You are talking about a post of a Leigh Arrington back April 11, 2007:

"Submitted by Leigh Arrington (United States), Apr 11, 2007 at 09:41

I am an American woman who has just ended a 18 year relationship with a non practicing Muslim man. He turned 50 Oct 06 and now is exploring sexual freedom by going to bars and picking up women, his friends assure me it is a cultural thing and give him time to work it out.

I refuse to be with a man that treats me with less than the utmost respect. Women beware. The man's name is Mahmood (Max) Eizan. He is a liar and a cheat."

These are my posts telling about my soon to be ex-husband:

My soon to be Ex just turned 41 and I am 44, Lisa. We got married in 2008. I have not actually lived with him at all, like yourself. The lady in that comment has been with her husband 18 years. My husband does not drink and 18 years ago he was in college in Russia as myself here in the states. He grew up in Kuwait until the war started and all the Jordanians had to returned to Jordan right before America bombed the place. He seemed to be a good man. He gave me money for everything. He didn't sit in an internet cafe, he had his own computer. I was married before I found this website. One certified letter stopped the process. I gave him no choice but to tell the rest of his family about me and on another visit I met them. They accepted me so openly even if I wasn't a muslim. Still I could not bring myself to go through with it, like you will realize oneday.

As far as Islam, its nothing but a cult to me, and haven't you heard families being in on the scam! I'm sure you're not that stupid. My family didn't know about him ether that went both ways for awhile. Only geeky ugly women have to find men on the internet. I didn't want anyone to know how I met him.

A long tail is slang for the number of children a person have. I don't care who puts my soon to be ex down. I don't hate him. I ended it before he could do any harm to me. I got three free trips to Jordan and Israel and enjoy it, he got nothing from me. Honey he is a very handsome hardworking man, he looks better than your boy. He has a full head of black bueatiful hair, nice body and flawless skin. You don't know what your husband is doing and he's in another country. He definitely look the type to drink and hang in bars, he look trashy like someone told you before. I might have had other reasons to marry my husband, but if I'm going to be with an arab, he will not be a poor trashy looking one like someone on drugs. I will never say what my ex do or will not do, because I don't know, and you don't either. Never put anything pass a man or anyone or your feelings will be hurt.

If your husband doesn't associate himself with those kind of people and places, why did he have you in the neighbor of clubs and bars. My ending was not sour, we still talk to each other. I done it in a way that he wasn't hurt (by putting it on immigration). I was just afraid to go through with it. You need to check out the risks more and think about what you are doing. Its ashame and you got young kids that has to deal with mommy and her boy-husband. You will lose the respect of you oldest son because he is watching you. You need to think about that.
