Erica, this is the life if you choose....

Dear Erica,

It is true, it does seem the Muslim male has an "ideal" for his wife. Is that so bad?? He wants you to simply be respectful of him and your new life together. And yes, they don't really tolerate tears. It is not a good life to live comfortably in Egypt?? Then you must do what you have to do to have the man of your dreams. It is a very good sign that the parents accept this relation. All the best to you.
