Heh. If anyone disallowed anything in my house I'd be disallowing their azz to come through the front door ever again.

Get outta my head!!!

Tho I woulda ended it with 'he should disallow my foot in his ###'

So far, my compromise was to allow her to have shrimp in restaurants or someone else's home (still disallowed at home).

This post of yours makes a lot more sense to me now. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=724325

Honestly, the first time, I didn't really understand what you were trying to say. But now it makes sense. Shrimp is not "legal" in your home.

I can kind of understand where you're coming from I guess. My husband does not eat pork. And though he hasn't "disallowed" it in our home, I just find no reason to bring it into the house. I will eat it out at restaurants and such.

I think the word "disallow" has shocked some people. But I don't really see it as being a big deal, unless Pras were dying to cook shrimp at home and you've firmly forbid her from doing so.

The difference tho Jenn, is that your husband observes summat, and you respect that belief by not having it in the house.

That's a lot different than 'disallow'

Oh I meant to say....your poor wife!

But Deano, isn't that a bit different since you both share the same beliefs? Would you 'allow/disallow' food for a grown woman??????

So thats great something (the issue doesnt have to be food) you both have decided between yourselves and your both comfortable, not something the other is not allowing. Its all give and take and agreement, not one controlling, (only my thought)

i plan to not have pork in our home just to respect my husbands beliefs...but i don't think he would particularly disallow me from having it there. like jenn said, i'll just eat it when i'm not with him (mmmmmm bbq pork ribs.mmmmm bacon...mmm ham. mmm)

Don't act all surprised when a man disallows his wife certain things -- why do you think so many

people here import subservient wives from foreign countries? (CherryXS - not you.)

I just think it's so terribly sad to feel such power over another adult that you tell them what they can and cannot have in a home that's supposedly hers as well.

A real man wouldn't need to exert such authority. There, I said it. And I fcukin mean it too!

I still don't understand why someone would not allow their wife to eat shrimp at home. I'd like a clarification on that one.

See Leviticus 11:9-12

⁹ These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

¹¹ They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

¹² Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

you are right sister lisa, i never disallowed nothing ..i beleive marriage is understanding, patience, love, caring and each person is an individual first and a spouse second...so, i never disallow anything or feel like i have or want control over someone else....

DISALLOW strange word in a marriage - there are plenty of things Ahmed wont want to eat but he has said if i choose i can continue only he wont, not that he will disallow me, sorry your not in Kansas anymore.(figuratively speaking Charles)

i saw that!

Hmmm....methinks Cherry opened up a HUGE can of worms.

are they allowed under "Levitical Law" ????
