Nina-Response to Moroccan men living in US

Submitted by SomedayNY (United States), May 25, 2007 at 01:10

I have been seeing a Moroccan man for 5 years--Not my smartest move-believe me!!! He has been in this country about 15 years. Our relationship has been very rocky to say the least.

I read a prior post from you where you said that you were catching him in lies, and he said it was your imagination--funny but whenever I would catch my guy in lies (constantly)--he also would blame it on my imagination, even telling me I was wasting my talent and should be in Hollywood writing movies.

I've known for a very long time that this guy should be pushed to the curb--but I have not been able to. He cares nothing for me, I love him but it's a no-win, unhealthy situation. I'm not so sure it has anything to do with him being Moroccan-because there are good and bad men everywhere, but I find it interesting reading other's experiences and finding a lot of the same things in my 'boyfriend' --lack of true caring, commitment, taking what ever they can get, good talker, disrespectful, etc....I would love to find & talk with others who have been through something like this.
