Dora,

Your comments could not have come at a better time for me. I have been in this whirlwind relationship with an egyptian man whoinitially presented as charming, intelligent and caring. However, upon actually meeting him in real life, he was found to be tempermental, self centered, and just overall what I would describe as an angry man who is very jealous and suspicious of women. I was crushed, to say the least, that this man did not reciprocate the feelings of " love" (hahaha....LOL to that word) when we were finally able to be together. The strange thing is even after this disasterous meeting he still manages to try and control me by watching my moves on msn...I am simply stunned and amazed by this ... But, your words helped me to solidify my crazy feelings that I have been having over this man and move on from him.

I truly pity the woman who ever does marry him, because while he may be physically gorgeous on the outside and a smooth talker and charmer, he is certainly not mentally or emotionally gorgeous. So, thank you for sharing your words :))))))
