I Thought Your Relationship was Fine

He is lying to you. This is probably the wife of his family choice. That is how they do it. They find a wife…he comes to meet her and decide if he wants her…if his mother favors the girl more than likely he will too. My husband is Palestinian, they believe in the love coming after the marriage. They never actually know these women until they marry them.

My husband's brother has been coming from Italy for a year now to find a wife in their country. He has been living in Italy for 7 years or more and is now 32. Their mother is dead, but their 50+ year old sister is the one searching for his wife. When she finds one, he comes and meets her and her family along with his family. The only time he can talk to the girl is at family gatherings or on the phone. He cannot be alone with her nor do they date. If this is his cousin, this maybe an arrange married in process.

I thought everything was fine with you and your man. Luigi was right about women who entertain themselves with this site must have problems in their relationship.
