Response to Margaret

Submitted by Amber Rose (Philippines), Jun 22, 2009 at 00:54

Dear Margaret,

I talked to him last night and asked about this Orfi marriage. Thanks for bringing this up, by the way. He said that this kind of marriage is not good as per Egyptian standard and he won't marry me through Orfi, for sure. He will have our marriage officially registered, so I will not worry about my legal rights. He said: I will not keep our marriage secret Baby. All people will know. I want to keep you.

Reading all the posts here makes me even more confused. I really don't know anymore. I love him so much but I am also scared of what lies ahead. I could not think on a single motive on why he wants to marry me. I am Asian, not a Westerner. If it is about naughty stuff then why experience all the hassle of marrying me legally? Maybe he really loves me?

What will I do? I can't afford to lose him. But I can't fully trust him either? I feel like hell.

Love,

Amber Rose
