Your Mate

Hi Wendy!
Well let me see, what attracted me to my hunny. So much, the first was his patience. He has always been extremely patient with me and proved himself to be very trust worthy from the get go. He was a friend when I needed him to be and always there for me in every way imaginable. We have so much in common too. I was also intrigued ofcourse because he is Jordanian and Christian, like me.

During the course of the process I have grown to love him even more than I could have ever imagined. This process is like a living hell, we have been waiting 15 months to be reunited with no end in sight. As hellish as this all sounds, its also extremely comforting to know that someone is willing to go through all this hell just to be with me.

And you to be with him.. If somebody said that already, I dont know cuz I just started reading here.

I love when my husband does that too! He's got gorgeous eyebrows. Almost too beautiful for a man.

I like the way he lifts his left eyebrow.

Spock used to raise his eyebrows at times when talking with people depending on the situation or what was being said. It was kinda funny and when Charles said that I just got this picture in my head of Spock and Doodle hangin out in Egypt. Spock wearing his uniform of course.

that's illogical :lol:

I can't say the one thing that attracted me to my husband. Our story is sort of fairy tale-esque. But quick summary and history for me. I had a 7 month old son, whose father abandoned us when I was 5 months pregnant and a frosh. in College. I never quit school and had resigned myself that I would be alone with Mikhail for the rest of my life as obviously no man would want a relationship with me (this was after a few failed dates who failed for the reason that I had a child.) I went to Morocco with my dad and sister on vacation and felt so disgusted by the way guys would hoot and hollar. My sister met a guy in the souk in Marrakech and invited him to accompany us one night and I was steamed. He called another of his friends to go with us. Low and behold appears this guy at my side and the first time I looked at him it was right in the eyes. I knew in my heart he would be my husband. As it turns out his sisters were talking to the guy my sister had met and saw me with them. They went home and told Youssef they saw a girl with his friend and that they felt like we would be great together. I didn't find this out until much later but needless to say here we are, married for almost a year and have a little baby boy. He never questioned my son and loves him like his own. The major things that I love about him:

1) His sense of family and the respect he shows to his mother and sisters. I knew that he would always respect me because of the way he treated them.

2) The way he looks like a little doll when he is sleeping, totally peaceful and undisturbed

3) That he'll wake up with Khalil or Mikhail at anytime to change a diaper, get a bottle, or do whatever needs to be done.

4) His obsessive need to secure the house with locks, or just about anything that he can find to make sure no one can get in and hurt us. (Drives me nuts but is still endearing)

5) When he kisses my hand and looks in my eyes and I still feel the same butterflies I felt the first time I saw him.

Great post Wendy. We have had this posted a few times, but it is always good to refresh it in our minds and explore reasons others fell in love with their mates.

What made you attracted to your mate?

Well my husband in my opinion is a great person and man inside and out. Corny as it sounds, he is my soulmate. I had my doubts at first, but in the end my first feeling (way down deep) was correct---> He is the one for me!

What attracted me to my husband at first was that he is very optimist, always seeing the up side of every situation. ' He seems to swear by the 'I BELIEVE' motto. That if we believe we can achieve anything.

Mostly I think this comes from his upbringing and his country's not so recent tragic history.

My husband is also very imaginative and adventerous (something I was not really until I met him).

And not to mention he is very easy on the eyes. Another corny thing, but I will share this... if I were to make list of physical characteristcs I would ideally want in a man... my husband would come out. I have been overly blessed. :yes:

What was different about them that made you take a second and third look ect...?

His compassion and unworldly selflessness and gentle, patient, malleable nature astonishes me even to this day. And agian, not to mention the looks. *wink*wink*

What stereo types did you have to break down for your family to accept your mate...?

Well, I am still working throu them for my family. But many sterotypes have been and are being broken.

Breaking the myth all MENA men marry several wives:

My husband is intensely loyal and home-loving and will remain faithful. He understands and knows the reasoning for this particular part in his religion, but admints it is not for him.

Breaking the myth all MENA men are egotistical, self-indulgent, male chauvinist who rules his home with a iron fist:
They are never egotistical in their personal relationships and give more than they ask from their friends. They are sexually delicate, in the extreme almost asexual, and most Pisceans would want a relationship in which the partner's mind and spirit rather than the body resonated with their own. Unfortunately they can be easily misled by a lover who courts them delicately and in marriage makes them unhappy by a coarser sexuality than they expected.
