Egyptian used me for a green card

Yep, it's been ten years since I got out of that abusive marriage to an Egyptian who married me not for love, but for his green card. I was suckered by him and myself. Run.....run away from any man who is not legal or does not have a green card in this country. Can't say what a mess they will make of your heart and mind. Run.....mine lasted three years and it still feels like yesterday.

Do not be lied to. No matter your age, you can do better. The loneliness you experience temporary leaving someone like this is nothing compared to the degradation you feel upon yourself for just being with someone who uses you. Run................get out, sooner the better. Better yet, do not enter at all. There are many other adventures in life to partake in instead of a marriage to a foreigner.
