woman who was married for six years to an american ( sorry i can't even spell his name ). I met my husband at work, we fell in love and a year later we got married.....after just a couple months of marriage things changed and he became weird....i tried to understand what was going on, he never let me closer....then he quit his job and i had to support him though for almost 16 months....i thought he was just stressd out and tired of ....but unfortunately he was cheating on me, some friends started calling me on the phone and telling me what he was all about....i didn't believe none of that and i believed in him and believed in our marriage, i was pregnant that time with my second daughter....

The fifth year of our marriage things got harder and harder and all i was thinking about is how the hell i'm gonna have back my husband, how the hell i'm gonna have a happy marriage, i tried to help him out with everything i can and with everything i had but he never tried a single thing to help himself out...

All i was thinking of is our two daughters, thinking of how they were so happy to see their dads coming home, some nights they stayed late and refused to sleep 'till they see dad....

I kept forgiving and forgiving all these years even though i knew he was cheating but i really don't know why he was cheating while he pressured me to marry him....he was all nice and sweet and kept telling those BS promises....i got stuck with that marriage for the sake of my daughters....

In early 2007 we decided to move to Morocco and i thought i would afford a good and less stressful life for both us....my parents bought him a car to welcome him, we had a good life for the first months, and our daughters started seeing their dads almost all day....i felt like i was rewared but deep down my man was a con.

He was secretly borrowing money from my parents and telling them he had money in the bank in the states....

Three months ago he sold the car my parents bought him, emptied my bank account, took about $ 16.000 and run with an asian woman out of Morocco....left me with two daughters and a big disappointement i live with on daily basis and " A STUPID BROKEN HEART "

It was very hard for me to write this of course but i had to share this with all of you....but my point is " am 'I gonna say beware of american man, ofcourse not.

I think people are the same everywhere, language and color make us different but mankind behavior is the same wherever you go. There is good and bad everywhere, that is not what gonna stop me from believing in another man.

Peace to all
