Dear Luigi,

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to respond. Indeed, my Egyptian man will be visiting his family next month and I recently learned that he will be introduced to a potential 'wife' for him over there. He does not care for this opportunity and is indirectly putting pressure on me to make an official 'move', meaning engaging in a relationship with him permanently. I understand his desire to be married and have children and I feel that out of respect for him, his family and this young lady, I have to step aside and not interfere with his judgement. Perhaps you could explain the following: he loves my open mindness about all religions and I always accompany him to the Mosque. He tells me that if he can bring Islam and the word of Allah to my world, then we will be together in the 'next' life. My readings in the Quran are very preliminary so I'm afraid I cannot interpret what it fully means. Again, my fifth sense tells me to be careful...
