I was gonna say the same thing!!!! I would wake up and go to the bathroom and he'd get up , sit in the living room and say "could i have some tea please". I thought it was cute though. I actually cried the first day back when we talked and he was drinking tea at the cafe 'cause I missed making it for him.

Yeah, it's cute at first, but then it's like "aren't you ever going to make tea for me??"

I stayed with my inlaws both times I've been to Egypt. We did the civil/Islamic marriage at the Ministry of Justice so we were able to "stay" together alone after marriage. Kafr el Dawar is quite an experience for an American. It was kinda like camping. Minimal ammenities.

We did the same though, so Islamically its not wrong for us to spend time together. My dad was just being so difficult.

Lucky! My husband would say, why don't you make us some tea? Once I accidently put salt instead of sugar. That was really cute

One evening after everyone was in bed, except us, Moh asked me to make tea. Well the kitchen was filthy..I wasn't about to wade through the dirty dishes and what not to make tea. I went back to the living room and told him the kitchen was too dirty. He got up and made the tea

Yeah my family is Egyptian. My dad just has this thing where he doesnt believe a girl should be alone with her husband until the BIG CEREMONY, which is wrong. We did ask a Imam about our situation and he said what my dad was doing was wrong..the only reason we went along with it was because he is my father after all. It was just extremely hard and stressful for me. It was my first time visiting Egypt too.

LOL "I said yes I do, and can you get me a pepsi too?" Payback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain, my dad was the same way. We aren't muslim, but we hardly got spend anytime time together alone and if we were alone, someone was interrupting every 10 minutes!

Come one, come all, to a thread on all things egypt related. Share stories about dealing with the embassy in Cairo, Egyptian culture and history, recipes, and the joys (and heartaches)of having an Egyptian SO (or being Egyptian yourself).

what a lovely idea, Rahma!
