aysha i have some questions for you (Tunisian man)

Submitted by Manela (United States), Jan 7, 2007 at 04:19

i am a 20 yr old student who goes to a very prominent university in massachusetts. i am of spanish descent and recently met a Tunisian man who i ended up dating for 8 months and i think i fell in love with him.

the story is quite long. he met me at a spanish club and one of the frist things he asked was if i was christian. i said that i was NOMINALLY christian, since i really do not practice any religion. he told me he was as well. since north africans speak french (i speak french) thats how we ended up hitting it off. he told me he was french by birth and that his mother was sicilian. he said he lived in marseille.

i went thru his stuff and found out that he was tunisian and lied about his name. i also found a marriage license for 1997 and there is no divorce on file. i practically moved in with him this past summer. now that i asked him to tell the truth he claims to have a half tunisian half spanish fiance who is the daughter of an ambassador in SPain. i know that he has a baby girl here with a colombian woman who was his ex girfriend that he kocked up.

he has the tespih or prayer beads in his car but he drinks and obviously fornicates. i broke up with him because im starting law school at harvard in the fall and cant afford for him to ruin my life, but i wish to know what he is doing here in the states if he arleady was married for 10 y rs and has residency. and why he has such a mess if he is a muslim who is dedicated to allah then whey all this mess he is making?

and how true could it be that he is engaged to a woman that is the daughter of an ambassador in SPAIN?i looked through his phone and the area code for her messages is clearly from Tunisia. he is a car salesman, he lives in a crappy apt and has to pay child support. he is 30 and claims she is 20, what are the chances that he is really engaged to her, why would her parents (rich ambassador) allow their 20 yr old daughter to marry a car salesman who is 10 yrs older?

it would be great if you could put me at ease about these questions

sincerely

Manel
