My husband doesnt think he will be surprised with the dressing here.. BUT even when I come back from egypt and see all the cottage cheese thighs.. and cleavage hanging out like No Body's Business.. even I am taken back! And the females that would make him suck his teeth and shake his head.. well.. It's NOTHING compared to here!!!!!!!

But alhamdulillah .. it is nice to finally have a man that i DONT have to smack upside the head for eye trailing some sharmootah walking by!!

roflmao at the "sucking his teeth" comment. Usama does that all the time to me. lol I"m always like, "wha....do you need some dental floss or something?"

:lol: Hicham does that TOO!!!!!!! When I really started to notice him doing that...I was like...what is THAT? What are you doing? We've been together so long now, that I've started doing that. Too funny!

Sometimes they are very nieve(sp) about things here. For example: My SO thought we used scissors to cut the grass. I have 2/3 of an acre...we did that the grass would never be done. Some other cultural differences are way of dressing. I know we have argued about what he was wearing and have spent hours debating new clothes.
