Hey everyone.

I have been seeing a Moroccan man.

I’m smitten.

The conversations between him and I are very repetitive and are starting to be red flags to me. I’m so sad.

Basically:

-we are the same age

-met in person

He says that he hates Moroccan girls because they are greedy. They want their husbands and boyfriends to buy them flowers and gifts, take them out on dates, receive mehr😂 or provide for them.

He doesn’t like to take me on dates now (as soon as I agreed to be exclusive)

and is saying these opinions to me now that I am emotionally invested in him.

he’s talking about a $500 Mehr and says I’m delusion if I expect a dollar more 😂

He said I love you within a week of us seeing eachother

- he wants to move to my country because he hates Morocco

- control/jealousy

-doesn’t keep his word

- serious marriage talks

- all of these things started coming up once I reciprocated feelings. Seriously like a week after I said I love you too.

I didn’t think he could use me for visa and such bcs

- I’m WAY out of his league in looks, education ect

- we’re the same age, faith and similar cultural background (I’ll say my parents are Moroccan adjacent 😂)

We don’t clash on religion, culture or anything.

I thought he has to be genuine.

Now I’m not sure.

@ItsWhatever

seriously you found all these red flags and still asking, I'm speechless, the least of the least for a man is to keep his words that's like some man universal rules, since he's muslim he should also know that his religions asks him to provide for his family, also Islam gives you the right to ask for whatever you want in Mahr and it should be given to you not your father as many people do unfortunately, if what you ask is too expensive for him he should leave because that money is reserved for you to use freely in case of emergency or divorce, yet he goes against his religion's teachings, this boy is clearly not responsible nor acts as a ''man'',

anyway at the end of the day you're still free to decide if you want to spend your life with him, good luck,

oh btw if he hates this paradise we don't need him here either, we're happy

@ItsWhatever hi. Unfortunately from what your saying it sounds like his intention are wrong and everything you are saying sounds like he might be using you to just leave the country.

Yes it looks like red flags. Just act with caution and wishing you all the best.

@BusinessBoy

Yes, sadly I’m in love at this point.

He’s not a good muslim, I know. He does a lot of haram things on the low and says he’s trying to change and get better.

I’m so sad. I’m gonna take some space from him now. We see each other multiple times a week right now.

Thanks for the reality check.

I should say this guy has some good points too.

We were friends first

I made the first move

He does split the bill

He borrowed money before and paid it all back fast

I’m not investing huge amounts of money into this guy

We have good physical chemistry, emotional chemistry.

I cant ignore the red flags anymore though.

I just canceled our plans to meet tomorrow 😵‍💫

There is many of good man here in Morocco. Try to choose one yourself instead that someone choose you. If he is expecting from you a visa this is not bad at itself in condition that this man should be real man willing to work and provide for his wife financially and emotionally. Someone who is really respecting his religion. Who will not respect his religion will not respect you or maintain his promises and duties toward you.

Have best of luck

I wish from Allah to open your heart to Islam

@brssth

To clarify - I chose him.

I made the first move and he said he liked me too immediately.

Yes, I’m afraid that he won’t respect his duties to wife since he doesn’t respect his own religion.
