To Rachidi

Thank you for your honesty, Rachidi. I know now that my husband really wanted to be married to someone else, not to me, but I could help him get to the United States. I petitioned for him, did all the paperwork and paid for everything. He didn't get his visa last year because he didn't prepare adequately for the interview. I was extremely disappointed at the time, but now I realize it was the best thing for me. If he had made it to the United States, he would have left me as soon as it was good for him, never mind how I would have felt. He knew I was faithful to him, and wouldn't like him being with other women, but he cheated on me anyway and tried to hide it from me. I am sorry things are so difficult in Morocco, but it is not right to lie to, and cheat, Western women, or any person for that matter. We are all God's children, and God sees what we do. We can try to justify our behavior, but God knows the truth.
