To "Only in American" (sic) - I am being real!

I am not playing a long distance relationship. Why do you assume and presume I wonder? Please take comments for what they are on this blog and that is advice from women who have been in relationships and are in relationships with Muslim men.

As for "growing old with Muslim men" there are many western women with Muslm men in the area of Egypt that I am in now. It's all a matter of individuals, connection, patience and tolerance. One set of rules does not apply for everyone. These relationships are not easy but with understanding and honesty - surprise, surprise - they CAN work!

Interesting that you also assume that I/we are "old women". Taking your cue I detect that you have been conned by a younger Muslim man. People who live in glass houses shouldn't - you know the rest!
