Linda, Sorry to intrude on your request to Kathy, but reading your story set off alarm bells for me... have you been reading some of these posts by women just like you?

How many on this forum alone (who knows how many others are out there) who have the EXACT same pattern as you?

Older woman meets younger Muslim man (funny that most are from Morocco too). young man chats with older woman for months, proposes marriage, pushes marriage.... etc etc).

Do you not see anything wrong with this? I have read from one guy here who discussed how Moroccan men in internet cafes talk about reeling in these lonely western women. I read several other women on this board who have had the same experience as you! Read them!

Please let your brain take control of your emotions here Linda. Please think. Do not let your personal feelings of loneliness, of longing, of fanstasy of being loved and cherished by a good man blind you to REALITY. If nothing else, realize that these muslim men are from a totally different culture, and you may not like how you are treated at all. Every relationship changes after marriage, and this will be the mother of all changes!

THINK. READ. Be your own best friend, what advice would you give her?? TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
