Moroccan Man, A cautionary tale!

Submitted by Nina (United States), Mar 28, 2007 at 18:20

I just broke up with my Moroccan boyfriend almost 2 weeks ago. He has lived here in the US for almost 10 years now. We had been together for 11 months. In the beginning, he was charming, sweet, and very kind. I will spare all the unnecessary details but I found out recently that he had been cheating.

He was constantly caught in lies. He said that I was imagining things. I believe that we as women have a sixth sense when it comes to that sort of thing. What floored me about the whole thing is that when I confronted him about not one, but two women, he had the audacity to tell me that it was okay for him to cheat (yes he used the word cheat!!) because he did not make a commitment to me.

Is it my imagination, or when a man says to you that you are the only one and he does not want you to date anyone else implies exclusivity to me and at the time, I had no reason to doubt that. He also said that he would not cheat on a Moroccan woman because she would not tolerate it! I am not saying that they all are bad, but I have crossed them off my list for potential partners.
