Hi Arisa

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you... but sadly not surprised. What he said to you about sharing living costs is a lie - men are supposed to provide, and a woman's job is simple: take care of the house, honour the husband and raise the children. A woman pays ONLY if she offers to.

The moment an Arab man asks you for money... walk away. Actually don't walk, run.

I see no love here and definitely no respect. He sounds like a sadist. How did you marriage him, Arisa, was it an Orfi marriage or mosque/embassy? If it was an Orfi marriage, then it's practically void and doesn't mean anything. It seems like all these men are taking advantage of the fact that you don't know much about the culture... feel free to keep coming back here and ask us... a few of us have also been involved with Egyptian men. All the best and take care of yourself.
