After being married to a Moroccan man for 2 years, how is it? It sucks!!!! He resents working, he yells and pitches fits when he gets mad, he resents having a car payment, he resents helping pay bills.

Yesterday, he told me life was easier in Morocco. I told him go back, but don't come back here. He says he never worried there, even though he was poor. He says life was better. I say, go back there and good luck.

Kiss your money goodbye. I think I have gone through probably 20,000 at least in the almost 3 years we have known each other for trips back, gifts, etc. He wants to save money, but is fine with me paying for almost everything. Poor pitiful me, he says.

Well, this is my two cents worth. More later, thanks for listening.

That is exactly the truth...they are happier in their own countries- thats why women who bring them here are doing them a disservice..

I saw a reportage about Cuban immigrants- and one woman said she was happier in Cuba- she was poor- but she could take her bike and go to the beach- in the USA the have to work their ass off...

Usually it works that way: those who emigrated are sending letters full of bogus stories how great their life is now- because they are ashamed to tell the truth...and it encourages more and more people to emigrate and the cycle continues...

Of course islam is partly to blame- because it is a fatalistic religion- if Allah wills it - then so be it- if not- then not...so that you only sit and wait...inshallah

The muslim way of life just cant agree with western lifestyle...
