Hold in there, times change, people that come into your life change.

Shame on all muslim men? All is a wrong word. Granted, there are some men out there after nothing but a green card, but there are also some women out there after nothing but a green card. Also, this sounds like a despicable man so in this case he can call himself muslim but based on his actions and words, saying is one thing, being is another. If he was a true believer in Allah he wouldn't have treated you like this. For me, I have met a muslim man that I will marry. I took the time to get to know him and I also had him checked out....and all has gone well! (I live in US, he lives in UK.) Then for my sister, she met her husband in college. She wasn't a muslim at the time, but he was. My sister eventually converted to Islam and they got married 11 months later. It has been over a decade and they are both happily married with 3 young daughters. Then there are my brother-in-laws brothers and sisters...they all want to come to the US, but they have applied and are waiting...non of them chose to do wrong by trying to marry a US citizen to get a green card. In about 5 years all of his brother and sisters will be allowed to live here permanently. So please try not to degrade every muslim man, there are still plenty of good ones out there, you just have to meet them. Also, if you are wealthy, why not try to hide that aspect until you know for sure he already truly loves you and not your money?
