Are you crazy????

Are you crazy? Why would you go to a foreign country to marry a man you don't know? Which part of 'he wants you for a visa and money' do you not understand?

I met my husband in Egypt. I came back home, we spoke every day on the phone. I returned within one month. I met his family. I returned again to the UK. Two months later I returned to Egypt. We were married and we lived together. He NEVER asked me for money. He wants to spend every minute with me. He tells me he loves me. He holds my hand wherever we go. I have got to know his family. He puts up with my 'English ways'. He has improved his english language. We worked together in Egypt with English tourists. He worships the ground I walk on.

He paid for our wedding in Cairo. Last week I came home to get back to work here in the UK. His visa application is being processed. We speak and SMS daily. He has never asked me to change religions to be a muslim, he accepts me being christian. I have found out where the nearest mosque is for him here, and have investigated the halal food shops. If he cannot settle here in the UK, I will go back to Egypt with him. He has a job waiting here for him when he arrives. We should only be apart for a few more weeks now. Marriage is about LOVE, not visas, not religion and not for money.

If I were you I would stop contact with this man, and do every thing you can to get your marriage annulled, as quickly as you can.
