Donna - blinkers

Women in happy multiracial relationships come to this site in search of information for EDUCATION amd RESEARCH because that is why their relationships are successful. They are trying to understand a foreign culture and religion so that they can work with it and understand it more fully. They ask questions, they give advice and share their stories from another perspective. As I see it, the advice from a calmer soul is far more valuable than the advice from those who have been scammed or been in a disasterous relationship which is tainted with bitterness and anger.

Time and time again it is posted on here - but I never knew that he could take another wife - he wasn't like that before we were married - he has a temper - his family found him a virgin wife - he would rather be with his friends and on and on. Perhaps these women would have fared better if in happier times they had found this website and learned what could be a possibility in the future of their relationship. They may have been able to save their relationship or come out of it better prepared and aware.

Women who enter into these relationships blinkered, ignorant, in denial and naive will never have a long standing relationship with a Moroccan, Egyptian, Tunisian or what ever. Your condemnation of the right of women in happy relationships to be on this blog smacks of ignorance and selfishness.

Another conundrum - if you are questioning the right of women in happy relationships to be on this blog why aren't you also questioning the validity of why a person/s is/are on here who haven't even been in a non-muslim woman - muslim man relationship? Why are you condoning this individual's right to give advice and condemning the right of a portion of others that have been in this type of relationship. Makes no sense to me and is very biased. You only want to hear the angry and negative stuff - makes better reading I suppose.

In closing - surely if you were skinny and went to a website with the content on how to diet you would still learn something? You may be fat one day and need to diet.
