Response to Ms. Clause---Cheating Moroccan man

Hi Ms. Clause! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

The thing is:

The fact that he is Moroccan has little to do with it. If he is gone and making up BS excuses to be away from you nights at a time and he talks about sex with other women, something bad is going on. Listen, I'm a guy, and he would not be bringing up the idea of sex with other women unless he was contemplating it.

Look, this man sounds like real trouble Ms. Clause, and there really is little choice other than to break it off. Now, I understand why you are attracted to him, but this will ultimately get worse. If you do not break it off, he will not respect you and will probably cheat again as he sees fits.

I really hate these situations because they are no-win scenarios. I've been on the receiving of a cheat a few times and the feeling never gets better. If you stay, they won't respect you, but if you leave, you lose the relationship, but in the end, that is what you must do. Can you really live the rest of your life like that?

I think the reason why you do not understand is because he's not being forthright about it and is mixed up himself. You do not need someone like that in your life and can do better.
