Hi Jackie!

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you.

One theory is that he was staging the whole thing to get you to marry his brother. That could be why you met his brother on-line and why his brother his taking the holiday.

In any case, Jackie, you can do much better than this man. I doubt that what you felt for him was real matrimonial love, but I can understand why you were attracted to him and I know that you sound geninue and are probably just looking for someone decent and good with kids, but you're not very likely to find that over the net in another country.

I would highly recommend starting the process of moving on. It will not be easy, Jackie, but know that you have 100% support from me and come back anytime you like.
