To Innocent--Moroccan Man

Hi Innocent,

Can you answer my question. The Abdel you met, does he bad teeth? Very crooked? No we have not reconciled. We are only friends in my book.

There is not more to his mother being younger than his father. I was just making a statement to ensure we're talking about the same Simo/Mohammed. Are you two legally married now?

Yes, Salma and Simo had many many fights. From what Salma told me he did not like her being an strong willed and independent woman. She spoke her mind/said what she thought. Supposedly at the airport she got upset cause they charged her credit card twice when she was flying back to usa the first time and yelled at the man at the counter. In the Moroccan man's eyes she disrespected Simo. Abdel agreed this was not good for a woman to do in Morocco. Then Simo got mad at her for raising her voice at the airline attendant and she spoke her mind to Simo. This is what I was told. I wasn't there. But Abdel agreed 100% with Simo. Abdel hung out with Salma and Simo alot during her stay in Morocco. She even took Abdel, Ali, Simo and herself to Marresheck (spelling) for a little trip. She spent lots of her money on Simo's friends and family.

Simo was always pleasant to me on web cam. But this is when Abdel was around too.

Simo did not show any hint of violent/angry behavior prior to her arriving in Morocco. This thrrew her for a loop big time. Like this isn't the man I thought he was before I came to Morocco. His violence didn't come out for about 4 months of her living in Morocco with him as husband and wife. What Salma told me is she thought they were to live in Morocco forever. But Simo changed his mind and wanted to LIVE IN THE USA. He got angry at her cause she only had a disability check. No Job, no home, no real income to get him approved for VISA to USA. I think Salma left Morocco in Feb. 2008. In fact she did. Yes her divorced was finalized per Salma. I met Salma through Abdel and Simo when she went to Morocco cause I was suppose to go meet Abdel. I talked to her on cell phone the day they picked her up at the airport in Casablanca. We started talking after that and became friends. We had a disagreement since then and no longer talk as friends.

Listen, this is what I know. I have no reason on earth to lie to you. I have nothing to gain from lying to you. This is Salma and Simo's story. Maybe things are different for you and Simo/Mohammed. Maybe Simo learned from his experience with Salma.

I wish you the best.
