Ownership

[Marry American 0]

My fiance and me. Or my fiance and I . . .

That is how I will refer to him. Maybe even my man. But for sure, I will not say my Moroccan. To me the signals a sense of ownersip. How can one this day and age own another human being? I have been reading several messages and though not commenting, I have enjoyed them all. You guys seem to have some real online friendships going on.

My moroccan is just like saying my chinese girl, my Jamaican, my Russian, My African, my American. Is it just me or do these terms not sound right to others?

I agree with you and have often wondered why people refer to their spouses that way. They may not mean it but it sure sounds bad. Now where is my Jordanian, lol.

Hi guys, haven't posted in a while. Seems like when your husband finally gets to America there are a lot of adjustments to make, not including what you already had before he got here.

I agree, but just to add a little touch to this, my husband is a Jordanian and proud of it. He comes from a very peaceful country with a great Monarch on top of it all. He actually beams when I call him my Jordanian, makes him feel like he's King of Jordan. The Middle Eastern's are proud of who they are and they consider themselves, just that. They love their homeland and love being reminded who they are. True, it does sound like we are labeling, but in actuallity, they love it. When I tell my husband, I love my Jordanian man, he smiles and his eyes light up. It's a recognition thing, I think. For so many years, they have felt down-graded I guess. They also love to be called Arab too, they are proud of it!

How is everyone on this board? My husband works nights now and I have time to hang out. Whew Hew!

Well some people feel they have ownership over their SOs... and maybe some other refer to their SO in this way in a form of expressing their love. But if a couple were do this public, to the point of shame then of course that is wrong.

I know alot of women married to moroccans who refer to their husbands as their moroccan - and I know its not because of ownership - its because moroccans just have such special personalities that it is fun to refer to them as their moroccan vs. their husband because the moroccan bit distinguishes them!!!

I know a woman when frustrated with her stubborn husband will email me and say can you believe what my moroccan or my moroccan husband did today - and its because she equates his stubbornness to a moroccanism....

I must not be paying attention because I haven't seen anyone write "my Moroccan".

I call my fiance "my Brazilian" sometimes. More often I call him "my ruivo" (Portuguese for redhead) or "my Paulista" (name for someone from São Paulo state). When I say it I mean it as a joke because it totally sounds like he's my pet. He calls me his gringa.

Very good. I would hate to be referred to by my fiance as his black girl or his African American. I have a name and do not need to be reminded of where I am from.

I had a wonderful time with my fiance. He spoils me. I do not have to lift a finger for a change. It is so much fun just being catered too. I will want him to cook and clean for me here all the time. I do not think It will happen, lol. Thanks for asking.
