Egyptian Men - Response

Submitted by Louise (Egypt), Jan 10, 2008 at 17:37

I married my Egyptian husband officially at the British Embassy in Cairo, he said before we married that he would never want to live in the UK and he still maintains this.

He didn't have to do military service anyway because he is his parents only son.

I have no money, my husband pays for me and has provided a nice flat for us in Luxor which we live in, he treats me as he would have to treat an egyptian wife, he bought me all of the gold when we married and he doesnt not expect me to convert to Islam.

95% of Egyptian men are the same, but there is also that 5% who are different and marry western women for love not money. I'm just lucky i found a decent one.
