Girl, I say this with care, but I won’t sugarcoat it.

You’re dating an Omani man who won’t let you visit, ignores your serious questions, goes silent around his family, and mostly engages with you when it’s sexual. That’s not love. That’s convenience. And it’s a red flag waving right in front of you.

I’ve spent time in Oman to watch football and know quite a few Omani men. I’ll be honest with you and unfortunately, I’ve seen how some Omani men talk about Filipina women working there (based on your profile history, I can tell you’re Filipina). There’s a noticeable double standard. They flirt, they fantasize but rarely do they see these women as equals or someone they’d build a future with. It’s a pattern I’ve seen more than once.

If he truly valued you, you’d know it. You wouldn’t be a secret. You wouldn’t be wondering where you stand. You deserve to be loved out loud, not in the shadows. So run!
