Abusive Moroccan man

Religious and other differences aside, this relationship is incredibly dysfunctional. In a word it's abusive. He has hit you. He has made you feel like nothing. Ask yourself, is this love? They do say the truth comes out when you're angry, or at least variations of it.

And by the way, hitting a woman's face isn't permitted in Islam - bet he didn't tell you that.

You appear to be very maternal and have almost taken this man on as your child... let me tell you now that's the worst thing you can do for a man, ladies, they DON'T respect you for it. Nor are they thankful. You become the opposite of what they're looking for in a woman, which is a recipient, someone vulnerable. By helping a man out you're stopping him from doing what nature wants him to do - provide and protect. Ride or dies ALWAYS get cheated on or abused.

It's not your fault. You have a good heart but hopefully you've learnt your lesson from this, and I have to ask would you support a fully grown, male loser if he weren't so "exotic"?

Regarding an abortion, ultimately the choice is yours and none of us can tell you what to do. It could either be a blessing or a curse.
