This weekend has been full of turmoil in MENA. Cases of fraud were continuously discussed. I think we are all aware of it being a possibility, even though we believe in our love and current situation with our SO. It has also been discussed how different Arab men are from American women. And lots of stereotypes were thrown around. Some people agreed, some people didn't.

On the bright side of things-include your warm fuzzies about your SO. Especially if you have been married for a period of time. What has your positive experience been like? Or drop a warm fuzzy any given day about your SO!

has your husband ever played tennis before?? I love the game of tennis and was beaten by my husband who never played before...lol

My husband gave me these roses a week ago. They were so beautiful and smelled very nice. I want to scrapbook them some of kind of way. That is the reason I placed them in a plastic bag, he he

The best way I have found to preserve roses is to string a piece of thread thru the stem and let them dry out in the air. They will be fragile, but craft stores have a liqiid ceramic substance that will actually not change the rose in color, but will make it stronger and it should last a lifetime. I also have a rose that was set in acrylic and I use it as a paper weight, Just an idea.

I have warm fuzzies about my husband because we are expecting a baby girl and he loves to look at the tiny little pink outfits and dresses we have already. I cant wait to see him as a daddy, it makes me feel like I'm gonna cry just thinking about it!

I think the fuzziest or "mushy" memory I have is waking up to find my husband looking at me and telling me he was watching me sleep, because he wants this memory to think about after I have come back to US.

nope...but he beat me at first while i was warming up...i had not played in a while...but then i killed him



thank you...do they have it at Michael's?



aw too sweet...thanks for participating...we need more positive stories



thanks for participating...i hope this can be a positive thread for all good things

I am looking at my sweetheart right now as he sleeps. We have had a tough couple of days, but he never faltered or wavered or stopped loving me. I am appalled at the way I behaved and he has forgiven me and told me that he will be with me as long as he lives. Over pizza, we were laughing and talking about some of the things posted here on VJ and he was really saddened. He said honey, a man that will not support his children is worse than an infidel. I cannot imagine having to start a website to get donations to help feed or provide for any future children. It is truly sad and shocking and that just goes to show, before you reproduce with a man make sure you know what you are dealing with because there is no going back on another human being,but a bad marriage we can almost certainly walk away from.


Thanks for the topic I adore you! It is like a breath of fresh air

I have many but the one i like to share is my husband has been the same thoughtful, caring, honest and loving person I met 4 years ago. I love growing old with him he gets more handsome every year.

My warm fuzzy for Mohammed happened last week. I had surgery on Thursday, he stayed up talking to me until about 5 am his time because I was too nervous to sleep. He then got up at 8 his time to talk to me again as I was leaving and he was crying...trying not to let me see but crying. Then after I came out of surgery and my friend called him to tell him I was ok, he actually made her cry because all she could get out of him was crying and thank you God. We've been together 3 yrs, but the depth of his feelings and his ability to express them never fail to make me all warm and fuzzy!!!

She's right. You might want to get them out of the bag ASAP because they could mold. Air drying them is much better. I've dried flowers before and I used to put them in a storage warm that did not have A/C in it. To perserve the bloom, it's best if you can hang them upside down.

Great idea for a thread...

I've got so many but these are a couple of my favorites:

A few years ago I had to have a pretty serious operation that left me very weak. It was hard for me to get up and down out of a chair. I will never forget Hicham making a lovely bubble bath for me and washing my back. And just being so tender in helping me dry off and get dressed.

The other is that when Hicham talks about how proud he is of our son and how healthy and smart he is, he tells me how proud of me he is for raising our son. I feel like that is the highest compliment he can give.

Great thread!! The memory that comes to mind - he used to sing to me on the phone the song you are not alone - - - is anywho...when I was in Egypt I was filming him w/my digital camera and he started singing that song and said some very loving things to me...it is so nice to have now since we are apart again and will be until he has his VISA...so that is my moment...for now..I am sure I will have more....

My husband called me tonight from Morocco just to tell me how much he loved me. I'm usually the one that calls him as his funds are limited at the moment. Little things like this mean a lot.

My husband has been really frustrated starting his business and we've had our moments. Last week, he came into the city to take care of some business and was rushing to meet me at work by 5p so we could have dinner together. He walked up to my desk with a red rose and placed it in front of me. It really meant alot and was a sweet thought.

The adjustment is no easy road by any means, but its great when you have the support of your good friends and the love of your SO to get you through it!

Thanks I adore you for this post

Everyday is special, we get to talk twice on weekends and just sitting here reading makes me think i sure wish i was back over there

I love it when I am thinking of my husband and out of the blue, the phone rings and it's him!

My SO always tells me that I am beautiful. The first time he told me, I said "I'm glad love is blind"....his reply...."My love has eyes".

you are very welcome...i felt it necessary...thanks for your story

ooops....i was going to take them out and now the smell is horrible.....i placed them in the bag just this morning...they started turning gold...i think i will just have to throw them away now...

guys good....thanks for posting...these stories are great...you hear some bad things and these stories are just wonderful

There has been many special moments that my husband has said or done something for me but there is one that sticks in my mind and that is when I was leaving Kuwait to come back to the U.S.A to start this visa process and we were in the airport and it was time for me to catch my flight and reality kicked in that I wasn't going to see Hassan for awhile and I started crying and he held me close and he looked into in my eyes and he said "I will kiss every tear from your eyes." I will never forget how I felt when he said that to me, it made our love grow even stronger than it already was. After he said that it made me start crying even more so with him trying to make me stop crying it actually made me cry even worse I keep dreaming of the day we will be reunited again.

Just thinking about my husband makes me all warm and fuzzy

That's sweet.

My husband watches me sleep sometimes but I get a little freaked out to open my eyes and find him staring at me. Yesterday I fell asleep on the couch but woke up when I heard his camera (on his cell) flash. He was taking photos of me sleeping! Freak!!!!

Hicham says he has watched me sleep many times too...

Is this some kind of MENA thing????

And today being Monday morning he just called to hear my voice even if it was very short time to talk makes my day for sure...

I'm usually the one doing the watching...but I do it when he's awake and he told me he misses it.

He apparently did the same thing, the morning after he proposed he woke me up by tracing my fingers with his, starting with my ring finger

We used to play songs for each other on the phone when we were in high school...you know...back when calling him didn't cost a cent because he lived 6 miles up the road!!!

When he picked me up at the airport we were both wearing each other's favorite shirts from when we were in high school and he had like a dozen roses and a stuffed animal...

There are soooooo many things but if I keep writing I might just turn into a pile of mush.

Honestly I can't think of any in particular because everything that my fiance does is a warm fuzzy to be! He just knows all the time what to do to make me happy and put a smile on my face. I honestly can say that he truly is a god sent and i would do this all over again just to be with him. He is the most understand, considerate, romantic, loving, caring, and special man i have ever met in my life. I need to stop i am starying to really feel warm, and fuzzy ! I am truly blessed and i can't wait to be his wife!

I've known my husband for over 4 years now and he is exactly the same man I fell in love with. He joined me here on a K-1 in 2005 and we have now been married over two years. I still can't wait to see him come home and give me his warm hugs and kisses. I love when he calls me at work to just say hello and that he loves me. We work every day on our marriage because we want it to work. He says many endearing things but one that stands out is when we were discussing him going to see a friend by himself for a few days, he told me to look at his feet and then look at mine, he said our feet walk together always. So far, that's right. Looking forward to getting off work and going home later today, not only because work is over but mostly because my husband is with me. Good luck to everyone. Adjustment is hard on both people and as a couple but well worth talking and working things out. Feeling warm and fuzzy is a blessing.

I am loving all of these stories and another just jumped out at me..in Egypt we used to always listen to I love a rainy night but Eddie Rabbit, that's right brings ya back don't it...anywho...we just loved to sing at the top of our lungs to this song and when we were getting about my having to leave soon, he would put this song on....and we would laugh and sing and dance...and after I came back to the U.S. he has called me several times and had this song so I could hear it..so sweet....and he will tell me that he imagines me in the car w/him singing and dancing to this song..so sweet;)

I had a dentist appoinment today. Two fillings that fractured had to be removed and replaced. My husbands calls me and ask if I could come to his job and pick up a gift he purchased for me during his lunch break. I go. He gives me a beautiful pair of gold earrings and three gold rings combined. That was very thoughtful.

Keep your warm fuzzies coming.

I swore I wouldn't come back here, but someone told me about the drama and I had to come check it out. This thread is great!

Abdel and I have been married about a year and a half now, and every day is still special. If I had to pick any particular moment that meant the most to me I think it would have been the night when we were going through some pretty tough times - his job is physically very hard, and he was really homesick - , and he came to bed really mad after talking to his brother online. When I asked him what he was so mad about he told me that his brother had told him that he didn't have to put up with this too much longer since he only had to stay married to me for 2 years and then he could leave me. He held me really tight and told me that his brother just doesn't understand life here in the US since he's never been here. He still barely talks to that brother any more, and when he sends money home he never sends any for him.

That meant a lot to me because I had no idea what they had been saying and he didn't have to tell me. The fact that he told me, and that his brother even saying that had upset him so much, really drove home how much he loves me.

I think the second most warm and fuzzy thing is that he still kisses me goodbye when I drop him off at work every morning - in front of all the other guys going into the gate, and in front of the security guards who have already teased him about it. He also always watches for me to show up on Friday nights when he's playing soccer in the park and at the first break he gets he comes up and kisses me in front of all the guys.

Oh yeah, he also picks up my dogs poop every night when we walk her. He says that is one big sign of love.

Good to see you back again!

welcome back! hope you stay for a while!

I love how after your husband spoke to his brother he held you tight and instead of telling you he loves you or that he will be with you forever, he explained that his brother is not familiar with the US. Nice.

Oh dear, does she ever quit?

such a warm welcome back you give to people

Just because werewolves are warm and fuzzy doesn't mean they're appropriate for the warm & fuzzy topic.


One of the last nights my fiance was here, we were sitting in my driveway and he found a plastic ring from a soda bottle. He put it on my finger and told me we were married!

Six years later, I still have it.

My husband is just awesome! I love the way he still makes me feel like a teenager and how he would do anything I asked him. I love the way he will just stop me in the middle of the mall, on our long walks....pretty much anywhere and tell me how much he loves me.

This thread is great!

I hope six years from now I am able to say the same thing.

How many of our men ARE warm and fuzzy? Or just fuzzy?

Mine is warm AND fuzzy (with extra fuzzy).

LOL! I won't let my hubby get too fuzzy

I try but he just won't let me shave the chest hair.

My hubby is HOT and fuzzy (extra fuzzy on his chest!!!)

Hot and not fuzzy, just the way I like it

My hubby is warm and fuzzy. With just the right xtra fuzzy.

This is a refreshing topic!
WB honey!!
mine is a main course of fuzzy with a side dish of hot... love it love it love it!
There are plenty of moments when the hubster does sweet things for me. My last night in Jordan I had one of the most severe migraines I had ever experienced. I tried my best to smile through the pain but I ended up getting sick and having to lay down. Instead of being with our friends, he came to the bedroom with me, layed down beside me, put my head on his chest, wrapped his arms around me, and told me it would be ok. He said to me "I wish I can fix you". That was so sweet of him.
When I ended up in the hospital with kidney failure and blood infections he was beside himself...he didn't know what to do so he called my girlfriend and had her send roses and a stuffed animal to the hospital for me.
ohhhhhh so many things... but I'll keep it at just a couple per post

awesome thread to read about everyone Sweet Moments!!! haha about the warm and fuzzy part...
i always joke with adam that when he gets here i will take him to get his chest waxed... haha i know it will never happen but its funny to joke about with him... my hubby is VERY HOT, and some fuzzys

every moment spent with adam makes me feel loved, adored and special... im so excited to get to spend my life with him...
I remember not long after we first started talking... i went into the hospital with a blood clot in my leg (due to medicine & blood issue) and had to have surgery... i never liked hospitals, blood pressure checks or IVs... i was getting a needle in me for the IV and my blood pressure taken... my blood pressure zoomed up thru the roof and the nurse said she would come back in a minute to let me calm down ... then Adam called and my aunt handed me the phone in the hospital bed so i could talk to him for a moment... his sweet voice calmed my nerves... then the nurse came back to take my blood pressure again and it was perfect 120/80... the nurse was shocked... and my aunt smiled to her and said That was HER MAN on the phone... I LOVE HIM SO MUCH !!!
