Help answer this question below.

My sister is dating a man from India and she is nervous about his intentions. She read a lot of stories about Indian men having relationships with white women and later dumping them for an arranged marriage. Does anyone have any experience with this?

    I just came across this, as it is Valentine's Day, and I was missing someone. He is from India. He had lived in this country 14 years when we first met. In September 2002, we began a very passionate relationship. And in February 2003, I found out that I was pregnant.

    He left me in August 2003, when I was seven months pregnant, for what was supposed to be a two week vacation. I only received one phone call from India to say that he had arrived safely.

    Our daughter was born in October 2003, and I went to his friend to find out what had happened to him. His best friend accidentally told me that he had gotten married in India. He returned in December 2003, married to woman who is half a world away.

    He saw our daughter three times the first year, and then he changed his phone numbers, leaving me with no way to contact him.

    My daughter is seven years old now, and she has no memory of ever meeting her father.

    I want to caution anyone who dates a foreign man. I think that sometimes as Americans, we underestimate how strong the pull to their country really is. His country, his culture, his language, and his family will always be first. And he will walk away from you without so much as a goodbye if his family wants him to.

    Why? The only answer that makes any sense to me is that he never loved me. It didn't matter that I loved him, that my family loved him, that I was pregnant. He couldn't wait 2 or 3 months to take me with him. He had to leave right then. He didn't just break up with me. He ran halfway around the world to get away from me.

    Just be careful who you give your heart to - make sure they deserve it.
