Middle East and North Africa	HAPPY WEDNESDAY MENA!!!!!!!!!	QUOTE (Aymsgirl @ Aug 13 2008, 06:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My husband is the same way Bridget. He loves to encourage changing into your house clothes instead of work clothes. It does drive me a little nuts because I think he would wear the work clothes a few days in a row if I let him. All of the laundry I do is my kids. I think they have a problem, one little thing on their clothes and they will change their entire outfit. I have spoiled them with obsessiveness. Also, my husband doesn't wear jeans. I thought that was another strange thing. He says they don't look good. I told him he would look great in jeans. I kept pushing it and it is because in college men were told that it wasn't appropriate for attorneys to be seen in them. Well, here he is not an attorney and I am going to try and get some Levi's on that little butt of his kamal is the same way, he changes clothes as soon as he comes in the door. Of course he works in a factory so i wouldn't want him on my new furniture with his dirty clothes. But when he gets up, he doesn't get dressed til he goes out. He wears the same work clothes for almost a week unless i manage to get him to surrender the clothes for wash. And beleive it or not, he'd rather hand wash his stuff than have me put it in the machine! Thanks everyone for your kind words about my cousin. its still hard to beleive.

Middle East and North Africa	HAPPY WEDNESDAY MENA!!!!!!!!!	Happy Hump day!!! I am a bit late posting today. I woke up to a phone call from my mom about my cousin who never was sick a day in his life. Had surgery a few weeks ago, and never recovered from it. he died last night. Talk about shock. And to look at the man, you would never believe that he was almost 80. So i've been walking around in a fog all day. I layed down this afternoon after taking Kamal to work and feel asleep til just a little while ago. WOW, i don't know whats wrong with me. But thats alot of sleep.	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-08-13 17:27:00
Middle East and North Africa	Family support	I figure its my life-my parents are old, my children have grown, and i really don't have anyone. SO WHAT!! It just erks me at how people can be so judgemental of a person before they even give them a chance and get to know them. If I hadn't gotton married to Kamal, I may have picked another person from here far worse then what my family would want for me. Life is too short!!! I just wish my father and son weren't such azz's.

Middle East and North Africa	Family support	QUOTE (ME~n~HIM @ Aug 13 2008, 08:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Terrie, you are a grown woman and frankly, it isn't any of your family's beeswax what path you choose religiously. *If* you choose to convert, it is between you & Allah (God) and you don't *have* to tell anyone... period! I do, however, hope that this choice is based solely on what your heart is telling you, not in any way b/c of your husband or his beliefs. I have been mulling this thought over for a long time, and still don't know enough. I have a phone number for the islamic center in milwaukee and am gonna call them and see about going up there and talking to someone who can help me to better understand. And no its isn't anyone else's business but my family makes my business theirs. this is something that is better left unsaid.	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-08-13 20:47:00

When i told my parents i was going to Morocco to meet Kamal, they were so against everything about it. And when i came back, I didn't even have to tell them i was engaged. They knew.

And when i told him about kamal and he talked to Kamal online, (they were on cam), he told me he didn't want his wife around my husband ever. That he was a creep. In 10 months, my mom has come around, and tried to make attempts to meet Kamal but kamal refuses to because she should respect my father's wishes. And i just got off the phone with my son, who told me that Kamal and i will end up in divorce, and til i prove him wrong thats the way he beleives. I got so angry i just hung up on him. ####### do family have to be like this. I just want peace in my family. If i have pics to show my parents my father makes racist comments about my husband. That just kills me!!! Any thoughts? i dont have any answers for u i can only add u to my prayers........sometimes people are afraid of muslims im assuming he is muslim because of his country if im wrong im sorry .........but many times people are also afraid of what they dont understand it has nothing to do with being muslim just being from what is called the mid east makes people afraid so until they meet the person is hard for them to come to terms with ur choice in life........as for us son i know it hurts but he has a life so do u.......im not trying to be cold because i have seen my mom have to make this choice about one of my brothers and it is hard, painful, and the worst thing a mother can go thru but in the end who is going to be there to comfort u in as u grow older? ur family? ur husband?.........really i will keep u in my prayers and probably they might come around after he gets here Kamal has been here since october. And the only thing that has changed like i said is my mother has tried meeting him but to no avail, my husband won't have anything to do with it. My husband is muslim and if my family found out that i am thinking of converting they'd have even a bigger fit. But its my choice. Also the fact that he is from another country, they think he is using me for the green card! Or at lleast my dad and son think that way. its a dirty shame that the only one that believes in us is my youngest son. BTW, none of my family (except the youngest) were at my wedding.

Terrie, I'm sorry your family isn't accepting your relationship - but it's YOUR RELATIONSHIP w/ your husband and only you can know the intricacies of it. I hope that things will smooth over and they can grow to accept Kamal. I've been very blessed in that my family has accepted my husband from the beginning and welcomed him w/ open arms into our family. I pray that one day you will also experience this. Thanks noura, that means alot. My father is very racist and will never ever accept kamal. And my son, well i never thought of him as racist, but i do now.	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-08-13 20:41:00

Middle East and North Africa	MONDAY!	Julianna, boy how scary that must have been for you. But good for your hubby that you were a fast thinking wife. I think i would have been in a panic. Well just got back from cousin's memorial service. Isn't it sad that the only time you see others that you haven't seen in years are usually at funerals. Blah, i hate that. It was a very nice service, and one thing i learned is that he used to volunteer for the Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee, and apparently, they put his name and say we will miss you on a huge bill board so everyone that goes by it can see it!!! How cool is that!!	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-08-18 20:56:00

Your furniture story makes me laugh though...it reminds me when my DH and I got new furniture after a year of marriage.. It was somewhat modern and I asked my mother what furniture style we had before, which was an eclectic mix. She said out of nowhere..."Early Marriage".
