Hi, I'm married to an Egyptian man for 10 years. He treats me like crap I met him in Australia not in Egypt! But he puts me down every chance he gets, if I don't do want he wants I get the emotional abuse from him, he does not care about my feelings or me come to think about it! He has hit me before but he does not think he has he says I hardly touched you yes mate you still hit me. I am scared of him as I don't like to upset him cause I know he will start on me and trust me it's not nice, I do fight back when he has done wrong but then try's to blame me even if I was not there! A lot of people say why do you stay with him your in Australia but I do love him with my heart I just wish he would show me respect and everything that a good man would do! My real question is he has told me last night that he is going back to Egypt to get away from me, and I think he is planning on filling for a divorce. Should I let him go or try to save my marriage?? Thanks for read! Laura.
