I met him when I was 18 and I was doing a medical internship in Ghana, but we didn’t marry until 7 years after meeting. I knew that a lot of people would try to marry to come to North America but it never felt like that and he wanted us to live there. Years of dating and trips back and forth felt real but every chance random people, friends and even my mother would bring up the stigma of marrying someone who may want citizenship. It didn’t matter how I felt, it was brought up! We fought through all the gossip and married. It was finally finished, we could show them what we had was real! He moved here and not even 6 months of living together he left and never looked back! It took small fights and nothing more to break us up? I tried calling, texting, pleading but no response. I don’t know where he is and I’ve heard nothing more than that he used me. Random people look at me with pitty and my mother tells me that he used me. I never believed that he married me for citizenship, especially why put 8 years into it? I wish I knew what happened? I put my all into the relationship and now I don’t know what was real?
