you are right about not all moroccains being lazy, damn we have enough lazy australians too, i am a hard worker though and someone who does not even try is lazy to me i guess... and many moroccains, like aussies, like am sure americans, like am sure many other countries definitely are lazy, i spent a lot of time in morocco and maybe know a little better than some others i guess... but rather than seek work, to me any work is worth your self esteem... i am aboriginal australian and know the hardship in trying to get work even if i am the only person who applied for the position, even if i am the most qualified, after a while it gets hard to try again and wait for the answer that, thanks for your application and we appreciate you application but dont call us we will call you... never the less i try again and again, i dont sit in a cyber cafe looking for an escape.... my husband says he is poor but in reality his family is considered to be middle upper class even in aussies standards... the ones who dont know conditions for aboriginal aussies, well now thats the poor life and we that want to better ourselves spend years doing it to remove themselves from that situation... not by marrying someone for an escape... my situation is my responsibility, my life is my responsibility, is it not?

As for marriage, every marriage is a challenge, no matter what the country or monitery situation and millions succeed at it... so for this reason and because i love my husband, i will strive to give it my best. an elderly cupple told me one time that the success to marriage is never take your anger to sleep with you... am rarely angry with my husband and we just seem to enjoy each others company most of the time... he has many good qualities as do many moroccains or aussies or other cultures.... but dont blame your life on anyone else ok... in the end... your life is your own responsibility... if its a mistake then ill live with my mistake... not blame another man or woman or country for my own stupidity or laziness or situation....
