Everyone has different search paths on the internet for all different reasons on and not all are looking for answers to tragic situations when they arrive on this site.

Not all situations are tragic, Isis, but it's pretty clear that if someone is searching for information on-line would rather tangle up a relationship defense of their partner because he/she has different skin colour, is from a different country or has a different religion, it tells me that the relationship is probably not as good or secure or some kind of utopian paradise as they would like us to believe.

It doesn't have to be a scam. A lot of times the relationship just doesn't work out.

Broaden your thought processes as it must be boring to be stuck on repeat!

The problem on here, Isis, as you well know, is that the same pattern of situations keep on coming up over and over and over.

And it will never stop.

It didn't even start with the internet (notice that her marriage pre-dates the internet) or with Muslim men. These kind of scams have been around since forever and when there isn't a scam, the question becomes if your relationship, fling, marriage or dating life is so terribly estatic, why come on here and tell us all about it or try to convince us?

The ironic thing about all of this is that you and I agree on here more than we disagree, which is good because I think you give out some very good advice.
