I must have won the lottery !

While I am all for realism, unhealthy pessimism and prejudice do nothing to help anyone. Ihave had negative experiences too in the past Luigi, cost me a hell of a lot more than 4000 euro believe me so I learnt. All my partner has received materially from me have been a couple of pairs of trousers and shirts and not because he cant afford to buy them either but any normal woman likes to pick up things for her man when shes out shopping.

I got a designer wristwatch for my birthday so its not like he tries to sponge off me. He pays his share of living expenses and like I said he knows that any time the marriage breaks down he says goodbye to his citizenship. So he has plenty good reason to make it work and not piss me off. This is a very small community and his reputation is very good - his employment is in a water polo club patronised by 75per cent of our community, so its like he lives his life under scrutiny - in the long summer months he does not even set foot outside the club because he lives there and still even people who normally dislike Arabs have nothing to say about him.

You cant live life categorzing people - in some parts of London, I would not like to say I was Maltese because especially in the past all the pimps and drugdealers etc were Maltese. My background is entirely different however ! I can't remotely understand why you find it hard to believe that my intention on comiing online was to gather information on my partners background - I realise that this site is nothing of the kind and wont be using it again. It has very valid persectives for those who intend to marry a practising Muslim or even to settle down in his country of origin, both of which are not my case . I was more interested in learning about attitudes, history, culture, cooking which I have now found in certain other sites. The same way he learnt about mine, only I have to go online ! I trust my man as much as I could trust any other man LOL - neither more nor less, his country of origin has nothing to do with that.
