A few months ago I was with an Algerian guy we broke up at first for some little issue and I didn't understand why. My first Algerian boyfriend and after finding this column, and reading everybody's stories.he is my last. We got back many times on and off and tried to work it out. I was not allowed to go anywhere without him.he made a suggestion for me to look down when we are walking together, because he did not want me to look around so I can't see any man when walking. And I looked at him like he was crazy crazy and I will argue with him and let him know that I have my own personality.

He did not liked the fact that I can look at people when we are together and that I will only look at men, in his mind. He accused me of sleeping with many men, when i told him he was the only man that i am with. He was very suspicious about everything.was rebellious.Every now and then I let him brain wash me, do his ways to control me just to let him know that I'm with him. Because, I LOVED him. But, I also has to let him know he cannot control me to the core. We had a love and hate relationship. He was not fully develop but he knew how to use it well. And when I said well, I mean Veryyyy Wellll.But it was not about the development, it was about the sexy intimacy. And I think he did it in purpose to make me fall in love deeeeep, to imprint his heart in me. So he can brain wash me, use me and hurt me.

We talked about marriage. He told me that he talk to his mom about me. He brag to his mom that I was crazy and that we were both cray cray.We had our funny moment. I can keep on but..... To make a story short we broke up again, and it has been two months. I missed him so very much. But at this time, I know he is waiting for my call to tell him to come back. Hes prideful so he will not call me, I also have pride and putting my foot down, And it HURTed so much. I'm getting over it little by little. He texted me about his sunglasses that he left at my house,this is after a month and a half without talking to him. and I drove and drop it at his work, handed it to him with no eye contact he said thank you,and I said your welcome and drove off. It hurt but I had to be strong.

This column or page is helping me a lot to ease up the pain. I'm sorry if I'm a little vulgar or blunt about my story. But thank you for allowing me to write. Moral of the story for sisters that had fallen for these men. You are not alone when your in pain. Keep reading, it helps. Now thank God I'm over it. But every now and then,what could have, should have question if we got back together. Is Would have been no good.
