Take Care Please

I am writing this as a warning to others and I thought it would help me. I won't go into details but I was absolutely convinced that my Egyptian was in love with me, all the signs were there I was just blinkered.
he wouldn't introduce me to family but was always very honest about this and said he would bring me to them as a friend at first. On my final trip to Egypt ( I went on 3 visits and married on the second ) his mum was 'sick' and he left me alone for 5 days. In a foreign country this is frightening.

After I got home he called out of the blue after two years of our realationsip and said he had to marry an Egyptian Muslim and I would be his other wife. I think he expected me to say yes to I refused. After that he tried to talk me round with endless messages. The finale phone call he asked if I could set him up with a friend from my country so he could come and visit me !

Then on Christmas Day he asked for £1000 loan ( probably for his wedding), before this I had been asked for no money or gifts but I think he was desperate by then.it was all about money/visa/sex I don't no. He's 8 years younger than me and played a very good game but ultimately was full of s**t. Just be careful don't open your heart, if you have to go go with caution.

Take care all
