To Jenna some answers

First of all, Jenna, I am glad that you and your husband are a part of the Catholic Church, yet, your presence on here does cause me concern.

As someone who did on-line dating for 10 years as well as investigations into the matter, I can tell that many of the themes you read on here can be applied all over the Second and Third World.

So, Islam and the Middle East are not to blame.

Most of the problems arise from the distance and the lack of information available from on-line communication.

There's also a lot of excuse-making on here. A lot of women tend to put up with more male nonsense on the basis of "it's his culture/religion"

What it really comes down to in a lot of cases are older women dating younger men and overlooking mistakes like outright cheating just to be with someone different.
