Some things to consider, me

1) Marriage is not the finish line in scams or lies. Nor is having children. These scams are typically not uncovered right after you two are married. While what Dr. Pipes wrote above in the blog above the comments section is true, it can take months, even years, for a scam to fulfill itself. It's not even a Middle Eastern or Muslim thing--women from other countries have pulled the same stuff on American men.

2) I really cannot understand why women who say they are in good relationships feel the need to come on here and talk about it and in even some cases defend them. It tells me that there are doubts and misunderstandings. People who are truly secure in their relationships don't need to discuss it on the internet with strangers, and in 100% of cases I've been in, it's been minor doubts at best, massive insecurity at worst. Some posters have even basically asked us to make relationship decisions for them.

3) The talk of how some men just want a relationship with a Western woman because he thinks Moroccan women are shallow is a great way to hook a Western woman. Interestingly enough, if its Moroccan women who are all about money and things, me, why is nearly every case on here about Moroccans a man?

Knowing some Moroccan women myself, I think they'd have a thing or two about his statement.

I encourage you to carefully re-examine your situation, especially if you are older than your man and married him quickly.
