Just Curious Debbie- marrying a Moroccan

I am curious Debbie , since I did not look closely enough to find a date of when this was published, what has happened since you wrote this comment.

I am going to Morocco myself to meet a man that I have chatted with for almost a year. I intend to marry him if all the papers required are obtained in time for my trip. If not I will return to marry him next year. It is a similar situation to yours...he is quiet and works hard. he has many friends that he forgoes time with to meet me online.

I have closely observed his body language and behaviour...as I am as suspicious as anyone else. But there is really no reason to not believe him. He has encouraged me to find out all about Moroccan customs and sent me links to many sites giving me information about Morocco....even the negative stuff. He makes no excuses for the "bad" men there and has left the decision to marry completely up to me.

I have also met his sister online and talked with his mother. He shares photos of everything from family to work. The only real difference is that he is Christian. Half of his family is as well and the other half is Muslim...they all get along fine and respect each other.

But I am wondering what your experience was or is like...and just want to give you some support since for every positive comment there are a hundred negative. I know many interracial couples that get on just fine and have a wonderful life and family. All the best to you....and I do hope you let me know how things are going. Take care and remain blessed.
