This is an interesting topic for me....I was married....wife died....I come to Doha, fed up and loneley, met many woman, none British but now settled with a lady and now thiniking of proposing marriage.

She is african am Scottish, our cultures clash hugeley, but I think it is worth it......my post not really help in the original question....but what i am trying to say is why culture should make things different....i accept her way of life and she accepts mine.....and somwhere in the middle we meet.....hope this makes sense....look forward to a response......take care always....life too short!!
