Marrying an Egyptian man.

Submitted by Hannah (United States), Jan 23, 2009 at 15:26

I married an Egyptian man, he was also well educated, and he has a law degree, he declared no end of love to me, but when we were married, he started to treat me badly.

he was always asking for money, I sent what I could but he always wanted more, eventually he realised that I was not rich, so he used the excuse that his mother was ill and she wanted him to marry an Egyptian girl before she died. I got a divorce from him but now I am trying to pay the bank back, it will take me at least two years. by the way, he wasn't muslim but coptic christian, he is now 39 and still not married, so I think all he wanted was money and a visa, he did try twice to get a visa to visit England but the embassy turned him down, they obviously didn't trust him and they were right.
