OK I guess I never made it official OR actually ever told EVERYONE ....including my family YES I GOT MARRIED. Was trying to avoid judgement, I just wanted to enjoy being happy before sinking into the "whys" or "what were you thinking" or "are you f**ing crazy. YES I maried a younger man. We are happy, I have a great new family that accepted me. I was afraid to share with my blood family.....I am sorry, think I made a bad judgement call thinking ya'all were small minded. Saif is the best part of life every day I wake up and I am his happiness each day... plz let us continue being happy is all I ask

I'm not sure what this has to do with a K-1 visa. Sounds more like a diary entry.

Go and be happy, regardless of what others think.

I really endorse telling the truth ESPECIALLY after the hell I am going thru now. I didnt tell before because he is younger...and with my family..because he is Arab. NOW by my stupid FB posting, accident I am suffering hell because he is French/Arab...way too young for me and worst of all...I didnt tell we MARRIED. I was trying to avoid pre marraige bashing but it is now 10 fold

I have NO real advice, just posting for others
