I was in an internet relationship with a Moroccan man for almost a year. I was vulnerable and he knew how to push my buttons. He had the nerve to ask me for money when I am unemployed!!! He put on this sob story that he was starving. He is 31 and lives with his family so he eats like a King. But he had me sucked in so much I was ready to fly off to Morocco, leave my family behind and marry him.

I am so grateful I came to my senses - I would have been nothing more than a prisoner and a slave. He was sweet talking and charming at first; but I should have suspected something was amiss when he said he loved me the second day we talked. I confided in him about my financial situation and that I was applying for disability. He jumped all over that! I go to Morocco to be his wife and he can take my money, make me a prisoner, and probably go marry a 18 year old virgin. I know it's hard to let go sometimes but please move on; trust me you'll be glad you did!!!
