Hello Soraya and welcome to DP.

All the support is right here on this forum. Please read the other comments and you will notice how similar the stories are. In most cases you can just change the names and you'll find your exact story. You'll see that you're are not alone in these scams by Mena guys. It is the norm with very few exceptions.

Now that you have seen his intent and KNOW that he is up to absolutely no good, then please avoid him. Break all contact on every media. This includes a change of phone number. Believe me, the only way to get rid of these pests is to quit cold turkey.

It will not be easy at first because we humans like the challenge of the chase. However, just imagine how much they hate to be ignored. Besides, he is busy trying to con other women, which explains the breaks in transmission - you were not the first and you will not be his last victim.

Please find a distraction. Talk about it with a friend, ad nauseam. Make a list of the pros and cons of the relationship and be honest about it. Have a good cry, scream in a pillow; like I did, in order to get it out of your system.
Remember, you are at a very vulnerable stage after a divorce and so you will welcome this negative attention.

This too will pass and you'll be stronger in the end. You'll question what you ever saw in this sewer rat. Follow your gut feeling, it is never wrong.
