You wrote- "His mom has been a widow for many years, I have met her and she accepted me unconditionally. I have also met his sisters who love me like their own sister. I really find no faults with him or his family accept that they are a little naive and get taken advantage of."

Have you actually met this man and his family in person? I understand this to be an internet relationship so how can they love and accept you you unconditionally without even knowing you personally or having met you in person.? You are reading into their communication with you and they are telling you exactly what you want to hear.

Have you considered improving his life and that of his family. You are being set up for a scam and you will be paying for all the travelling and accommodation etc etc that you are currently discussing. Did you ever stop to think WHY he can't get a visa to a western or European country?

Next you will write that his Mum is ill and needs money for an operation or that he needs money to pay fines and to stay out of prison amongst other things. You have been caught hook line & sinker!

I'm amazed that you are still going on with this relationship (??) as I would have thought that sense would have prevailed by now.
