I found your blog and so much of what you wrote is true.I met my soon to be ex husband almost 6 years ago.We've been married for 5 years. He was divorced in his home country of Morocco (I asked to see the decree before we ever started dating) when he came to the U.S. years before I ever met him.

After 3 years of marriage and him having his permanent green card he cheated on me,he begged me to forgive him and like a fool I did.He just received his U.S. citizenship on Feb.5,2009 and called me after returning from seeing his family in Oman asking for a divorce.

His reasoning is that he now wants children,he knew that I could no longer have children when we met.He & I are both Muslim,him by birth and I converted years before meeting him.I hope that many more women can be saved from this type of hurt by your blog.
