Ok, I get it that you are in love with him. The only thing I don't get is why you would give up your freedom? You do know you will be considered property. You do know that as a foreign wife your status will not be like it is here...in the US. You will be considered low, because you are a recent convert to Islam. You were not born in the faith ~ so there for your status as a wife is very low. Y

ou will be treated more like a servant then a wife. You will be treated worse in some cases then the family dog. If you decide later that this marriage is not for you, and you wish to divorce him...and do. Who are you going to turn to? Their religion states you can go to your nearest male relative. Will you have a brother or cousin (rl life) living there? If not, who is going to take you in? No one. So then you will have not have a choice, and dont beleive he is going to take you back!!! You may think you are unique...but wrong~there are dozens of women on the internet that he will woo and fall for him...or may be he has other women he woo's all the time. And you just dont realize it.

The thing is~I can relate to you. I know how it is~but I value my FREEDOM. And I would rather have a choice, then to be considered property. The US of A, fought hard to give its people the freedoms everyone on earth deserves. Dont be ignorant and think that your love will shield you from giving up those freedoms. And if he comes here to the states...you must realize his religion states he can marry another ~ while being married to you! So who really wins?? Not you! There is no argument here. Just Facts. If you must live in a fantasy, go read some romance books. Because all the blog posts here have factual truths to them. You are not unique, and your romance on the internet is just that a romance on the internet or a romance on Cam. Know the facts. And then find someone here in the US with goals and real commitments to you!
