I have always thought that 'my mohamed' was different. And that I was smart enough to know the difference. Well no. Egyptian men are the best actors in the world. If you would have seen how he spoke to me at home, holding me like I was a little baby, you would have thought he was a man in love.
But fast forward almost 3 years later and I know it was all a big lie. Egyptians don't have to make an effort to lie, they just open their mouth and it comes out. That is why you believe them.

I can write the whole story here but it comes down to the same thing: lies, selfish behaviour and disappearing and turning up again whenever it suits him. No empathy at all. It is so hard to walk away from them because they can make you believe they will catch the stars for you. But they never will. They will only make you see stars because you feel dizzy doubting what is true and what not.

There are good egyptian men, but they marry egyptian women. The ones that are after a foreign women, 100% have a hidden agenda. Save yourself heartbreak and don't go down any road with them. It has costs me a lot of money, my sanity and I am a single mum now.

Good luck ladies. Fairytales do not exist. These men are not the princes they pretend to be.
