If anything I've typed is out of line, then please let me know via PM and I will prevent that type of language from being used. I have taken care not to type anything that violates the TOS, but if I have, please let me know. I'm new to the MENA section, so I don't know the written and unwritten rules here.

I'm just asking for people to be a little bit more respectful - on all sides.

Looking at the new Ross & Simons catalog is always nice too in addition to donut needing threads.

Me too and I don't think what he said was completely wrong either. Suspicion can ruin a marriage and drive a person crazy.

It's also not bad advice to take it easy and relax.....

Well honey just give it right back to him that you're not going to live like that! Stand up for yourself and say, "This is my house, I am an American, things are different here, I get to do and say what I want pretty much and I'm not going to have my freedoms impeded on, I'm going to share my life with you and that doesn't mean you get control what I do or what I say because I can't live like that."

You most certainly did in the first place. But as we've learned it's not uncommon for mena males and females not to take responsibility for anything they did.

I see, me observing that some people were looking for trouble when there wasn't any was egg slinging.

Why am I not surprised by your comment about MENA people and your attitude?

I'll let you think about that one yourself.

I was born, raised, educated, and continue to live in the U.S. My household was more American and Christian influenced than Iranian and Muslim influenced because my parents moved here as teenagers. If anything, my behavior is more indicative of my American upbringing than my Iranian heritage. Imagine that. I'm just as American as you are, sister, but without the arrogance.

First , you are very arrogant yourself. Second, stop insulting the people of this country and our personalities. I have met tons of Iranians here and they suffer from many of the same things Americans that are native to this country suffer from. Materialism, greed, cultural differences between parents and kids etc.

Sunni Islam and its practicioners practice a very very different islam from Shia ( Iranians) Your religion allows muta, marriage for one hour or one day or one week. The culture can be very different from some of our mena husbands( Iranian culture) I will tell you right now, You being being Iranian doesn't mean a damn thing to me as far as credibility or me listening to you or you telling me "how mena culture is or isnt" You are not even from the same ethnicity or religion or lifestyle as my husband . How you could come on here proclaiming any kind of expertise in MENA or arabs is beyond me because Farsi has no relationship with arabic and sunni islam has ABSOLUTELY no similarity with Shia in lifestyle, marriage or practice. If someone in Iran wants to marry, they can marry for 2 weeks and its completely ok.

Sunnis are alot more restricted in their lifestyle. If I was married to someone who could marry a hooker 3 blocks away, not tell me about it and then divorce her and then get another and then marry again and again all LEGALLY IN shia islam, I sure wouldnt worry about infidelity.

( this is ABSOLUTELY NOT A DIG TO THE SISTERS MARRIED TO IRANIANS HERE>.. Its to make a point to this nitwit. You dont see any of the women married to Iranians trying to tell me about the lifestyle or culture of my husband because they know there are huge differences..... Iranian men can muta and legally and easily. Sunni men are bound by a heck of alot of laws that makes swapping out chicks pretty easy and legally.

I just find you to be on here to show everyone YOUR ARROGANCE,,, not to provide support and care for the rest of us..

And frankly I need it from my friends here..

The prophet sal allahu alayhi wa salaam allowed muta marriages in his lifetime and it was only after his death that it was disallowed by the sahaba so I don't appreciate you taking a dig at this practice. I may not believe it's allowed today but I also don't go around bashing practices that the prophet sal allahu alayhi wa salaam himself allowed. Also, when a sunni man marries a woman, he's under no obligation to remain married to her for any amount of time and is free to divorce and remarry as many times as he pleases in his lifetime. As long as the contract doesn't state that it's for a temporary time then he's done nothing wrong.

Furthermore, shi'ism is a religion and one that other muslims on this board (not just Iranians) practice, whether you, I or others agree with it or not and in the same way that it's distasteful, disrespectful and rude to post links to faithfreedom.org or other hateful sites that attack Islam and muslims or to post attacks against other religious groups, this post is no different.

Regarding the statement of not telling your friends about the intimate details of your relationship, fights, etc. Thats not an uncommon outlook on marriage in MENA. It's the first piece of advice that was given to me by many, including the priest who married us. What happens at home ,stays at home.

Great advice! I concur!

But sometimes you just need to vent or ask for advice, no?
