Some of you are right, not ALL Moroccan me are bad. My husband claimed he didn't even want to come here, instead he wanted me to live there. No, not gonna happen, when you are in that country they have total control over you! He drinks, smokes, lies, etc. Did you know they are allowed to lie if it is to "protect" their marriage,or other reasons they can make up lol. the woman shouldnt know. It is called something like Taqqia. Lies are allowed in "certain circumstances" Start asking questions and see how angry they get. You "shouldnt know "what they are doing , its their business hahaha!

Yes his family is wonderful to me, and they do not approve of his actions at all!! He is unhappy here because it is "too hard" to maintain things, mowing, doing house repairs etc.." Above anything he cant accept the fact that I cannot work at pesent time due to an unexpected illness. Wow, no sympathy at all !!! He just resents having to work. He had never worked like this in his own country. He has gone home each year for at least a month. He says I am controlling because I dont want him just taking off with his friend at any time he pleases, and talking to other women on the internet. He thinks its perfectly ok to do as long as he isnt hurting me. Well it does bother me!! I told him this and he didnt stop anyway. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but sorry he screwed up on his own.

He says he is a prisoner in this house, hahaha. We had an agreement, Fridays mens night, Saturdays was our night. Well if his friend from Morocco decided to come and ask him to do something on Sat. he went with him. I have been to Morocco 11, yes eleven times! I do understand his culture, but he wont understand ours, doesnt want to. True it is a beautiful country and I had lots of fun. Most were kind and considerate to me. I am still trying to get along and see what it is he really wants! Let me tell you all something, most of it is all about pleasing him, " the man", be prepared for this !!!! The relationships between the men from there are more important. As I said before its hard. Just you better check out what you are getting into. Check the dating sites to see if your "boyfriend" has his profile on there, I am sure some of them do lol. Of course I really do love the man or I wouldnt try anymore. He does have his good points. It has been difficult. By the way his sister is married to his first cousin, his brother is married to his cousins daughter, his other brother is married to a cousin also. Strange to me. hmmm

Good luck and take caution
