Thanks for your thoughts. I am leaving behind an abusive marriage. I understand the signs. I know the lies and the games. They cross national and religious boundaries. because I have been through the wringer and I will not compromise my independence or myself again. I will not make decisions that endanger the lives of my children--who have a father who is active in their lives.

I'm not gonna marry this guy. I'm not even divorced yet. If he's looking for a green card, he may move on soon. If not, well, who knows? As far as conversion to Islam goes, I barely believe in God so I can't really see that happening.
