Hello Hunny UK

Submitted by Donna (United States), Oct 29, 2008 at 16:13

Dear Hunny. I have been reading your posts and I think you are indeed a kind and generous person. Unfortunately it seems to be the kind, generous and open-minded women who get hurt and taken advantage of. You are so very wise to have not married. I saw no untoward signs before I got married, and I never knew about these posts, so was absolutely stunned to find that the situation had changed so rapidly after my husband achieved permanent residency. He was so very kind at first and when I think of these times, my heart is so heavy. Financially it has hurt me a lot, but the emotional pain over his (and his family's) betrayal is more difficult to get over. I have written to the US Consulate in Morocco concerning my situation, urging them to apply stricter controls on Moroccan men seeking travel and fiance visas. I am just one person, but if more of us take the time to write or call, in an effort to prevent this from happening to others like us, perhaps it will make a difference. I don't know, but I feel that I have to do something.

I wish everyone the best, including those who are going forth with their plans to marry. I remember it was a very exciting time. I really hope it will work out for you, although I have not seen it work. Please take care of yourself, and please consider the future and feelings of any children you may have.
