Hi Lisa: Caveman eruptions

Submitted by Viking Woman (Kuwait), May 10, 2008 at 03:55

Am happy to help, and if you read my last 2 posts you will see why.

Please take a few minutes to read the Islamic law case in Maryland. I assure you this case is not a rare case, rather it is normal for wives in the Middle East. I also posted on being humiliated many times over with my own life, my own cases.

I did not meet my man online, I met him in the U.S. Educated, wealthy, and drank. Very open minded until I landed in his country. Having children also brought out the rules, laws, and sudden inspiration to follow Islamic law, except for himself. The "caveman" erupted so suddenly.

My point is on both articles, is that the man in Maryland is highly educated (Oxford is impressive) until it came down to giving his wife any rights.

To quote you:

"In fact, he will email or text me to ask me to call him, which is annoying, if he wants to talk he should just call. So, yes, obviously he does not want to pay for long distance calls."

This is a red light alert for any man. If a man truly wants to speak to you and respects you, he should make the phone calls. Furthurmore, no real man would expect a woman to pay for anything, especially long distance calls. Men throughout history have even given up their thrones for a woman, and pursuing the woman is in their nature. A real woman sits and waits for him to call.

Refuse to call him. If he doesn't call you--you've learned a tough lesson.

Wish you all the best
