hello everyone :)

11 years ago

i need to hear some opinion and advice about my situation..

i have an egyptian boyfriend i meet him through internet and now we are already in 6months of constant communication. I am separated here in philippines but not in legal way yet and i have 2 kids . the egyptian guy wants me to move in egypt and marry him after 2 years from now (since i'll be working in dubai for 2 years). he also wants me to convert into actually there's no problem with that because i am willing to follow his religion in fact now i am attending online session of new muslim academy. But i have lots of worries in mind since egypt is a very conservative country and most mother wants their son to marry a muslim and virgin woman. sometimes i feel hopeless for this relationship because of culture differences but everytime he said he loves me i gain more strength reason to hold on. this guy manage his own business actually a corporation with his brother. My concern is that our age gap, he is 24 while i am 28, he's single while i am separated. i am doubtful if his family can accept me since his mother never know yet about me although i have lots of picture in his facebook, i don't know if his mother saw it all. this man is very jealous and strict, he don't want me to talk with any man, even his friends he don't allow them to talk with me. and before i can make such decision i must consult or ask him first. hehehe that's the way he loves me even we are miles apart i can feel his presence too much. I have read all facts about egyptian man about marrying with different culture, some are fruitful but some also failed.
do you think he is sincere with me and will really kept me until marraige? and by the time that i will move in egypt do i allowed to stay with him as i am not legally separated yet?
