I don't always check all the posts and so i didn't see your request for a reponse to your post. Here it is finally, for what it's worth. I hope the advice on this site has helped you see that you weren't the only one scammed and also hope you're feeling happier now that it's in the past.

You asked if my husband ever asked me for money. He hinted by saying he needed dental work but never asked for money for this. Later he demanded that i call him and knew that it cost a fortune for me to call, also demanded that i help pay rent on our apartment in Istanbul even though I was struggling in Canada to survive while i did his immigration. I hate remembering how incredibly stupid and desperate i was. As for your illness, it might have been contaminated water as these countries don't have the cleanest water. In my case, because the severe gastro symptoms occurred two times right after arriving, i suspect possible arsenic poisoning due to the fact that these illnesses coincided with him having realised the visa wouldn't be approved and wanting my inheritance. Just a hunch, no proof, but poisoning is common as a way of dispatching unwanted women there.

Take care, be happy - call this experience a chance to write a novel and become rich and famous :)
