Hi i need some new insight on my situation. After reading all these comments on here it is starting to make me think a lot about my fiancee. I am a 28 year old american 'white' female to be married to an egyptian man working and living in kuwait. I have known him for over 5 years and he had always said he wanted to marry me and loves me, im his heart his everything.. blahblah anyways. I plan to go there in 5 months to meet his family and friends,and he wants to get married right away at the ministry of justice and then rent a wedding hall to have a reception if thats what its called. He has it planned out very well i must say he tells me not to bring any money that he will buy all my clothes and everything else i need. He also mentions buying a bigger house for me.

He makes good money and said he says if he needs to go anywhere its easy for him to get a green card in any country. He also wants us to live in kuwait that he will find a job for me there. He all sounds real to me but after reading these comments im starting to doubt. He has always been respectful to me,although he is jealous and doens't want me to have any male friends not even on facebook. He had me delete the two other guy friends on my facebook account because they commented on a picture of me. I am in the process of converting to islam, even before i met him... i just want to make sure im making the right decision. oh and hes two months older than i am. So if anyone could give me any insight on this situation I would be glad to hear it, thank you so much
