How Do I get everything right?

From my own experiences, people who are madly in love are in the state of temporary insanity. You cannot talk sense and logic with them. They only hear what they want to hear.

I have met many whom I believed to be my soulmates... but after a couple of years together, I realized how delusional I was.

exactly did you write a post on the internet to check whether you should marry?

is he Qatari?

if not what nationality?

have you physically met him?

then we could better inform you.

specifically here, the cot is high (dowry).

Angela, you are right to be concerned about several issues. Qataris need permission from the government to marry non-Qataris. And he would need permission from his family as well. Since you are divorced with three older children this could be an issue. And again there is the concern of his being able to come to the US. Marriage to a US citizen does not automatically insure a visa. It can be a long process.

get real, truefriend, that's a myth. not everything is fair in love, and certainly not in WAR!

Love has no border, and everything is fare in LOVE and War

mjamille28- Muslim man can married with either christian or muslim girls as long both parties are agree.

and to Angela dont worry if he is a qatari national he can married with any nationality as long as he got the approval from the government.

When you say "man from Qatar", do you mean Qatari national or a man working in Qatar?

If i read that correctly, you said that after you guys get married he will not be allowed to come to the US with you.... are you afraid that his family will prevent him from doing so? If it's that then don't you think he should stand up for what he wants (assuming that he would wanna come with you), rather than give in to his family and stay back "after" marrying you?

folktales huh

is he Muslim? because if he is, and you are Catholic, then im afraid marriage will be impossible, unless you convert that is...

Did u met this guy b4??? u have kids?? has he been married b4 also??

Thanks so much for your advice it is greatly appreciate. Our souls have definatlely found one another. He is in love with me as much as I am in love with him. Marriage was something that we have both thought long and hard for. My plans are to come to Doha to meet my soulmate and his family. What would you suggest about me preparing to meet his family, are there any things I should not say or do. Our cultures are definately different and I am trying to learn and understand as I love this man more than life.

hi angela, from the words "fallen madly in love", "confused" and "afraid", i can sense that you are in whirlwind of emotions, maybe high on a new passionate love you just found.

before you even worry about marriage, maybe you should step back and chill for a sec, and ask yourself, what is the culture of this man, what is the background of this man, am i prepared to be a part of this culture, am i gonna be part of his, have i met his parents, are his parents going to accept me.. etc etc.

in other countries, as long as you are an adult, you can go ahead and choose the life partner you want. in here, it's all about THE families.

i've been in this country long enough to know that this cultural differences do matter in making such a lifetime decision.

so step back, angela, and try not to fret about marriage just yet. maybe you can enjoy the relationship for a while, -- for a long while, until you really see the soul under the handsome face.
