Why are they ALL liars?

It certainly is very possible that your man was forced into the marriage by his family. The man under discussion is still in Oman under the influence of his family which if you understood the family ethos under Islam, is very strong. He has obviously married a Muslim woman and the Muslim union would be the one preferred by his family. Being with his family he has no alternative but to abide by this decision even though his choice would have been to marry you.

Giving consideration to the above which you should have known if you were in a relationship with him for 6 years, I ask why does this make ALL Middle Eastern men liars?
