Laws of Attraction - Morrocan Man

Submitted by Brenda (United States), Apr 18, 2007 at 11:11

Where do I begin, I suppose I'm just venting, sharing my experience with a Moroccan Man.

We met on the internet approximately 12 months ago, which progressed to talking online nightly, to talking on the phone. The phone calls were on me, since he says he is poor and unemployed.

I didn't mind, it was magical, breath taking and such a wonderful experience to share my heart with him. As time progressed he told me of his life, he was poor and no jobs in Morocco. I wanted to talk with him more ,so crazy me sent him money to buy a computer for his home, not realizing it opened the door to expectations from him.

After that I now feel like he viewed me as a money tree. He says he is in love with me and calls me his wife....but all along the emphasis he talks of a lot is money. I've sent him money a few times. He has called me too. I was to go to Morocco to marry him but of course since he is unemployed, poor, I am to pay for everything, and since he see's me as his wife, I should be assisting with supporting him while he lives in Morocco.(This is what he said...we are as husband and wife in heart so what is yours should be mine even before you come to me) He refused to live in Morocco and only wants to live in the USA. I fell for this all...heart and soul...fell in love and was blinded by it.

Finally I begin questioning all this. He became upset with me, confronting me, making me feel like I was a bad person since I didn't agree that it was my place to send him money to support him till we are face to face married. Sorry, but this is just my being.

Then I realized he spent much time on the internet as I worked... read my lips, each morning I get up and go to work while he sleeps till 2pm each time. He doesn't look for work in Morocco, says no jobs to be found. So things begin happening, the walls building cause he insisted his women on the internet are only friends he emails and texts, that should be ok with me, but it is not, I'm the jealous type.

I told him love is like a flower, it needs to be nurtured to grow (watered) my flower (love) was wilting. He begin putting distance between us, contradicting what he said, I caught him in so many lies...and I was so in love with this man...

Don't send money to your Moroccan love. Be careful if they call you their wife within months of meeting you.

Sadly, I wish this had worked out, but it didn't. And today I truly do know he was using me.

I wish you all luck with your Moroccan lovers, but just pay attention to all the signs.

Thanks for listening,

Brenda
