My Mohamed

Hi Pauline,

How are you? Hope you're ok. About me, well … happy as of the moment but of course, there are questions running through my head. Pretty much normal in an online relationship right? But like what I said I am willing to risk. It's better to be hurt than spend my life thinking what could have been? I know, I sound naive but I want to have strong, solid reasons before I walk away. Right now, I have none. And I don't want to break up with him just because of all the sad stories on this blog. If he is indeed a liar, I am sure I will find out sooner or later. And I promise I will make the right decision if this happens.

By the way, he is the only son in the family and the youngest at that. He has 2 older sisters. No brothers. Oh Pauline so many times I tried to forget him but I can't… I just can't … I don't know honestly. He had shown nothing but love and care for me. He promised to visit me here in the Philippines before end of this year. He talked about our future together and how we will raise our kids. I mean those things that should not be discussed if he just wants to play around. What is his reason for staying for so long? I am not a westerner and about sex, well he knows that I am still a virgin and he's willing to wait until we get married. I also opened topics about Muslim men changing after marriage. He said how could I generalize all Muslim because of these few, bad men. Indeed, we are kind of harsh on that matter right? Of course people are different regardless of his/her country, culture and religion. There are some interracial relationships that are successful, maybe I am part of it. Lol.

Probably, I will return here crying along with my painful story. Then let it be… Lessons are learned through experiences right? Thanks sweety! I feel you genuinely care for me. I will not ignore all the advices here. I will proceed with caution.

Love,

Amber Rose
