It's true, you should get away if you feel you are being abused. Keep in mind, he's from a different culture and he may think you are behaving badly too. But, please don't assume all Egyptian men are the same, unfortunately there are quite a few that try to scam Western women... but, it's pretty easy to differentiate these men, they are rather "cookie cutter". I've been married over 3 years to an Egyptian man, he's the most amazing man I've ever met. A fantastic husband and friend.
