you know what, this sounds similar to the guy i was dating and just broke up with. I believe that this guy is under pressure from his family/ cutrual beliefs . I went through some of the behavior with my ex for 5 years .

It has taken a very long time to convince myself that nothing would come of my relationship with the guy i was dating- still to this day i think he was the one, but his family didn't see it that way. I know if he wanted me back , i would run back in a heatbeat, but only if i had a commitment from him

Arabic men are my weaknees. they're charming, gentle and passionate lovers but they always know how to get you wanting more.

Maybe it's time to let it go. I only say this to save more heartache in the future coz it won't get any better. i don't want you to go through i went through.

hope this helps - i know it's hard but you need to be strong within yourself...good luck
