lack of trust in moroccan men

Submitted by cheri (United Kingdom), Jan 20, 2009 at 04:45

8 months dating a moroccan from Inezgane- I go there and book hotel and stay there instead of staying with his family he is calling all the time- he is afraid i will meet another moroccan whilst in agadir, the family tell me to stay for 1 month next visit- I m invited to a Moroccan wedding in March- I feel that this is when marriage will be forced on me-

I am supposed to pay for the marriage and now he says he has no money for telephone England. Thinking back i realise he is desperate for marriage to only a westener becuse Moroccan women do not earn enough to pay for home extension to live- I see sick family members at his house- this is no way to live. It is flattering that a young handsome man loves an older woman and i believed his declarations of love but i tell him no way can i pay for house and i wait for his response.

If you are beginning to feel used just for material gain it damages your self esteem but it is better to know the truth and get on with your life.
I cannot trust that he is not seeing other women and i know that without trust there is no point.in any relationship otherwise you are desperate and who needs to be a doormat.
