I really am not sure if the husband would go so far as to make contact with people here and my concern is probably leftover paranoia from his many threats over in his country but nonetheless, I wanted women to know that these relationships can be dangerous. I have seen that my husband carried out every one of the threats he made thus far, such as cutting off contact and quitting work to avoid paying compensation ordered by court. The family is very fundamentalist muslim and thus my blackening the family honour by refusing divorce may be a serious thing.

In response to Pandora's question, no there hasn't been any contact whatsoever so this is just speculation. The man who seemed to be watching me was unsettling. I'm now living in another city so no worries.
