The ins and outs of Egyptians men

First off - why the heck would you marry someone you had only just met? Never mind if he was Egyptian or American.

Anyway i'm di i'm british and I'm married to the most wonderful Egyptian man - he has never taken 1 penny off me - he always looks after me - never asks me to buy for him anything.

I met him when on holiday last year - fell in love in the 2 weeks and went back over there to live and wrk with him - now yes they r very jealous - but i just had to lay down the ground rules - and i wasn't going to change for no1 - i told him this - an we argued a good few times over clothes and respect but you've just got to give and take - so now he doesn't mind if i drink or wat clothes i wear - within reason haha.

We got married properly in May just gone in Cairo - it wasn't the wedding of my dreams but it doesn't matter wne you r with the man u love - now we r in the process of getting his visa and i can't wait to get him in England - we spk every day and send texts every minute - I think i'm lucky i've found a good one - coz yes there r a lot of nasty Egyptians who just use European and American women for business - as in money but I know for sure mine is the real deal - and his family are lovely also as I have met them.

You just need to listen to your head and make sure you always know exactly wat ur doing - when u end up in a situation u aren't happy in - get out. You have to be in control or they will just take advantage of you.

So i hope i have put it straight that all Egyptians aren't money grabbers but just be careful - you'l know as soon as they ask u for money.
