Dear Unbelievable,

Feel sorry what you went through but also happy that you are now out of it.AND with children.They usually keep the children.That's the way this community works.Raise the number.You were too loving and that is clear when you mentioned that you were to convert to his faith & that also proves that he didn't love you enough since he was not willing to convert to your faith.Women are very maternal and forgive many faults.That is taken advantage of.Never ever give yourself totally to anybody.Nothing's lost .You have your life ahead and let him repay his Karma.You have nothing to do with it.Be the same affectionate self that you are but with caution.There is a YouTube video where Ukrainian women are interviewed about these kind of marriages.

One lady is smart enough to say what I have said here--"If I convert,it would mean I love him more and he does not reciprocate " and mind well this is from a nation which is not very rich.So be strong and you will get what is yours.Best Luck.
