Hi Farrah--Algerian husband, control, material things

Happy New Year Farrah!

Well, as you know, I've been following your story for the last several months.

Farrah, the reality is that this man of yours is very insecure and way too strict for his own good. I think he does not let you meet any of his friends because he does not want other men to even have the chance to look at you, because in some circles even that is adultery, including Christianity.

But, does that mean he should socially shelter you? Of course not! This is a method of control, Farrah, and I know this man provides you well with material things that you like, but I've really been wondering how much more of this you can take.
