The $200 Question and sob stories--Moroccan Man

No name, while this man is your husband, I do think that you have a problem here. For one thing, if you were as independent and secure with your marriage as you would have us believe from your posts, I don't think you'd be looking this stuff up on-line. Your spat with Sharra only magnifies this.

On the money: If you two had dated more in person and didn't have a distance marriage (you mentioned having to send him money), this would not be so much of an issue. However, even though you are married, sending him money will probably ultimately have the same effect

You do not really elaborate on your situation, but I find it hard to believe that someone who is unemployed or making so little money and working long hours 6 out of 7 days would have the time, money or resources to be on-line so much. I mean, really, if his situation were so awful, you would think that internet would be the first to go.

It's also worth noting, Sharra, that his predicament of being either umemployed or making not much money is a sob story.

I think the distance is taking a big toll on you and your marriage and I don't think you completely trust your husband.

The pattern with your situation is the same that I've been seeing on here for the last two years.
