I am proud to see you stand up for your self like that. And i am sure you are this way in life in general. If more women could say no, and know what they are willing to put up with and what are relationship breakers and sticked with it, I am sure not so many would of gotten hurt. But to be honest most americans hear muslims and the image they get is Iran. So sad too. But that is why we must educate ourselves so we know what we are getting into. I am catholic and am learning about Islam. My fiance and i have talked about everything. To growing old together and how we would raise future children and the children i have. It helps to know the guidelines they consider life, just so you know you can make a good decision for your own life.

I also question this women too, on how this relates to you. It was a basic scare tactic. I have followed your story and I can tell you have read inbetween the lines and seen beyond the fantisies we often make for our selves. I wish you the best of luck . I am just hoping to get the Visa moving on my fiance, as this is my choice to bring him and support him. I just choose to not say a whole lot about my fiance because i do not want him to be attacked for being him, which is a good honest man. I can handle anything said about me. And over time the things in my relationship will come out. I think you are brave for putting it all out there, and kudos to you. But i can tell you the things you type about your man and relationship is like looking in a mirror with mine.
