    Apparently she doesn't speak French. That would certainly trigger some alarm bells with me.

    True. I agree most educated Moroccans have a decent grasp of French. My nephews and nieces speak Moroccan, French and basic English.

    DON'T DO IT!

    I thought I was going to marry a moroccan, but I called it off after finding lots of dessicated coconut flakes everywhere, it turned out she was a macaroon.



    Love it. Thanks for the laugh!!!

    Pollycat said it one way:

    " Aren't there any eligible women who are already living in the UK and are able to speak English? "

    I'll say something similar:
    You are British - are there no British women within the matrimonial site that you might fancy? Whether Brit-Asian or not, at least you would not have the language barrier.

    A 'loveless' marriage, producing four children?

    Time to readjust your matrimonial target-acquisition. Or rewrite the script, perhaps?
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    This thread is ringing bells, especially the four kids in a loveless marriage. :cool:

    Well, it's keeping some students happy in the Easter break, no doubt.

    I was in Ireland once, trying to find this place and I stopped to ask for directions.

    A very helpful and charming chap said "no you don't want to start from here"

    Starting on a matrimonial website is where you should not have started from.

    Even without the site, you are culturally different, you will each have different expectations from the relationship.

    One lady I knew was from a culture where the men are macho pigs, she told me that she was used to that and kinda wanted it as part of her respecting a man.

    Putting aside all the issues of prostitution, visa seekers, con artists (my mother needs an operation, we just had a hurricane etc) you deserve better. It is not about the assets, you might save for them all but in due course they will be sold to pay for the care home you will end up in. In future, tell people you are broke with no assets, be tight as hell. You can tell this person that the UK Gov has rules and you do not earn enough to fund her visa as you are on benefits.

    Stop looking and you will find that you can fall for smile of someone, be enticed by their nature and if you are really lucky they will feel the same way about you.

    Write it off as a nice holiday, cut off contact, stay away from such sites, figure out your needs and what you have to offer.

    Try taking up new interests, go to meetup.com and see what is happening in your area. Volunteer for help the aged and/or a local dog walking charity, animal lovers tend to me nice people and the events they run are likely to have a better audience.

    Get the snip because 4 kids is enough for this planet, seriously! Ask David Attenborough

    how about (call me old fashioned) taking a lot more time to get to know her, meet her relatives and freinds etc - why risk bringing a virtual stranger into your childrens lives let alone yours. If have doubts just walk away

    Not 'old fashioned' - just a lot of common sense :)
