Lisa I am glad you posted this and I want to say that I just returned from Morocco the 14th of December after spending about 3 1/2 weeks there with my fiancee. I met him online last january and finally got to go there in November and loved every minute of it. I was very sad to leave him there and it was very hard in the airport to say good bye.

I dressed how I wanted and out of respect to their culture made sure it was clothing was not too provocative even though I saw many girls there with very tight fitting jeans and shirts. It was also very cold and rainy there so I had my jacket on a lot. They don't have heat and air like we do here in the USA and I had no problems with it.

He unlike your fiancee is not well off but he lives with his family and the best thing about them is the love they have for eachother. They accepted me as their sister and daughter and opened their home to me. They didn't have much and the home was very old and not in great shape but, it was the best time of my life and I wish I could have stayed. I felt very secure in their city and they don't even lock their doors at night it was that safe there. If we went out somewhere he paid for everything when I was there all I paid for was my plane ticket over there. So even though he is not rich he still works hard and does not sit in a cafe all day doing nothing.

I am an educated woman with a very sucessful career. I am 38 and he is 32 and I can tell you also that my fiancee has never asked me for anything. He is supportive and treats me like a queen. He is not jealous and for sure not abusive with me. He has 6 brothers 4 of whom are married and I seen the love and respect they had for their wives and their wives were so nice and loving with me also. He and his family were all that my ex husband and his family wasn't and he is everything I am looking for in a man. I hate it that people say beware of muslim men because I can state for a fact that not all men are the same and that is a stereotype that I have to battle with everyday.

I will look for your pics on Myspace and send you a message so you can see mine! I am glad to see that I am not the only one who loves their man. I am curious to talk with oyu more. take care and I hope that our stories can show that not all muslim men are what a few are saying. I know I am ery happy with my choice and would love to go there again soon!
