And just WHAT are you supposed to get out of this deal??

Oh my goodness...

After two weeks, he's trying to push you into marriage... spelling out your various household duties... telling you that he "doesn't have time" to wait if you won't make up your mind pronto... cloaking his big rush as being religiously motivated.

Why in the world are you interested in this guy? You must be crazy, or so desperate for a husband you'd take on Charles Manson. You actually think marriage to a controlling foreigner you know nothing about (but who sound pretty damn scary) and who shares NONE of your interests and obviously doesn't give a damn what YOU want, is preferable to staying single for another minute?

... Laugh at him and walk away. But after you do that, PLEASE take a long look at why you were so eager to throw yourself into the arms of a guy like this... because a thousand other guys just like him are waiting around the corner to make you the same crappy offer. "I'll be your husband, if you'll agree to be my slave. Oh, and fetch me a green card while you're at it, woman!"
