To Jordanians

You are right on the mark, he knows a few Jordanians here. A few cousins and a few friends. He has never talked about a green card though, but he does say if he comes here , AFTER I go there of course, he wants to stay, he dont want to travel back and forth to sell his condo , etc...

I had another red flag, or divine intervention as I call it, today, I reserved my plane ticket, only to find that there is now a high alert for amercian travelers to the middle east because of 911 and the mosque in NYC and the pastor who wants to burn the koran. I dont k now what to do. GO or not. When I try to let go of him, i am devastated.

Why does your husband need you to make a better life for his kids ? now THAT would send up a red flag for me. I dont think they need our mo ney, per say, I think they just need "US", WE are worth more than money. My bff married a syrian man ten years ago, immediately after the marriage he started taking trips to syria without her, staying months at a time, leaving her penniless, with no food, heat or electricity. He kept this up until he got his citizenship, then he took off back to syria, is a member of their parliment, and she is having a hard time divorcing him. He owes thousands to the IRS, state and local taxes, ruined her credit, all utilities have to be in someone else's name, it goes on and on. She is in a mess. Please be careful. I am a softy when it comes to picking my own men, but I can spot a con man or abuser a mile away for other women, and I am always right. I just wish i could transfer that talent over to my own life.

I feel like and addict trying to come down off my high with this guy,. Is there a 12 step program for women of muslims? LOL
