You are worth so much more

Hello Kris, having read what you are going through, you are worth so much more. This man is a control freak and is slowly but surely trying to get you to lose your own identity. No man has the right to do this. As they say a leopard will never change his spots. Also it is muslim culture for a woman to be submissive to her male partner.

I myself was in a relationship with a muslim man from morocco quite a few years my junior but i am glad to say i did not marry him or go and live with him, because as time went on i could see he was trying to make many demands on me that i was not prepared to do. I went to Morocco on several occasions over the course of 8 months and each time i saw another side of him that i did not like.

I know that you will have the strength to leave this man, otherwise you would not be writing on here. You have got many people on this site that will support you all the way down the line. I know that it is a hard step to take because you feel that you are a failure, well believe me you are not and you will be a FAR stronger person once you have done it.

Please let us know how you are getting on and we are all behind you.

Take care and god bless

Jenell xx
