I see so much focus on divorce being last resort but not enough focus on establishing a solid foundation before jumping into marriage.

Here's something to chew on...no matter how long you both have known each other and how many times you may have visited, the harsh reality for most if not all MENA spouses is that they have NEVER been to the US and you have never experienced each other in this culture. So...........that being said, the first month here is a true test of the relationship in my opinion.

Good luck with the Y! What a good thing to do for yourself. :thumbs:

I have to say I don't know what I would do without this site either. We all may fight on occasion but in the end we normally have each other's backs. ;)

Something that would be good for dee, or anyone facing this to do, is to go somewhere alone, get a coffee or whatever helps you think, and write down some lists.

1) What do I want

2) What do I think is wrong here

3) How I think we can fix it

4) What am I willing to do if we can't.

I find writing out and rewriting really helps! :thumbs:

:ot: oooh I just noticed your signature link to the wedding pics! Lovely just lovely!

Oh, thanks! There aren't many of me, mostly of my sisters, since it's my camera, but the Charlie's Angels-style pic is probably my favorite from the whole day.

A thread was locked again today after such a long time. I wonder why :whistle:

Is it Thursday yet? We are going to see the play 'Wicked' tomorrow. I already prepared him for it. He saw the movie 'THe Wizard of OZ' and 'The Wiz'. To my husbands friends that he talks to, and that check out this site, it is a secret. Don't mention it.

Why would your husbands friends be checking out this site??? :blink:

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5

I don't understand why the nappy thread was closed. I agree with the person who was offended, if sooooo many people have coarse and kinky hair, why say the guy needs to go to an african american barber? Clearly more than just black people have coarse and kinky hair.

Imus got canned for assuming black girls have nappy hair.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.

she may be fat but she's not 50

"poisoned by a jew" sounds like a Borat song

If you bring up the truth, you're a PSYCHOPATH, life lesson #442.

I thought it was due to his reference to a basketball team as "nappy headed hos" or something like that. Kind of a different thing in my opinion.

Not everyone has always used that term nappy as a bad word. Look at the first line in Stevie Wonder's song "I Wish"

"Lookin' back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy."

Should those lyrics be changed?

I don't think white people should be able to determine what black people find offensive or not. If african american people say something colloquially amongst themselves but find it offensive when non-african americans say it, then why do we care? Why not respect the fact it's offensive and move on?

Also, just because Imus added "ho's" into his stupid remark doesn't mean the nappy headed part wasn't offensive. If you watched what the girls said, nappy headed was just as offensive as the ho's part. They specifically said things like "my hair isn't nappy and how would he know anyway?"
