Hello Susan:

I am posting down here because I would really prefer not to be at the forefront of scrutiny on top. To address some of what you told me....

First yes that is my birth name, same as yours but I really do not want to publicize my personal business. Second, when I first read this post I was so very very upset I did confront Mohammed with a lot of the information I had obtained from this site and about you and Abdel. I was very surprised that with such a long term relationship that I did not know of you. He was also reluctant to disclose the information. He wanted to know the site but at the time I could not remember the name at all and wanted him to tell me on his own rather than reviewing the site itself. It honestly does concern me that we are with best friends who know about us but we do not know of one another.

Well Susan let me tell you what in my heart I truly feel about everything. I love Mohammed very much and I know him probably better than he thinks I do honestly. I am not new to this culture I have been a muslim for a very long time and my children are also muslim. Do I believe that he wants to live in the USA to better his and his families life, absolutely and honestly I would probably want to do the same for my family if the tables were turned. There is something I truly see in Mohammed that I believe with all my heart is really very good and yet I know he is not perfect. But I have been around this earth long enough to also know that there is no such thing as perfect. It is what you as an individual can truly live with. Only God knows his true intentions. I felt it has been fate that brought us together honestly and because I have chosen this man as my husband, I also feel I can not give up that easy on our marriage. He is accountable to God for his intentions and what he does in this life and I truly believe that we will both be asked one day about our responsibilities to each other. With all that being said, I also feel it is my right to know as much as I can with the man that will be a part of my life. I pray about our relationship each and every day and I believe God is the protector of all if we call upon him. I am saddened by what you have told me about Salma honestly.

Anyway, I too wish there was a way for us to talk with one another outside of this site. Have you used skype at all? maybe we can set up something on there? Please write back. But please post down here, ok?
