Response to Linda (USA) on Lisa's Moroccan Marriage

I'm not sure why you are on here, Linda, but my guess is that since you are taking the time to defend Moroccan relationships, you have a personal stake in one or more.

I'm going to have to say, "Let Lisa be"....she is an intelligent american woman with her eyes wide open.

If she had her eyes wide open, she would not have entered into a quick marriage with a man who has previously been discussed on here.

She is not an idiot and seems very happy.

Lisa is not an idiot, but I very much doubt she is happy. Her posts are quite aggressive and written in haste and she takes any sort of criticism of Moroccan men on here personally.

People who are secure in their relationship do not need to do this or write long essays about it and comments and criticisms about their spouse's culture/religion or whatever should not bother them.

Their are those that are happy being married to Moroccan men. Take Rosie for example...she lived in Morocco with her husband and came back to the states with him. She says he is a great husband. Not all Moroccan men are scammers...

1) Unfortunately for the women on here, most of those Moroccans who are not scammers will marry Moroccan women.

2) Not being a scammer does mean a relationship or marriage will succeed. You still have the compatibility issues, cultural differences and of course the usual bad pool of men.

and hopefully Rosie and Lisa are the lucky ones who found the good Moroccan man. (Like a needle in a hay stack, but they did). I hope we never find Lisa on here writing how her marriage has failed.

That's a possibility, and I hope she does come back if she does. She would find support from me.

Also, regarding Isis and Lina's initial stance on Lisa's marriage----I have told Lisa to be wary of those who keep saying that on-line relationships are bad, yet they are supporting her marriage to man from another country that she meet on-line.
