Thank God, I didn't marry the man I am writing about. We dated seriously for 4 years and he was very sweet and caring for the first 2 years. Then he started getting jealous of my female friends. Male friends were out of the question, even gay ones. He would get very upset if I wanted to have lunch with a female friend. If I went out to dinner with a female friend, he would make trips by my house to see what time I got home (my neighbors told me they saw him) and then give me the 3rd degree about where I was, etc. The sweet side of him was wonderful and he was a great lover in bed, but I couldn't take his jealousy and possessiveness anymore. It was sad at the time that I broke it off, but looking back, I am so glad I did. I would have been miserable if I had married him. I found out through a friend that he married a woman from his country. Women from their culture and used to how they behave and don't mind it, I guess, or don't have a choice. American women have rights and deserve to be treated as human beings, not possessions.
