Let me get this straight- he's cheating on you, abusing you verbally, etc, and...?

Really, you need to get some therapy for low self esteem.

This man is :

a. cheating on you, and doesn't even care if you know about it...

b. calling you crazy and other verbal insults

c. telling you outright that he will not marry you but an Egyptian woman, and he just keeps you around for fun...

And this is not a sado-masochistic relationship? If it is, then you should be very pleased. If it is not, then please do yourself a huge favor and summon the strength to get out of it, and if you need therapy support to do it, then get some. I'm serious.

Sorry to be so harsh, but the reality is what it is, not what you would like it to be. Why shouldnt he stroke your hair and play nice? Look what he is getting for it! This sounds like a classic abused woman syndrome. get some help.
