Actually I haven't spoken with his ex-wife, but I have the feeling she is ok with everything since she actually took the children to Egypt and left them there with his family before returning to the States in order to marry another Egyptian she met online. Should we have any children and to be honest the chance of that happening grows less likely each day, I would never willingly allow my child to taken to visit, much less live in another country without me. I did ask him about other women he has dated and after some descriptions of them I asked if I was the only educated woman he has dated.

Most of the other women were converts to Islam and most did not work or want to work and none had any education beyond a technical school degree. I wonder if this is common? He has already told me he is not exactly sure how he feels that I will have a PhD soon, roughly around the time he completes his B.S. and that he couldn't be with a woman who was or thought she was smarter than him.
