You know you're in a MENA relationship when....

[Donna A 4]

when u sit on the toilet seat and its wet.

[notime4haterz 0]

When your husband claims he only wants to take a second wife so she can do all the cooking and cleaning and give you a break...

When tea becomes the new coffee in your life...

When YOU, the US born spouse, start talking with in accent so that he and his family can understand you better! LOOOOOL

He didn't really go there did he?

LOL He always goes there...but he's just teasing. Not serious.

When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and feel naked without slippers on in the tile bathroom

Lemon finds its way into your daily meals

You forget that not everybody has a flower watering can behind their toilet

Pita bread replaces regular bread in your household

You get excited every time you see something written in arabic

You start saying things like assalamo alaykom, alhamdulillah, and ensha'allah----and you haven't converted to Islam

You've started considering moving to Houston or another largely arabic populated area because the "life is so much better there"

One of your new favorite music artists is hisham abbas, amr diab, or fairouz

You find yourself using 2, 3, 6, and 7 to replace english letters in english wordswhen you read words with apostrophes, you try to make that phlegm noise "ehhhhhghhh"

ohh so many ..sooo many more lol and I wouldn't change it for the world

when you tell him he is full of it.......and 5 minutes later he asks full of what?

when he tells you he has the worst cold he never had

when he tells you yes he knows about using a slow cooker, you just turn down the fire

when he tells you, but i trusted the translator to do good, when you are about to send the papers to nvc and you find a error he would have found HAD HE CHECKED THE PAPERS BEFORE HE SENT LIKE YOU ASK HIM TO

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aymerlu 3]

When every dag blasted time you go to the bathroom sink and it looks like a puppy has had a bath in it from him doing wudu and sticking his feet in it and not taking the darn towel and wiping it up!!!

Sorry, had to get it out.

LOL! I thought I was the only one with that issue!

Instead of saying "I love you very much" they say "I love you too much"...then you start saying "I love you too much" too...LOL

Instead of cable, you got a big ol satellite TV dish on your roof or balcony so you can get the arabic tv stations

You no longer wear any gold that is below 21K

[Muh and me 18]

when there is water all over the bathroom floor cause they had a drain in the floor over there!

[sereia 0]

I could say sooooo many bad things but I'll keep my trap shut on this one.

[star_dragon 0]

when he says "Of course" or "no problem" or "yes, I did that" and in reality, there WAS a problem or no he DIDN'T do what he was supposed to, but answering yes to everything seemed better than admitting something wasn't done

[tenderheartusa79 14]

If you look at him when you are watching a movie together you will find out that he is looking at the bottom of the TV reading the subtitles LOL .

when a meal just isn't a meal without bread.

[doodlebugg 10]

When "thank you" could mean yes or no, depending on the situation and his mood.

When he takes 1 hour to shave because most of the time is spent plucking the hairs instead of shaving them!!! And then said hairs end up in the sink so when you go to brush your teeth all these lil hairs are EVERYWHERE.

You know you're in a MENA relationship when:

1. You suddenly convert to a religion you've only heard of a couple of times.

2. You try to use words from your SOs language, but - being a stupid American - you pronounce them completely wrong and sound more as retarded than as you really are.

3. Things that made your American boyfriends disgusting, slobs, vile, etc are perfectly acceptable and considered "cute" now with your MENA fiance.

4. You suddenly decide that living in a desert with no sanitation services, buying meat covered with flies, and living in a culture completely different from your own sounds like a swell idea.
