Middle East and North Africa	Monday	I haven't been since March of 2008. We plan to go back the end of May 2010. Hubby has been here for 9 months already...I can hardly believe that and I don't know how we are going to save the kind of money we need to go there and for him to stay additional time once I go back home. Worse comes to worst, he will have to go alone	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-17 15:35:00

Middle East and North Africa	Monday	Morning Peeps, Hope you had a restful weekend. Maureen, you sound more and more like me. I haven't gone camping in oh, probably, 5 years. I just love camping. I have a huge tent too but due to my husband's schedule we can't go on any weekend excursions and he certainly won't let me go without him. It was an exceptionally hot and humid weekend. I was so happy to get to the pool yesterday. I still have way too much school shopping to do, but thank god I made a dent in it. Monday....yuck....already thinking about the end this week and having off on Labor Day, Monday!!	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-17 09:01:00

Middle East and North Africa	My country this, my country that!	QUOTE (Turia @ Aug 18 2009, 01:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Nawal @ Aug 18 2009, 12:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> {{Terrie}} When in Egypt and Jordan I would always make remarks like...."well, in the US we can....or we have...." I used to make fun of the fact that fast food delivered to homes WTH??!?? I would talk about their plumbing, AC, refrigeration, transportation, etc.... Not on small trips but on trips I spent an extended amount of time i.e.: summer, etc and it drove my cousins and my hubby crazy. So now when my husband has said things like that, I pretty much agree w/ him on what he misses and then we start talking about "imagine not having...." etc. It's really not much of an issue now. Last time we talked about it he said I have nothing to go back to except to visit family. My life and family are here now and thats the truth. That does not mean he doesn't want to go back and visit or for us to have a home there one day but not without our entire family. I think you are all missing the whole premises of this post (and maybe thats my fault). My beef is not that its my country this and that but, I have to pay for ramadan cause i am under doctor's care and am not allowed to fast. So I bought up the subject with hubby and he wants me to always send the money to Morocco. I want to keep the money here. There are plenty of people here in need as I am sure of people in Morocco too. But I live here, not in Morocco. He is always worried about Morocco. I told him all he is obligated to worry about is his family there. This has been a real struggle to me. I have never yelled about sending money to morocco but this time am putting my foot down! I also think that he wants to be like his brother (whom has money) also. He wants to be able to give to whoever and whenever. Terry I understand you. My husband also feels obligated to send money home also to his mom and brother, however, we are not really in the best position ourselves...just making ends meet and trying to save for our trip back to Morocco next year. His 2 other brothers and sister are extremely well off, I say, let them deal with it. I know I am in for it when we go back there too because, as others have mentioned, the need to "show" how well you are over here in the states, everyone with their hand out and just assuming cuz we live here we don't have it bad. If we had the money, I would give it. I agree, you should be able to choose where you want to give your donation and there are plenty here who need it.	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-18 13:42:00

Middle East and North Africa	Tuesday	QUOTE (prince+angel @ Aug 18 2009, 03:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Ihavequestions - you did make me laugh I needed that! I guess what I mean is when it comes to “motivation”, I’m taking a look at the entire picture - all you do & don’t do. After being here for nearly 2 mos, I expect my partner to be able to take a look around, assess his environment & say (even if its to himself) where can I help? Granted I’ve done it all on my own before we met & married, however, we discussed this til we were both blue in the face. Household: If you don’t have clean undies - wash a load If its 95 degrees, you know I worked in 2 different counties, drove nearly 100 miles in 1 day - can you initiate making dinner, I don’t care if its crappy grilled cheese - at least you tried instead of waiting for me to do it when I get home. You take showers - would it kill you to clean out the tub....ONCE? Your home all day - introduce yourself to the swiffer wet jet Do I honestly have to tell you to take the garbage out - u see its overflowing ... By all means, I’m not saying take over but help out a little. I appreciate more that he at least try and not get it right vs. not doing anything at all. Employment: I truly think he thinks a job will fall outta the sky & into his lap. Ok there’s not much you can do with out the EAD & its coming. However, instead of spending 12 -14 hours in bed a day & still wanting to relax when you do get up - do something. I feel I’ve truly done all I can do short of taking to employers for him about possible employment options. He does have some goals such as wanting to apply for his CDL license in hopes of getting a driving position ...but I don’t see any effort to realize that goals either. So I guess I’m feeling frustrated with how some of things are going or not going. Thanks for listening ... Angel...I hear ya! Hubby been here 9 months now and like the first month I would come home to a straightened apt and dishes all done and put away....now that he works....fogeddaboudit It all falls on me and you know what? I went on strike. I do household tasks when I feel like it. I make dinner IF I feel like it. We put in the same amount of time working and you can go way back to my post, months ago about the dinner situation and having to actually get up of bed just to warm it up for him....I don't do it anymore. You can win me with honey, not vinegar. I just want to say what man do you know that actually looks around and says "what can I do to help?" I know there are a few but the rest of us, just have another child to pick up after.	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-18 14:41:00
Middle East and North Africa	Tuesday	QUOTE (a1angied @ Aug 18 2009, 01:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I am having a great day Boss called this morning and said work from home till the afternoon and just do the deposits. oh yeah answer the phone and do the deposits it is a great day. Think I will make hubby enchiladas today. I went to buy some pants and the 2nd hand store since my pants and shorts are falling off me and I took some 14 and 12 in the dressing room, I wanted to see how much I had to go to fit in the 12 and they fit, snug but great.I was so excited. since it has been about 10 years since I have worn a 12. My husband said good but only buy a few cos I am only 2 1/2 months since surgery and I have went from 18-20 to now a 12. This Saturday I wore a size large dress and looked great and felt like a million bucks. Nagi Angie that is wonderful Keep up the good work. My hubby is tickled to death....he has lost about 15 lbs in 2 1/2 months, granted he is working extremely hard. He looks better than ever and has gone down 2 pant sizes!

Middle East and North Africa	Tuesday	QUOTE (Amanda_Raad @ Aug 18 2009, 09:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Maureen. I went to the local Child Support Enforcement Agency a couple of weeks ago, paid them a fee and they were supposed to take my case from the court (they told me the court doesn't enforce the order, but they will). They were supposed to mail my ex a statement saying that he owes $$$ and that if he doesn't pay it by a certain date that they would take him to court. I thought for sure my ex would go up in flames once he heard from the CSE Agency screaming at me "why did you do that?" but I guess they haven't contacted him yet because he hasn't said anything. I tried calling the agency but I can't get anyone on the phone and they haven't returned my calls. I am getting frustrated because meanwhile, he just moved to a new apartment this past weekend. I let him see our daughter usually when he wants so I dropped her off this morning at the new place. Super nice, sure its 3 bedrooms (he lives with his sister & brother). They moved from a 2 bedroom to a 3. He told me the other day that he was moving just wasn't sure when because he had their old apartment paid until the end of August....yet he can pay deposit and first month's rent at a new place but can't pay a smidge of what he owes in child support? When I filed the case with the agency he owed 3 months worth, now we are in August and it makes 4...another month and he will owe me close to $2000...I could really use that right now until my husband finds a job. I feel like I'm loosing it....finally get the love of my life here with me and then all this #######. Not to even mention the discrimination issue that happened at work a week before hubby got here... Congrats on your quitting GG...I know that is not easy Soon you will be flying into the blue Amanda I'm surprised, I tell ya, over here if you get behind they let it slide up to 500.00. Once you hit 500.00 and you don't pay you are going to get your tax refund zapped of whatever you owe, even if it leaves you with NO return. Also for those men or (some women) who are say...over a few thousand dollars the put huge layout in our local paper for deadbeats...you won't believe how much some owe!!! Also, once you get a job or your SS # is registered, it won't be long before they wage attach you, it is only a matter of a month or two before domestic relations catches on.

Middle East and North Africa	Thursday!!	I cannot believe Ramadan is so near now. I haven't really prepared yet and hubby isn't really pressuring for anything specific or things done any differently than before. I would like to try some receipes and nice little accompaniments to our meals. Sara...just love the new pix of Amirah. We have been indulging in alot of ice cream this summer One thing hubby and I share a love for. Nagi, I haven't really found any "arab" markets yet...still on the search for them Sinad...enjoy your time with the babe, the older they get you think it gets easier, it does not, another whole realm of tasks and supervision. I did say before that for some reason hubby doesn't trust or really want to meet any Arabs here. He doesn't have much good to say about the ones back home either. Sometimes I see some excitement when he notices someone speaking Arabic or he finds someone Moroccan he can relate too but befriending them....not interested. Well still got some time to put in here....I can't wait to be done My kids start Sept 8th....starting this week seems really premature but then again I think the kids have too much time off in the summer anyway. Turns their minds to mush.	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-20 13:28:00

How are you managing with all the children? Hubby helping out at home? Amanda....I love the new pictures. I wish I could get my pix on here. Your daughter's skin color is dark and she looks as if she is could be Raad's. I hope you don't mind me saying so. She is stunning. Nagi, girlfriend, you are always in my prayers. Well I DECIDED to cook last night. Made last night's dinner and tonight's. I was smoldering in the apt. but mission accomplished with a nice cake to boot. Hubby was happy Speaking of vacations...the last I had was back in November, when hubby came. It was a mere 4 works days off. I had taken 1 personal day too, I guess back in July. Whopdeedo! I am trying to be really good so that when I ask for 2 weeks next May, he will give it. I do have Monday, Labor Day coming...for sure we will hit the beach, probably for the last time Enjoy your day....it's HUMP DAY!	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-19 09:16:00
Middle East and North Africa	Friday - 8/21/09	Morning I will also be getting us dates this weekend. I can get some good ones in the city, probably tonight. I am not Muslim and I am seriously on the horse about fasting this year. I know since it is hubby's first time observing Ramadan here, I think it will be alot harder for him since most people around and out in the streets are not fasting, drinking and smoking and stores/restaurants and bars are not closed down during the day till Iftar....I would say it is going to be alot different for him. Temptation will be everywhere. Not to say he will break his fast but just that everything, as usual here in the USA, will be in his face. Hubby requested Sunday off so we are looking forward to that and spending the day at the pool. I am hoping it doesn't rain this weekend, I do see it in the forecast I hope today goes fast	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-08-21 09:40:00

Through all of this crazy ####### he still says let's just go to live in Egypt. You will love it and this and that. Excuse me, nopers, it would just be the same situation reversed around on me. I often remind him, you made the decision to come here not me. He'd move us in a heartbeat if I said let's go. I can't do it with my two other kids and just uproot them and move to a foreign place where they do not know the language or the culture. That is something I refuse to do when they are only 9 and 11. Plus they have a father and his family here that adore them. I wouldn't do it...no way. Believe me sister, I have put up a big fight with him. Brought him down to his knees in tears at times. I told him don't you resent me for your choices you made. I'm not some kind of door mat that you can walk all over and I don't sit here with my mouth shut and I am very independent and get over it, accept it or move on mister. Life is getting better though....not like it was in years before but slowly getting there. Yeah, Cheematah...he was just blowing smoke out his butt. It was just something that was a tic for a tat at the time. It made me crazy mad though. He never said it directly to me that it was my fault but I knew it was meant as a blow to me. Plus it was all in aggravation at nothing going his way at the time. I probably shouldn't say it but a lot of these guys are like this from ladies I talk to married to them. When things don't go their way they really do act like spoiled baby brats. Again, he's not a bad guy but had some serious problems adjusting after his trip. The year prior to things were awesome...it's when he went home and came back. Plus you know, mama has something to do with it when she calls and busts his ego down. When things don't go their way? Nope, it's all of the time. There's the "it's the woman's fault" mentality and it's got to be hard to get out of that mode and accept some personal responsibility when nobody's ever made them do that before. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to "In Egypt (insert some code of life that should apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter what their nationality or background is, that makes it a divine law)", which really means "In Egypt (this is the way it is because it's the only thing I've ever known so we're going to do it my way because my life has always centered around making me happy so you'd better get on the boat and do it, too)." We've had some knock down, drag out brawls and they have always centered around trying to make him understand he is NOT the most important person in the world. Have I made him cry? Yep. Would I do it again? Well, I can't control how he reacts but I surely can control not wanting to be walked all over and/or treated poorly. I have the right to maintain my integrity and dignity and if he doesn't like it, hey, talaq is easy. I will tell you this, though, for as bad as it's been, every single bit of whatever he's doled out that I haven't sat back and taken, has actually made this a much stronger relationship. It's gone from his initial belief that I was a stereotype western woman (thanks to his "friends") and the idea that marriage, in general, is a male dominated relationship, to me being "a good woman" and "a good wife." Stand your ground and don't be ashamed to do it. BTW, he got the message so loud and clear he's distanced himself from those "friends," so something must have gotten through to him. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!! I also want to reinterate that the way we see our men on their soil may change greatly once they get here. We may not see them working, stressing about money, becoming a step parent, dealing with how we live our lives here, which may seem "wrong" to them when in reality is quite normal and respectable. There are too many factors to be considered and I even thought it was just going to be happily ever after. I am so happy for those of you have a blissful marriage, a very soft spoken, fair and rational man. But I know that for some of us that is not the case. I am glad this was brought up because our men have a different thinking than we do and sometimes you can take the man out of MENA but not the MENA out of the man. I just hope for those of us who have major adjustment issues have the chance to see it really blossom. Edited by Sandrila, 20 July 2009 - 03:37 PM.	Sandrila	Female	Morocco	2009-07-20 15:37:00

Adjustment is just that because we haven't had time to be together substantially before living together here so at times it can be very maddening to be with a man who thinks he is always right and arguing is futile.

He will be there about 4 weeks. I am so thankful that your hubby came is realizing some of these things Amal. I am kind of scared how our situation will turn out because it has taken my husband until now to get out of the depression he sunk into after going back home again. His situation is much different than a lot of men here though. I pray the next time he comes back better and maybe can share a few of the things like your husband did. My husband came home thinking that Egypt rocked and America was just a land of sin! America is the land of sin compared to Egypt...... Think about it we have stuff like (what goes on in Vages stays in Vages. On TV videos of girls gone wild. And really how many girls are virgins when they get married? I think the morels in this country went to Hell. That is what I loved about Egypt it is like the 1950's America. When people here still had morrels. And my husband notices all the races people here. The girls walking around half dressed. And how rude people are to each other. Dont get me wrong I love being American but sure wish alot of things could change. i think you and 'ihavequestions', and some of the other women who have lived in egypt for an extended period of time need to have a conversation... America is the land of sin compared to EGYPT? Sure! Let's talk! Those television shows? Yep, they got 'em here, too. American, European, sin, sin, sin. It's all here. It's called SATELLITE TELEVISION. Not only that, but the Egyptian television shows that are shown on local cable television are quite an eye-opener. The previews almost always include a man batting a woman around. Speaking of, the neighbor gave his wife a good thumping last night. She screamed and cried and wailed but that didn't stop him from wailing on her for HOURS. At least in America, the land of SIN, the neighbors would have called the police instead of hanging their heads out of their windows to hear every bit of it. Virgins? Are you serious? Maybe in Upper Egypt, or out in the country, but in the bigger cities, Alexandria or Cairo, that's so not the case. Do you have any idea what the abortion rate is in Egypt? What an "orphan" really is? How many girls are giving their boyfriends oral and ####### sex in lieu of "going all the way"? And, since we're talking, "the surgery" (read: hymen reconstruction surgery) is ever popular, both in the cities and in the countryside. For 200 LE a girl can be a virgin as many times as she wants to. Do you have any idea what the divorce rate is here? Something like 30% of all marriages don't last a year. After three years, that figure is almost 50%. Women don't have to (publicly) protect their virginity once they're divorced? Every single married Egyptian woman I've met has a boyfriend on the side. Every single one. At least in America, in the land of SIN, married women don't have to worry about a desperate girl chasing their husbands because "he can have four!". Gambling. Prostitution. Drugs - ohmygod hash is everywhere and people are extremely open about their hash use. Adultery. Murders. Robberies. It's aaaaaall here. Every single SIN America has is right here, iin Egypt. They just do it IN THE DARK. Why do you think Egyptians are such notorious liars? They have to because that's what they have to do to do what they want to do. Egypt has two very different sides: the innocent, pious side and the deep, dark filthy side. Don't be fooled by what you see in the daylight because it all changes when the sun goes down. You wrapped it up very nicely and although my husband isn't from Egypt he tells me the same thing that you stated, it's there only IT'S IN THE DARK. My husband really has become indifferent toward his own people and people in the Middle East. It seems strange but I guess he sees right thru the hipocrisy. We don't discuss it much but I know his life here is way better than there and even though there are things he misses about his country or city specifically I don't think he would want to have to live there again on a permanent basis.
