Response to Innocence

Submitted by Amber Rose (Philippines), Jun 24, 2009 at 00:45

Dear Innocence,

I deeply appreciate your response. We are a bit similar, meeting our Egyptian man online, although we chat via yahoo messenger. We started talking last January 2009 up to date. I would say that I am happy and contented on this cyber relationship, except the time he went missing for 2 weeks. Even though he informed me ahead of time that he will be extremely busy on the coming weeks, still I felt lonely not talking to him.

He became a huge part of my life, more so to my everyday routine. Besides that, he is very kind and caring towards me. I couldn't be happier. What I like about him is his level of intelligence. He's one of the smartest people I know. For sure, we are intellectually compatible and I am drawn to him even more.

Innocence, I love this man so much but I am terrified reading all the post here. Am I sure? I am not honestly. I have so many doubts of him changing after marriage. Will he stay loyal to me for the rest of our lives? How is he as a father? As a husband? As a confidant and friend? I want to discover these things about him and I am willing to gamble my heart. Do not worry Innocence I will not rush into marriage. I want to know he's real intention to me. My parents are happily married for 26 yrs. now and I want something like that for myself. I don't believe in divorce and even if I want to, there is no such thing here in the Philippines. There is annulment but it's a tedious, agonizing process.

According to Luigi his disappearance is some sort of strategy to lure me. lol. Anyway, we are talking again from his work everyday but just for a couple of minutes because he's busy. At least now, he finds way to keep in touch all the time. He sound genuine to me and never felt like he's using me for something. Hopefully Innocence, he is really genuine. If not, I know I will find out just like all the girls here who have their hearts broken by these men. I won't give in to either money or sex. On this way, I will prove the sincerity of his love. You said I should give him tests? Do you have something in mind? I am excited to apply it. Thanks again Innocence. Keep in touch.

Love,

Amber Rose
