Obama just sucks

To the OP. I'm sincerly sorry this happened to you. I know there are many American/Arab marriages that work out wonderfully, then there are the marriages that go south very quickly. I'm sure many won't fess up and tell the forum the things that has happened to them that has been trying on their marriage. Everything was wonderful here when my husband first got here, then once the twins came it was downhill. He's never changed a diaper, gave the kids a bath, etc. Tells me that not what men do in his country! I have my suspisions already so I'm prepared for whatever might come my way. The whole time he's been here he's had many friends that ironically found an american woman and they are all here now with their visas. Few of them have already left their wives too! Even now I wonder how much my husband loves me or if I'm just going to be another statistic.

Thank you nice people for your nice words! I appreciate them.

And about insults: I didn't insult anyone! If someone's looking to pick a fight they'll find it anyway. I just asked if that was true because I never heard something like that. And about Moroccan women I haven't seen any walking a yard behind her man and taking s...t from anybody. I like and respect Moroccan people and I haven't have any problems over there just here with my husband who happens to be from Morocco. Guess I can't say anything anywhere and I apologized from the beginning. Now I know why I left.

I'm not a Moroccan woman to take abuse and follow my man a yard behind him!

*Ahem* Just in case you didn't notice, this implies that you think Moroccan women put up with abuse and follow their men around. If you don't want to be understood, don't generalize.

It's common knowledge in this area that moroccan men can do whatever the hell they want and the wife just best keep her mouth shut! It's a sad situation and I wish there was something I could do to get these women out of these situations. Just sayin.

Just be careful!

Sadly, all the muslims we have met have been a bit on the rude side. My husband won't even go to the mosque here because of it.

5 tats and counting!

Sorry you are going through this. Go with your gut and do what's right.

I hate flying but I love seeing other countries. Figure that out out! My doctor is a dream because he suggested meclinze a few years ago. Great stuff and it's over the counter. I just sleep

We have not moved since my husband arrived early 06, but when he first go here he had a magical idea of moving to Houston because everyone told him there is a large arab population there (who everyone is I am still trying to figure this out) and he would make unlimited amounts of money. I refused to move which did cause a stink for a while but I will not pack up and move to the unknown. Funny how things work out because around the time my husband had his brilliant vision he just happened to start working with an arab that had just moved from Houston area back to Illinois because after being in Texas for a year he realised his dream was not going to come true. I'm still working hard on get my dream to come true so why is it arab men tend to come to the U.S and automatically want to move?

Is your wife wanting to move there or is this a decision you are wanting to make? Sorry for asking, I just know a lot of women that get in the position of moving to another state with their husbands because "the grass is always greener." Maybe these ladies in this situation will speak up?

seems that apple of a child didn't fall far from the tree

For those waiting, from one who's been there, done that:

Yes, the waiting sucks. But eventually, he'll get here, and then he can spend years annoying the cr*p out of you

wurd!

Most, ok all the of egyptian men I've known and seen here have had some period of time where they are on AP. Some where only for a few weeks, others for over a year. There's nothing you can really do about it. Be prepared for your interview, but even that doesn't mean anyone will have a short AP. Good luck to you

all women are psycho.

Poo on you Charles!

Seems psycho wifes are everywhere these days!

Abuse is not ok in any form. Although it may be a cultural thing, you cannot convince me that people that abuse honestly think it's the right thing to do. Men aren't that dumb. Woman for that matter too!

Wow! Wish my boss was this generous. I love hearing stories like this. Not everyone in the world has the "me" attitude.

What's sad is that the inturders family will probably sue and win!

Lifting conditions is all the same regardless if you're from MENA or not. Printed pictures will be fine

Thanks to this thread I just realizd it's Friday the 13th. I'm sure I jinxed myself.

Seriously, I completely understand why you would want to make the trip to Saudi Arabia, but do you know how women are treated there? My husband worked there for 3 years and he was utterly appauled how people, women in particular are treated there. His friends wifes could not even leave the house without having another man with her. Not exactly how I'd want to live.

this thread has taken an interesting turn ..its so funny when an OP does a hit and run.

:off to post a thread called, regarding the previous post regarding the previous post on the flip side:

Did you notice she removed all her information too? Gotcha!

Wow, the topic on this thread sure took a turn. From cheating spouses to Q-Tips. Only on VJ
