In a long distant relationship with an algerian man
I'm Ethiopian 27 years old living in Australia, and in a long distant relationship with a 29 year old Algerian man for almost 2 years now.
we started talking through Facebook and still are for a while now. I asked him what his intentions were? he said to get to know me and see what happens after that. anyway we kept in contact almost everyday asking questions about each other, skyping and then decided to date long distant in the hopes of marriage one day. I asked him what any body would ask, how are we going to get married when you know I cant travel to you and you cant travel to me? during that time he wasn't working but was training as a lawyer.
he answered by saying inshaa allah we'll come up with a plan.
anyway long story short, I'm thinking of inviting him to visit me for 3 months to hang out with him face to face. He has accepted the idea. He knows I live with my family and not alone, but he didn't try to find out more information about where he'll be living and whether he can afford it for 3 months or not.
my question is, since I'm inviting him am I expected to provide everything or should the man come already equipped? I don't know if he's expecting me to provide accommodation and take care of his expenses, why else would he not reject the idea and say wait until I save enough money because at the moment I cant afford that?
speaking of that I've been reading horror stories about men from the middle east and north Africa marrying for visa purposes. I'm not saying this is exactly what that guy is doing I'm just worried even though I haven't seen anything bad from him, he's such a sweet heart.
what do you guys think I should do? how can I test him to find out whether he's playing games or not?

its very hard to get any kind of visa let alone visiting/tourist visa for people from north african countries especially to come to australia....to do this you need to invite him with a letter and state many things about yourself such as :- essential you need to provide and prove you have a steady income,if you have accommodation to house him preferably under your name,you need to show you have money in your account to sponsor him as a bond precaution which can start from $5000 and more and many other things and he needs to prove he will have true intentions to go back to algeria, that he has money a job etc...also they easily reject tourist/visit visa for these people because these countries have been blacklisted amongst many other countries.
Im Australian myself and have married a beautiful honest algerian man so i know what it entails and we still have problems for him to come to Australia....it is extremely hard.
But you can easily ring up Australian Immigration and they'll be able to give you information about what you need to do for both you and him.
Wish you the best.
Let us know if the visa gets approved for him.
I'm already put off with all these expanses I'm definitely gonna be financially slaughtered, if I was to go through all of that without any assistance from him.
If things don't look too good on my side I'll jst forget about it, but I'll make a few checks with the immigration and with him as well.
He also suggested that we get married and live in Algeria if things don't work out here, but I'm hesitant because I don't think I can live anywhere apart from Aus or any western country.
Living in Algeria as a foreign woman is extremely difficult...we didnt marry in algeria but in eygpt and we couldn't handle staying in cairo it was really terrible and apparently getting married in algeria takes many months to process if ur a foreigner thats why we chose eygpt-took 10 days- i suggest tunisia if you both wanna meet initially as we did...algeria is not a touristy country...beautiful country but not great for tourism and admins and government agencies are terrible...everything is hard to do there even the most simplest thing...and also transferring money between here and there and vice versa is hard too..they dont accept aussie dollar or us the dinar and their dollar is really worthless...sorry to put a downer on everything but ive been through all this with my husband before
Anyway speaking about your husband,
do you have to travel back and forth to see him?
It's hard isn't it?
Best advice i can give you to help you both is to meet him in real...
Im turned off
I'm so sorry for what has happened. How long have you known him before marrying him? And did he seem really genuine at first?
Yeah you're right we'd need more than just a visit or two. I'm not gonna financially take care of him, if he can't afford it he shouldn't dream.
I realised he's a man without any plans of his own, after questioning him further.
I cant deal with a useless man.
Its true though...they need to put the effort aswell and show really that they are genuine
Mine sold his shop to get some funds to help with expenses in eygpt where we stayed for a month...i dont have money either but where theres a will theres a way
I know of these visa love rats..theres too many scams going on just using the girl...we need to be careful...use our heads not our hearts only...but we cant say all are like that too
But its true in these 3rd world countries the people from there are struggling in every way...financially and its hard to get a good job paying well let alone a professional job
I'm so mad on your behalf, may the asshole never ever smell the western world ever again if he doesn't fix his ways.
Don't worry karma is a bitch, you'll soon find out He's the type that deserve bad things to come his way.
Im married to a wonderful man from algeria.
The good thing bout him his not like many man i read about on internet. Asking money... Abusive... Very vulgar... And many more...
We met thru internet and been on a long distance realtionship for 2 years before he decided to come to me..
I invited him to come to my country... But as a man he and me plan everything before he come...
He did ask where is he gonna stay. How much he needs to bring... As at that moment he quit his job to be with me. As u know to find a job is not easy in algeria especially from his city Khenchela...
Moral of the story is... His expenses is all on him. He bought his own ticket.. Pay the place to stay here in my country...
But now we have other issue. Cos he cant stay here too long so he have to go back to his country 1st then come back again.
To my surprise his family doesnt wanna help him. He went back to his family home. But when he reach he was chase out from the house becos he comes back without money or anything... Inside my heart wtf.... So he stay in streets... Work during the day to find money for his airticket and come back..
But 1 day his brother saw him on the streets and call few of his friends to beat him up.
They tried to kill him. But they let him go once people around start shoutin and call the police.
Both his brother and his parents when his with me here everyday called and ask about him and say missed him. But its a total different story to his family. His family curse him cos his not makin use of me and ask for money to give it to them.
Im so disappointed. Actually.. Not all algerian man are bloodsuckers... Even they speak the language we speak sometimes you have to explain...becos in their culture, it u are a guest... Food accomodation everything is on the host. Its best u explain to him.
For me the reason i join this forum is i would like to engage a lawyer to sue his family for defamation... And i would like to know on how i could make his brother be fired from military becos of their gangster behaviour. And his parents for accusing him and make him lose his water face.
If anyone knew please let me know
Omg his family are terrible.
So what has happened ever since have you two sorted things out?
As for my situation it’s still the same nothing changed, the man I’m ‘dating’ is still relaxing hasn’t made any moves lol 😂 I’m not even bothered anymore I’m waitong for the perfect moment to be like, right! You’ve had your two years almost three entertaining me now I’ve had enough.
You’re right about how they expect the one inviting to take care of everything because they’re the guests, but I still think it’s good to come prepared cos you never know what’s gonna happen you know?
If anyone needs help I will send all the details .
But my experience is not good with my wife. She is very beautiful, very religious , clean and almost perfect in all regards but she has some issues with her morality.
Recently I had a very bad time with my business and health. I had to return to Pakistan but she denied to go with me. I was really shocked. We have one daughter and she has been back to Algeria. I have been to Algeria and now she is not calling or answering me easily. Last week I called her and asked her because I really missed her but she told me “ What to discuss? There is nothing new to talk, why do you call daily?”
Can anybody tell me what is all this??
Is the world so cunning? Have we lost morality to this level? I swear I have loved her beyond limits. I am passing through very hard times.
She looks to be a wife of Good Time only !!
By the way I had a very good business and I was going to buy a villa on her name !! But it didnt happen and better I had not.
I belong to a very rich family but I had not shown the reality to her. Now I am moving to Canada and shifting my business there . Now I am healthy and I hope I will stand again and I have made my mind I will never return to her.
For any support , please write to me and I will guide you.
He was so loving and nice at first but after about a year he turned into a totally different person he started talking about how other women were sexy and I wasn't, and that he wanted a second wife and if I didn't like it he would leave me. He would criticize my appearance and be mean and hateful with me and argue and fight with me every day. He blamed all of our problems on me and said that I was the worst thing that ever happened to him. He would accuse me of saying and doing things that I didn't say or do. He would pick fights with me and then I wouldn't hear from him for weeks.
I have caught him several times chatting privately with other women and when I confronted him about it he would rage and blame me for it and then give me the silent treatment for weeks..He stopped telling me he loved me and that I was wrong to expect him to show love to me or say it when I was causing him so much stress. I don't know what stress he's talking about I am over 6000 miles away and he doesn't work he gets free money...I have to work extra and do everything. He threatens me with divorce all the time if I stand up for myself or confront him on any of his bull crap. But he still expects me to give him money every month.
Two weeks ago he told me that he wanted to go on a shopping spree and expected me to send him more money, I asked him to get a job to help out because I can't afford it. He got very angry, and told me that I just won an enemy and that it's over, and hasn't spoken to me since. This has been my experience with an Algerian man
please don't feel that algerian men are like this greedy .. i had bad experience too but it's not the end of time ..
Well, first of all i want to thank you about your expressions and explanations of your stories, personnaly a lived a similar story with a girl form usa for 2 years from 2011 to 2013, and unfortunatly she was sheating on me after i find out her facebook account that she used without i know about it that contains a lot of pictures with her boy friend.
Any way, what am tring to say is that you can be with a serious person as you can be with a player and there is no relation with an algerian or other countries.
Personnally and in my case i sent a lot of present, postal card of this girl during this relation, and she never send me anything, i tried to meet her, but the she never made effort for that, i saved money which was very hard that time because i was just a student but she spent her money to change cares from one to a better one.
I didnt juge her she a free to do what ever she want with her money, but i discovred that's not fair that am tring to do for he but she didnt.
Know and talking about money it dependes the personality , if i dont have money i will do my maximum to be with my partner without telling her about my situation, and as u are paying the bill he will think that you are wealth and he will never stop to let you paying the bill.
And if he want really to quit the country because he want to improve his life situation as he is living in the third word all that he must to do is to choose an immigiration program as a canadian or austalian one and not to make a girl falling in love just to marry her and for the citiesenship.
Hope that my message was clear

you talked with a child that's all

Maybe after a period he release that
I am too from USA and met someone on Facebook from Algeria 5 months ago. I have currently spent about $4,000 to come next month to meet "my man" and his family.
Everyone in the USA has told me this is a "lie" and he just wants his VISA, but with all the new immigration bans that President Trump has placed in I agreed to get my VISA which I was just approved last week.
I am excited and scared at the same time, but a woman of my word so here I go.
I was hoping to meet some ladies I could trust or match up with while there just in case things go wrong quick as his family lives 4 hours south of Algiers. He has already told me to cancel the hotel and stay at his family's house. Its been interesting with the cultural differences vs my expectations.
Any advice or anyone willing to meet up when I am there would be amazing!
Thanks, LeoLade
Sorry to hear you were unable to connect with the person you love. I have done everything in my power to get to him, I am just unsure what to expect and fear the worst as no one is supporting me here in the US to go to a third world country to meet a stranger who could do horrible things to me and I may never return. Why cannot anyone understand when you meet someone and you feel something you become determined to live, love and laugh.
)I have strong feelings and would not have invested this kind of time, effort, or money if I did not. I, myself, have never married and have video chatted with his family and him for 6 months now and would love to meet them. I am expected to stay in his sister's room with her until we decide we are moving forward with our relationship once we meet.
I have been told once you marry Muslim man they change and he could kidnapped me and not allow my return to US. He wants me to stay two months, but I agreed to two werks. Due to my mom being very ill and cannot leave her for long.
Any other advice other nothing before marriage and treat everyone with utmost respect, but also want the truth!
Do not stay for 2 months you have not even met him in real life and to be a guest in his house for this long is a lot, better to stay in hotel you have your own space.
As you are from US that country is not like yours, you would just be staying at home all day you wont be able to go out and about and do what you want like a tourist in another country if you do not speak arabic or french. You would need him a lot to get you round to places too
