Hello Amanda,

I was going to marry a Moroccan man before and i have been there many times, i have also met all his family and stayed with them. They are all nice and never ask you for things at first, but then somehow they make you send you money and so on!! To them even if we say we dont have money, or work hard to make a living they still see us better off. They dont earn so much over there and even 100 dollars, or pound,s now and again is so much money to them. I used to say i will never send him money but i did!! We did finish more than 1 Year ago and glad i did. I could've been married with a child with more problems as he wanted me to convert to Islam too, but never said this to me before, always used to say, no you can keep you religion my pearl, my live......

And yes they do want to marry you and yes they do talk to other woman, they like to keep their options open for the best deal. The family will treat you like a queen if you go over is a investiment, this is what is all about. If you do go to Morocco one day you can understand what i mean. But is advisible to inform your local embassy as well as having a good insurance. I have been in hospital over there not a nice experience.

I do wish you well and please be careful.
