-------------------My first post apparently did not go through, so let's try this again, shall we?---------

Hi Angel, thanks for sharing, and I'm sure this was not the easiest post you've written.

The thing about men like this, and it does not have to be Algerian, Muslim men, is:

1) They are not going to change

2) If they are jealous, possessive or insult your heritage ( I wouldn't expect the women on here who defend their man to stand up for the Irish),

I am very sorry to hear that he has essentially abandoned you and his child. On a side note, this is a good story for the women who seem to think that North African men are exempt from this kind of behavior.

I really feel for you, angel, and I would just like to advise to you take care of yourself and your child. Please do listen to Hunny UK as well.

This situation is actually more common than one might think, and as a guy angel, this man clearly has zero respect for you and your child. Even if you converted to Islam and raised the child as such, I think there would still be problems. Many Muslims I know would consider his behavior shameful to say the least.

It takes more than love to make a stable relationship. I understand how you feel, and it will take time, but please, angel, phase this man out of your life. You do not deserve this.
