Muslim man wanted to marry me as Second Wife

8 years ago

Hello, I have known this Egyptian for 5 years and he married to first wife but is seperated.
He says he wanted married me but that I be his second wife. In Islam , is allowed. I am muslim revert/ convert.
I already given him prenup marriage contract he agree too, but am having hard time dealing the idea he is still married.
I been married twice before to egyptian had had bad expereince and both took all my money and left me with nothing..
I not want to fall back into another trap so that is why I had prenup made and legalize to protect myself and my rights as a wife in Islam.
He never asked for money from me , he even told me if he ever asked for it that I should divorce him.
Anyone has any advise on how I can overcome this issue as being second wife.
In USA, it is not legal to have two wives only one ! My upbringing from catholic family only believes one spouse and culture .
I am age of 50 , i have read quan and hadith that (pbuh) prophet mohamed married his first wife who was 25 his senior and he loved her .
the man , whom want to marry me as his second wife is 8 yrs younger than me.

Can someone give any suggestions to help me deal with this issue. I do love him and known him of 5 years but it is hard .
