I am in love with a Tunisian Man and we are very happy

I have read a lot of the comments here today. I am an English Woman who is engaged to a man from tunisia. we are both in our early 3o's and live together. I am a christian and him muslim and sometimes i feel so isolated from some friends and family just because he is muslim. I always get the line 'he is so lovely and nice to you, but be careful as he is arabic and muslim'.

My fiance is so loving and very open minded and does not fit into that negative image of muslim men at all. He paid half my cost of going on girls holiday to ibiza (one of Europe's partying capitals). He cooks most nights as I work long hours and makes me feel safe and loved as a woman should be. Just like some other comments we celebrate christmas, Easter and Eid . When we have children he is happy for them to be Baptised, celebrate Christmas and Easter and I am happy for them to celebrate eid. I believe it enriches the lives of children not hinders them.

There is such a hang up on being with 'Muslim men' and as women I feel that we have forgotten that men no matter what colour, race or religion can be nice or horrible. You have to look at some of the woman's refugee centres and you will find that not all women are running away from muslim men!!!!

Just remember that a good man is a good man and a bad man is a bad man regardless of religion.

Ladies good luck in finding the man of your dreams
