the sorry, was more to ease my mind, anyway.

Had to look up the word obstinant...
I'd say the finnish men are that too.

I'm reading all your postings so I am listening, I'm just trying to ignore them.
If I'd listen to your excuses I might as well not trust anyone that says they care for me.
I really work hard on trying to walk the middle road, but it's in my nature to choose the right opposite of what I want if I'm angry or hurt.

I'm no that very obstinant I actually give up rather easily on something if someone asks persistently enough. I'm stubborn on just the things I really think are important and worth it.

Yeah, women are complicated, even I think so.
It's confusing when you want to do something but then again you don't.
You can both love and hate something at the same time...

"I'm reading all your postings so I am listening, I'm just trying to ignore them. "

Erhmm...then why did you send your orginial message to this forum in the first place? Presumably to get a second (and third, etc) opinion about all of this.
Ok, so you do not agree with what people are saying, it is good that you have firm opinions and are not afraid of defending them. But ignoring anyone that is not saying what you want them to say ("you are going to live in happy bliss for the rest of your life") sort of makes this whole thread into a pointless exercise...

The original question was "Is there an easy way to get Moroccan boyfriend to Finland?"

The answer is in short "no, there is no easy way", and if that wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, it won't turn into a "yes" regardless of if you ask it a million times. Its about as productive trying to teach a pig fly, and it irritates the hell out of the pig ;)

:) yeah, there is no easy way, but I wonder what are the different ways of doing that then?

I thought my initial question wasn't should I marry him, it was is it the only way...

I dont know why I bother but here goes.
He cannot become an EU citizen so...
There are three LEGAL ways this guy can come to Finland.
1: As a tourist..3 months visa.
2: By getting accepted onto an advanced education course as a student, visa valid for period of course.
3: By being married to a Finnish citizen.
piste.
People do not become more irritable as they grow old - they simply stop making the effort to avoid annoying others.

Why can't she go and marry him in Morocco and bring him to Finland ? I don't think any country stops its citizens to bring one's spouse legally. You go girl, just get married.

They can, if the spouses haven't known each other for long enough
or they haven't been married long enough. I had to fight tooth and nail
to get my ex back into the States when we came here to visit on our honeymoon. And we had at least known each other for 3 years by then!

Magic word here is "legally". Read the Danish immigration law for example. You have to be 24 before being let to bring in a souvenier, and then if you had a souvenier from morocco, getting another souvenier in is more or less impossible...

yes, it's not really legal to marry someone to get him here and going about proving that you didn't is made pretty problematic.

So, now that I've talked with him he doesn't seem very excited about coming to Finland. But now he says if I want to stay in Morocco we can.
So it's kind of an open matter now. He still wants to marry me...

Go to Morocco, live with him for sometime and then decide. Marriage is a big decision even if your bf was living in Finland.
