MAJOR RED FLAG!

Dear Strabenzi: I spent 4 years in Saudi, so here's what you have to expect. I'm not slightly surprised your Saudi guy drinks, doesn't pray and shrugs off all that nasty Islamic routine. He's NOT IN SAUDI!! He can do as he pleases. Once he gets back, you're sewn into an abbaya, locked in a room, no transportation without his explicit permission and all the bells and whistles that make feminism about as popular as pork products over there!

Once you set foot on Saudi territory, you are his POSSESSION no less than his car keys. If you go, kiddo, you will have been warned and I won't have any more pity for your dire predicament than the hundreds or thousands of western women who allowed themselves to be seduced by Abdullah Blue Eyes and his endless littany of romantic promises and BS.

Use your brain now, 'cause once you're over there, you will have no further use for it.
