Dear Karen,

I hope you have already made the right decision which is to stay away from this man. I have been in a relationship with an Iraqi man and I have a son from him. I had left him right after my son was born. He is a pathological liar and manipulator. He does not make difference between a lie and the truth as long as he has a goal to pursue. I will not tell the whole story of the unbelievable pain he brought to my life and the horrible games he has played just to get what he wants without thinking of me as a human being at all. What I want to say is that I know him very good and his friends too, all of them iraqi men. All of them are the same kind of people. He was pretending his family was one of the most famous and rich one in Iraq, that they possessed thousands of acres of ground, many houses, and so on...gold...money...businesses... Bull shit! All was lies. No money, no nothing. He stole evrth I had, and it was a lot. He left heart broken and financially bankrupted. They lie and make stories, they are ready to do anth to get out of the miserable life they are having in Iraq. Its nth they cant do to get a visa or any kind of entrance to the normal world.

Dont listen to his words, they all use the same manner to conquer your heart. Do not talk to him at all. They learn from each other how to manipulate and to use the good naive women by turning and twisting the facts the way the could put the blame on them ALWAYS. Once you have felt guilty and not good enough to prove your love to him he is able to get many things from you. Open your eyes and stay away from him.

They are also not educated, usually they make stories but they are not. They are far from gentlemen and have no idea how to treat a woman, they are more like primates, in many points they are so primitive and they dont know anth about the westerners life and manners. You will never feel like a WOMAN with him. They think we have to pay and support them. Ha, an iraqi woman would never marry such a loser, thats why they are looking for a westerner ... who could support them. Do not ruin your life. Their idea of love, respect and family life there is nth in common with yours, I guarantee. You will suffer for the rest of your life if you let him into your life.

Plz, Plz, Plz do not believe in anth he says. Its obvious for anyone he is a scam. My story started in similar way but unfortunately there was no one to keep my eyes open for the obvious things.

I wish you luck and be strong. He doesnt love you and if you know him better you would not love him either.
