Hi Isis

all i am saying is i for one , no, believe me or not, I did not know the reputation of these men, not to the extent of the lengths they go to. If I did ,then hell no I would not have been so stupid as to get involved. In fact not one Egyptian young male said i love you...will u marry me. He was the only one I got talking to and he seemed at the time pleasant and we got on well. No i did not know their culture or if he was educated or had life experiences. But I take people as i find them and at the time I thought he was good. Yes I got involved and Im not ashamed to admit that. Knowing what I know now ,yes I would of run a mile. Its good to walk away with dignity I agree, but I am being honest in my posts here, that doesn't mean i am wallowing in self pity. I knew what I had to do and many others have done the same. We all learn by our mistakes and I wont be going in for seconds.

I have read all yasmin's posts and she has shown great strength, we all are dealing with things in our own way but that does not mean we have no respect or dignity. We are all human and our emotions tend to take over and weaken us at times. Admitting we still have some feelings is not a crime, but we are trying to deal with them. I am moving on and so are others, we are not machines that can be turned off at a switch. This site is for honest comments good or bad, weak or strong.

thanks for your comments and support.
