Yes I get this feeling that his family knows about me also. He was divorced in Feb of 2008. On that day he came online and told me about what went on in the court. When I got there in May, we both had to have documents showing our divorces for the attorney that he hired to attach to the paperwork. The date on his document was the same day that he came online bragging that he was a free man. I save every chat session we have had. Jordan has made it so hard for these man to marry women from other countries and now I see why. From the translation of the divorced paper, it reads to me like she divorced him. So I believe he is divorced for right now anyway. This year was the year the law was passed that Jordanian women could divorce their husband. She was in the top 50 to file at the time she filed, and the list is growing. But I do know he can take her back with a new dowry. It states that on the the divorced paper. Another reason I think he is divorced is because of a statement he made after he saw the gifts I gave his kids. He said my gifts to his children are so nice, and will make him look good to his ex and her family.

He will carry his weight in my house like a man or he will not be in my house. He knows this. I am a probation surveillance officer, so he tries so hard to prove everything to me to make me feel comfortable with him. When I ask him what does he mean by 5 years, he just laughs and say he kidding with me. Yes I saw that between the lines also, that it will take him that long to prepare for them, if he is scamming me.
