I can Relate

Submitted by sue (United States), Mar 30, 2007 at 17:40

Hi Robin,

I am married to a moroccan man who is 28 and I am 54. We met on line and finally married in Sept. of this year. He did come to the US to be with me and we went through all the immigration stuff required. He is very family oriented and feels responsible for his mom and brothers. His father passed away 6 years ago and although he is not the oldest, he is the most responsible.

If you are ready to relcoate then go for it. Each time I visited Morocco I stayed for 30 days or more.....not with his family but we rented apartments. We were allowed to do this because they recognized that I was the American.

do your research.......it is somewhat dificult to get residency status in Morocco for americans. I am not saying its impossible but it is difficult. Visit at different times during the year if possible. You really need to decide if this is a good move. Your boyfriend may be perfectly comfortable with your situation but to LIVE there is very different. Everyone will not accept your relationship.

You can send me an email and we can discuss further if you like. good luck and stay happy. I am at smazyck1@cox.net
