I am so sorry for this sad story. I never went through as much as you did, But I did end up marrying a Muslim out in Egypt, for he and I had planned for him to come to the USA, where we thought we would have a happy life. My Fairy Tale book was not worth a Look.

However, on my second trip to his country, we tied the knot at the Ministry of Justice, and I resided there for awhile but with a little or no smile, and it was Not what I had thought it would be. His family turned on me, it was all about his brother and his new wife who got married a week after us, in Muslim customs with big a fancy pants wedding, and I felt cheated and very mistreated during my time over there. After awhile, I felt like some peasant work woman, Abandoned as well, and "Not good" because I had no money on me anymore, I had given over every dime when I first came to see him, As well as the Second trip. His brother's wedding was taking the family broke and it was causing a lot of strife in all of our life.

I left when it was time for me to leave. I decided not to give up my plane ticket. We tried and tried to make it work Online with Skype and for me to come back over and live, rather go through the pains of trying to get him here, which I didn't possess the credentials. But I always made lame duck excuses for not boarding back on that plane and to Just Remain...At my own safe haven.
Wit the Middle East burning right now, Isis everywhere, it is best to find someone in your own country and save yourself the hassles of bringing a foreign spouse to your own country.

Right now, I doubt he has divorced me. He has now, after 4 years, stopped talking to me. He knows I am not returning to his poor village of Nothing and to Nothing with anything else he had Never tried to offer me.

Please, anyone wanting to hook up with a foreigner in another country, think twice. There are many times repercussions.
