My Tunisian husband is a liar and a cheat too.

Ok, I hope that this message gets out to many innocent, good hearted women out there!!! I will try to keep this as short as possible. I met a Tunisian man on an an online dating site. He was the most amazing, charming, thoughtful man I had ever met. He agreed with everything I said and it seemed like we just had so much in common. I was a fool and I fell madly in love very quickly! And this is going to sound wierd, but I know he loves me too but he has had a funny way of showing it, We have almost divorced a few times. I married him and agreed to sponsor him to get his citizenship in Canada. I was fully aware of all the possible things that could happen, but I did not care. I loved him so much that I wanted to help him regardless. For our marriage, we eloped. And it was the happiest time of my life. We were so in love and couldn't get enough of each other. Meanwhile, I noticed he was on the computer chatting all the time and many were women. I got a little suspicious, but he quicky re-assured me they were only friends. It wasn't until 10 months later that I found a bunch of MSN conversations on my computer between him and other women. He was having web-cam sex and planning to meet up with one girl in particular whom he had the most 'conversations' with. I was absolutley mortified!! I was utterly crushed! I went totally berserk!! I phone my parents and they agreed to come to my city from 3 provinces away to move me back home.

Meanwhile, I spoke to the little lying cheat and he actually tried to deny everything! He yelled back at me and told ME to listen!!! He said it is not cheating! He was out of town at the time and I was praying that my parents were going to show up before he got back. but He came back sonner and her started to work on me, to get me to stay with him. And because I am sponsoring him, I decided to stay and try to make it work out. If I leave him and he decides to not work, he can apply to the government for money, which I would be responsible to pay back to the government because he is not allowed to receive welfare. If I don't pay the government, I will go to jail.

Many things have happened since then and we are not much better. He does drugs and he even got into cocaine for awhile and now we are up to our ears in debt. I am a mess and I am waiting until he gets his paper so I can get away from him. If he can act, well I can too!!! I am biding my time until that day comes. For now, I am pretending to be a happy wife, I have some plans of my own and friends to help. He is going to get exactly what he deserves.
